Bittersweet
Writer Susan Cain describes bittersweet feelings as “a tendency to states of longing and sorrow and a curious joy at the beauty of the world”. Embracing these emotions can make our lives more meaningful. Such feelings can create motivation to reach a renewed sense of purpose. While sometimes unpleasant, they can spur spiritual growth and foster our connection with others.
The Secret Life of Secrets
Is keeping a secret a bad thing? In professor Michael Slepian’s book, “People don’t like to be alone with their thoughts, and having a secret can cause feelings of isolation and uncertainty.” Therefore, it’s probably good to find a different way to cope, like telling your trusting friends. Slepian offers tips on how to decide whether to keep or reveal a secret to avoid harming relationships.
As a child, she lived in poverty and also went through ups and downs, “I am very sensitive to people who are more unfortunate, ”Baggs says. As a young adult, she joined the British Transport Commission police, but dealing with children who couldn’t find their parents was too much to bear. “I knew what they were going through. I like kids. I really do. ”Later she left the police and worked in Wiltshire council. But no doubt her childhood fed into her actions as a councillor, and later mayor in Calne, where she helped to set up a drop-in centre for young people. The drop-in was one of the causes she raised money for with that first leap out of the plane.
3.What aspect do Platonic and The Secret Life of Secrets both involve?
A.Pursuing wealth and health.
B.Reading to stop isolation of life.
C.Revealing a secret for stable friendship.
1.What does Susan Cain try to convince us in her book?
A.Bitter feelings can change into sweet ones.
B.Unpleasant emotion blocks our mental growth.
C.Accepting sorrow and happiness makes us whole.

This year’s favorite books offer a mixture of advice on how to create a happier and more compassionate society through shifting our worldview and improving our social interactions.
Platonic
“Friendships are wrongly undervalued in our society,” writes psychologist Marisa Franco. It’s friendships that provide us with a great sense of belonging and happiness. Her book shows us how to go about it—by reaching out, offering affection and generosity. Franco gives practical guidance on how to manage psychological blocks to frtionships.
Happier Hour
Many people feel they don’t have enough hours to do everything they’d like to do. But researcher Cassie Holmes shows why this attitude is wrong-headed.
