House Calls with Dr. Vivek Murthy | 10.19.22 | How Do We Navigate the Joy and Sorrow of Being Human?

What is the feeling you get when a sad, familiar song tugs at you? Or the exquisite pain that comes with the awareness of passing time and loves lost? Author Susan Cain identifies the simultaneous mixture of joy and sorrow in life as 'bittersweetness.’ In this conversation with the Surgeon General, we learn about harnessing the forces of sadness and grief as ways of connecting. Light and dark, birth and death, the bitter and sweet are forever paired. Accepting this balance can bring comfort and solace to the experience of loss, which Cain sees as part of life's journey. Join in to understand how we can transform pain into beauty and longing into belonging.
