I’m married to an introvert and found your book QUIET to be helpful and encouraging.

Dear You, The other day, I woke up feeling nervous about some afternoon meetings. I knew that the meetings were in fact no big deal. I knew that I’d probably end up enjoying them. This knowledge was intellectually helpful but made little difference. From years of experience, I also knew that I had to just endure the unpleasant feelings, ‘til the meetings were over. In the meantime, I sat there in bed and scrolled through my emails (which is of course the exact wrong thing to do when stressed).

Dear You,If who were able to participate in this past Sunday’s Candlelight Chat with Lori Gottlieb (the psychotherapist and mega-bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone) - wasn’t she so full of wisdom? And wasn’t the atmosphere especially delicious? As one of you wrote afterwards, “I may not remember the details of everything that was spoken about, but I remember the feeling of being in the presence of kindness and the message and reminder to treat myself that same way.

Hi friends,It’s almost here! Tomorrow I’m hosting a special workshop for paid subscribers with the bestselling author —that’s Sunday, February 25 from 1-2pm ET. Over the last couple of years, I’ve heard so many of you remark on the chemistry between Susan’s work and mine. And it’s so true.

Does your heart skip a beat as soon as you hear a calling bell, a lot of noise somewhere, or an unexpected appearance of a person? Are you considered to be an arrogant and rude personality because of your silence? Are you often fed up with the infamous “aur bata, tu bata” concept of the people around you?

As in, when you hear something like the “Moonlight Sonata,” “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen, or the soundtrack from “Garden State,” do you feel a gripping, physical sensation in the region of your heart? If so, then you might be a bittersweet type.
