It’s #HolocaustRemembranceDay. This is my cousin Jack Terry who passed recently 💔. He was 1 of the bravest, most exceptional people I’ve ever met. He was 15 when his camp was liberated by 90th Infantry & was so grateful 2 America that after college he SERVED IN THE US ARMY!🇺🇸

Congrats to @susancain, who has written a gorgeous new book on the beauty of sad things. BITTERSWEET is about how sorrow and longing make us whole; why some of us love sad music and rainy days. This book touched my soul - I think it will touch yours, too!

[Susan Cain @susancain]

It’s Bittersweet publication day, here in the U.S.! This has been a many-year labor-of-love, and I hope the book finds you exactly where and when you need it.

(International editions coming soon).

Thank you for the opportunity to write this piece on learned helplessness and hope for @psyche_the_mag, @Psych_Writer -- it was a reminder of the importance of HOPE during hard times.... and how we can all cultivate hope to be more resilient.

[Dr Christian Jarrett 🇺🇦 @Psych_Writer]
