Summary

Nearly 400 people joined us live to talk about Susan Cain ’s amazing Substack The Quiet Life. If you don’t know Susan Cain, she’s the author of the mega bestsellers “Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking” and “Bitter Sweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole.” She was a lawyer before becoming one of the most compelling writers of our time. We talk about envy and jealousy, how to write your posts/articles as kindred letters, how loving what you do makes a successful Substack and a more enjoyable life, the magic of her candlelight chats (the community feature she offers as an introvert and for introverts), and why "vibe" might just be the word for 2026.
