Susan Cain Quotes

We All Write Our Life Stories As If We Were Novelists, McAdams Believes, With Beginnings, Conflicts, Turning Points, And Endings. And The Way We Characterize Our Past Setbacks Profoundly Influences How Satisfied We Are With Our Current Lives. Unhappy People Tend To See Setbacks As Contaminants That Ruined An Otherwise Good Thing ("I Was Never The Same Again After My Wife Left Me"), While Generative Adults See Them As Blessings In Disguise ("The Divorce Was The Most Painful Thing That Ever Happened To Me, But I'm So Much Happier With My New Wife").
