This book will teach you to appreciate each of your experiences and find a resource in them in order to feel more subtly and poignantly all the diversity and beauty of this world.

How often have you heard: “Don’t be sad, don’t be upset, "You shouldn't cry"? Sadness, melancholy, acute experience of what is happening, in fact, belong to the spectrum of human emotions that we strive to avoid in every possible way. This book is dedicated to the study of these bittersweet experiences.

Under the cover you will find answers to many ambiguous and deep questions:

– Is there any benefit from sadness?

– How to survive the loss of love?

– How to overcome toxic positivity at work and in your personal life?

– Do we inherit the pain of our parents and ancestors? And if so, is it possible to cope with it after several generations?

The results of recent scientific research and numerous real-life examples show that sad emotions can be of great benefit. They are the ones who can become our secret strength, a source of creative inspiration and growth. They help you find wholeness and peace.
