Take a listen to this week's episode of "Happier." We're joined by author Susan Cain to discuss her new book, “Bittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole.” https://t.co/lKLJVhja04

I’m a big fan of the writing of my old friend @ajjacobs. He wrote a hilarious piece about reading the terrible rip-off summaries of his new book, The Puzzler, on Amazon, and then trying to publish his own summary. https://t.co/yHzS5GLpb7

There's something deeply comforting about returning to the imagined town of Crosby, Maine, where familiar characters such as Lucy Barton, Bob Burgess, and Olive Kitteridge remind us of the power of quiet moments of understanding.

I love "two paths diverge" stories—like Lionel Shriver's brilliant "The Post Birthday World" or the delightful movie Sliding Doors. @matthaig1's "The Midnight Library" is a fantastical look at what it might be like to explore the "what ifs" of our lives. https://t.co/ognHALrXAi

I love looking at book covers, and I enjoyed seeing this collection of “The 11 Best book Covers of August.” I’d already seen and admired the cover of Emi Yagi’s “Diary of a Void.” Many great ones, but that’s my favorite. https://t.co/JeRHZtONus https://t.co/GztthqM2rH

Congratulations to @adriennebrodeur! I can’t wait to get my hands on her new novel “Little Monsters.” Elizabeth and I had a great time interviewing her about her memoir “Wild Game: My Mother, Her Lover, and Me” for the Happier Podcast Book Club. https://t.co/XZv1bTKJA6
