The #1 New York Times best-selling authors of Lean In and Originals, Facebook's COO and a highly regarded professor at Wharton, bring us a compelling, motivational, and useful book on overcoming life's inevitable disappointments and embracing resilience.
Sheryl Sandberg was certain she and her kids would never experience true joy after her husband's unexpected death. She describes herself as being in "the void," a huge emptiness that engulfs your heart and lungs and makes it difficult for you to think or even breathe. Adam Grant, a psychologist at Wharton and her friend, informed her that individuals may take specific actions to heal and move on from traumatic events. We don't all have the same level of resilience from birth. Anybody may develop this muscle.
Option B blends Adam's enlightening study on perseverance in the face of hardship with Sheryl's own observations. Sheryl gives out her heart—and her journal—to share the intense loss and loneliness she experienced when her husband, Dave Goldberg, passed away. She starts with the heartbreaking moment she discovers her spouse unconscious on a gym floor. Option B, however, goes beyond Sheryl's loss to examine how many other individuals have triumphed over a variety of adversities, including as disease, unemployment, sexual assault, natural catastrophes, and wartime atrocities. Their tales demonstrate the human spirit's ability to endure and find pleasure again.
Both external assistance and deep inside ourselves are the sources of resilience. It is possible to grow even in the wake of the most tragic occurrences by discovering a deeper meaning and developing a better respect for life. Option B provides insight into how to support those in need, cultivate self-compassion, rear resilient kids, and build resilient families, communities, and workplaces. Numerous teachings from this book may be applied to daily challenges, empowering us to face whatever is ahead. Sheryl, a widow for two weeks, was getting ready for a father-child event. "I desire Dave," she sobbed. "Option A is not available," her buddy said, promising to assist her in maximising Option B.
Each of us embodies Option B in some way. We can all maximise it with the aid of this book.
