From Facebook's COO and Wharton's top-rated professor, the #1 New York Times best-selling authors of Lean In and Originals: a powerful, inspiring, and practical book about building resilience and moving forward after life's inevitable setbacks.
After the sudden death of her husband, Sheryl Sandberg felt certain that she and her children would never feel pure joy again. "I was in 'the void, '" she writes, "a vast emptiness that fills your heart and lungs and restricts your ability to think or even breathe." Her friend Adam Grant, a psychologist at Wharton, told her there are concrete steps people can take to recover and rebound from life-shattering experiences. We are not born with a fixed amount of resilience. It is a muscle that everyone can build.
Option B combines Sheryl's personal insights with Adam's eye-opening research on finding strength in the face of adversity. Beginning with the gut-wrenching moment when she finds her husband, Dave Goldberg, collapsed on a gym floor, Sheryl opens up her heart--and her journal--to describe the acute grief and isolation she felt in the wake of his death. But Option B goes beyond Sheryl's loss to explore how a broad range of people have overcome hardships including illness, job loss, sexual assault, natural disasters, and the violence of war. Their stories reveal the capacity of the human spirit to persevere . . . and to rediscover joy.
Resilience comes from deep within us and from support outside us. Even after the most devastating events, it is possible to grow by finding deeper meaning and gaining greater appreciation in our lives. Option B illuminates how to help others in crisis, develop compassion for ourselves, raise strong children, and create resilient families, communities, and workplaces. Many of these lessons can be applied to everyday struggles, allowing us to brave whatever lies ahead. Two weeks after losing her husband, Sheryl was preparing for a father-child activity. "I want Dave," she cried. Her friend replied, "Option A is not available," and then promised to help her make the most of Option B.
We all live some form of Option B. This book will help us all make the most of it.

两个晚上几乎通宵看完…比想象中更坦诚，更痛苦，也更有力量。内容太饱满，不想讨论语言上风格的变化了。Sandberg已坐稳我心中女神的地位，没争议了。

最喜欢第二章房间里的大象。这本书有一个比较大的特点就是不接地气，无法让普通读者有代入感。但是很多描述她自身心理变化的部分很推荐。

个人感觉并不如非暴力沟通，清醒地活这类作者的输出给人更多益处，创作内容和思考的深度也不在一个层面。 书里的东西拼凑，散乱，作者更多的是因为自己个人已有的社会地位和所接触的圈子而使书得以轻松出版和得到更好的宣传，评分高也不代表任何。 更加验证的是，读书不用太追求评分，无论什么书都可以试读。 有社会地位，和所谓名人出的书要谨慎，不管是谢丽尔桑德伯格，还是王石，还是之前数字一百的总裁，都出过书，也都看... 个人感觉并不如非暴力沟通，清醒地活这类作者的输出给人更多益处，创作内容和思考的深度也不在一个层面。 书里的东西拼凑，散乱，作者更多的是因为自己个人已有的社会地位和所接触的圈子而使书得以轻松出版和得到更好的宣传，评分高也不代表任何。 更加验证的是，读书不用太追求评分，无论什么书都可以试读。 有社会地位，和所谓名人出的书要谨慎，不管是谢丽尔桑德伯格，还是王石，还是之前数字一百的总裁，都出过书，也都看过，读完莫名感悟到一种一个圈子里互相捧角互相逐利的感觉。 能做到较为客观、真实的名人自传倒是可以阅览一番。 书是在2021年于当时的住处收到的，这书于我的意义更多的是赠书的人，在我遇到挫折时，对方给予帮助的实质行为，让我每眉回想起都很多次的感恩，真的很感恩有这样一位朋友。 (展开)
