Option B

Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy
Oct 28, 2017
Sheryl Sandberg is the COO of one of the largest companies in the world. That fact does not exclude her from one of the biggest heartbreaks of life--the sudden loss of her husband. In writing this book, "Option B" with Adam Grant she takes the reader on an intimate journey into the experience from the moment of his death to the next twelve months, telling us how she transitioned from the initial shock, grief and difficulty coping to the place where she is now. What I loved about the book is how Sheryl's intelligence, vulnerabilities and courage came through. This is a woman who's corporate personae is not diminished by her candour. Each step of the way (and all the slips backwards) she provides anecdotes supported by coping methods that helped her get through each day; the parent teacher conferences without her husband, the first birthday without her husband, all the social events and important work challenges without her life partner and friend. This is a book about "facing adversity, building resilience and finding joy" again.
