Option B

by Sheryl Sandberg

So, you’ve heard of “Option A,” the dream life plan everyone’s chasing, right? But what happens when life throws a curveball and that plan shatters?

That’s where “Option B” comes in, penned by the powerhouse duo, Sheryl Sandberg (yeah, the Facebook COO) and psychologist Adam Grant.

This isn’t your everyday self-help book — it’s Sheryl’s raw and real journey after the sudden death of her husband. It’s about staring into the abyss of grief and finding a way to climb out.

Here’s the heart of it:

1. Kick the Elephant Out: Talk about the hard stuff. Sheryl gets real about grief and how facing it head-on matters.
2. Build Your Resilience: This is your emotional muscle. The book’s packed with ways to strengthen it — not just for you but for your loved ones, too.
3. Joy is a Discipline: Finding happiness again isn’t just a hope; it’s a practice. Sheryl and Adam show you how to rediscover it.
