Review
“Sheryl writes about her own heartbreaking experience with a rare honesty. Then she and Adam translate her personal story into a powerful, practical guide for anyone trying to build resilience in their own lives, communities, and companies. It’s hard enough to resonate with readers. It’s even harder to help them take concrete steps toward a better future. Option B does both.”—Bill and Melinda Gates, co-chairs of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

“I recommend this inspiring book to everyone around the world. None of us can escape sadness, loss, or life’s disappointments, so the best option is to find our Option B.”—Malala Yousafzai, Nobel Peace Prize winner

“Thoughtful, insightful, and compelling. Both individually and collectively, we all need to understand the power of rehabilitation, recovery, and redemption if we are to overcome adversity. This incredible book doesn’t avoid the loss and tragedy we all sometimes encounter, but it is animated by a resolve that is both inspiring and instructive.” —Bryan Stevenson, author ofJust Mercy and founder of the Equal Justice Initiative

“Option B is as hopeful as it is heartbreaking. Here are stories of sometimes unimaginable pain and loss, but also of how human beings nonetheless have the capacity to endure and even thrive. This book is not just an absorbing read. It also provides lessons that everyone needs to learn.”—Atul Gawande, author ofBeing Mortal

“Illuminating, original, and deeply inspiring, Option B is one part riveting memoir, one part heal-your-heart boot camp, one part stories of others who learned to thrive in the face of profound loss: a practical, vital contribution to the literature on loss and resilience.”—Cheryl Strayed, author ofWild

畅销书《向前一步》作者、脸书COO谢丽尔·桑德伯格的丈夫戴夫·高德伯格于2015年5月突然去世，谢丽尔感觉自己和孩子们再也不会有真正纯粹的快乐了。她在书中写道：“我陷入了空虚。巨大的空虚占据了我的心脏、我的肺叶，限制了我思考的能力，甚至呼吸的能力。”谢丽尔的朋友、沃顿商学院知名心理学家亚当·格兰特告诉谢丽尔，我们可以采取一定的方法，一步步从支离破碎的不幸与灾难中复原。我们不是生来就拥有复原力的，复原力需要我们在后天培养和提升。
本书将谢丽尔的个人经历与亚当关于培养复原力的开放性研究结合起来，进行了深入分析及阐述。谢丽尔向我们敞开心扉，从她发现丈夫猝然倒在健身房的地板上开始，描述了她在丈夫去世后感受到的极度悲伤和孤独。然而，本书并没有局限于谢丽尔的个人经历，而是从更广泛的层面去探讨我们该如何克服人生中的逆境，包括疾病、失业、性侵、自然灾害、战争、暴力等不幸。同时，来自不同群体的案例也揭示了每个人都可以培养及提升内在坚韧的复原力，并且拥有重获快乐的能力。
复原力源自我们的更深层次的内在，也来自外部的支持。即便经历了毁灭性的打击与不幸，我们仍可能找到更多的人生意义，并且学会感恩，从而获得成长。本书还提供了诸多极具实践性的方法，启发我们积极地帮助他人，培养自己的同理心，乐善好施，教育出更加坚毅的孩子，创建具有复原力的家庭、职场和社区。

戴夫去世两周后，当孩子们准备参加学校的亲子活动却没有父亲的陪伴时，谢丽尔痛苦地对朋友说：“我只想要戴夫。”朋友说：“既然选择A已经不存在，你就只能考虑选择B了。”
是的，每个人都有可能面对人生中的选择B，这本书将帮助我们充分了解选择B，向前一步，乐观积极地应对生活中的挑战与失败，重新找到快乐与幸福。
#1 New York Times Best Seller
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. ButOption 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 ofOption B.
We all live some form ofOption B. This book will help us all make the most of it.

Breathing Again
ABOUT A YEAR after Dave died, I was at work when my cell phone buzzed. An old friend was calling, and since nobody calls anyone anymore, I figured it must be important. It was. My friend had horrible news about a young woman she mentors. A few days earlier, the young woman had gone to a birthday party,and as she was leaving she noticed that a coworker needed a ride home.
Since he lived nearby, she offered to drop him off. When they arrived, he pulled out a weapon, forced her inside, and raped her.
The young woman went to the hospital for a rape kit exam and then reported the attack to the police. Now my friend was looking for ways to provide comfort and knew I’d met this young woman, so she asked if I would talk with her and offer support. As I dialed her number, I felt nervous about whether I’d be able to help someone recover from something so violent. But as I listened to her, I realized some of what I’d learned about overcoming grief might resonate with her too.
We plant the seeds of resilience in the ways we process negative events. After spending decades studying how people deal with setbacks, psychologist Martin Seligman found that three P’s can stunt recovery: (1) personalization—the belief that we are at fault; (2) pervasiveness—the belief that an event will affect all areas of our life; (3)permanence—the belief that the aftershocks of the event will last forever.The three P’s play like the flip side of the pop song“Everything Is Awesome”—“everything is awful.” The loop in your head repeats,“It’s my fault this is awful. My whole life is awful. And it’s always going to be awful.”
