There are more than 300,000 European childhood cancer survivors (in 2020, they will be nearly half a million): two-thirds of them have some late side effects of treatment, that are severe and impact on the daily life of half of those affected.

In 2015, Sheryl Sandberg, renowned for her successful career and leadership roles, faced an unimaginable tragedy when her husband, Dave Goldberg, passed away suddenly at the young age of forty-eight. This devastating loss left Sandberg and her two young children in a state of profound grief, where the future seemed bleak, devoid of joy or purpose.
In the midst of her grief, Sandberg found herself grappling with the harsh reality of the first father-child activity without a father. Desperate for Dave’s presence, she yearned for the unattainable “Option A.” It was during a heartfelt conversation with a supportive friend that a pivotal insight emerged: “Option A is not available. So let’s just kick the shit out of Option B.”
This simple yet profound revelation encapsulates a universal truth—we all encounter some form of Option B in our lives. Loss, whether in the form of a lost job, lost love, or lost life, is an inevitable part of the human experience. The key lies not in avoiding these hardships but in how we confront and navigate them when they inevitably arise.
“Option B,” a deeply thoughtful, honest, and revealing account, weaves together Sheryl Sandberg’s personal journey through adversity with fresh insights derived from the research of Adam Grant and other leading social scientists. Within its pages, you’ll encounter stories of individuals who have not only recovered from profound personal and professional setbacks but have emerged from them even stronger.
This book doesn’t just offer solace; it provides valuable insights into dealing with hardships in our own lives and extending a helping hand to those facing crises. It delves into the concept of post-traumatic growth, demonstrating that after experiencing life’s most crushing blows, many individuals not only bounce back but propel themselves forward. Moreover, it explores the idea of pre-traumatic growth, where resilience can be cultivated even in the absence of tragedy.
Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant’s collaborative work doesn’t stop at personal resilience. They explore how we can foster the development of strong, resilient children, build supportive communities and workplaces, and ultimately discover meaning, love, and joy in our lives.
Reflecting on her own transformative journey, Sandberg shares, “Dave’s death changed me in very profound ways. I learned about the depths of sadness and the brutality of loss. But I also learned that when life sucks you under, you can kick against the bottom, break the surface, and breathe again.”
“Option B” serves as a testament to the human spirit’s resilience and ability to find hope, growth, and renewal even in the face of life’s most challenging circumstances.
