Sheryl Sandberg – författare

När Sheryl Sandberg, Facebooks operativa chef, hittar sin make livlös på ett gymgolv drabbas hon av en häftig sorg. Hon kastas in i ett tomrum och är övertygad om att hon och barnen aldrig kommer att kunna uppleva ren glädje igen.

Men så får hon hjälp av sin vän, psykologiprofessorn Adam Grant, som berättar hur hon kan ta sig upp över ytan igen.

Plan B är en inspirerande handbok om att stärka återhämtningsförmågan och gå vidare i livet efter både små och stora kriser. Den blandar Sheryl Sandbergs personliga insikter med Adam Grants djupt intressanta forskning om att hantera livets motgångar.

Det finns alltid en plan B. Den här boken hjälper dig att få ut mesta möjliga av den. Sheryl skriver om sin egen hjärtskärande upplevelse med en sällsynt uppriktighet. Sedan överför hon och Adam hennes personliga berättelse till en kraftfull handbok för alla som försöker stärka återhämtningsförmågan i sina egna liv, samhällen och företag. Det är svårt nog att göra intryck på läsare. Det är ännu svårare att hjälpa dem att ta konkreta steg mot en bättre framtid. Plan B lyckas med båda.

#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • “A landmark manifesto" (The New York Times) that's a revelatory, inspiring call to action and a blueprint for individual growth that will empower women around the world to achieve their full potential. In her famed TED talk, Sheryl Sandberg described how women unintentionally hold themselves back in their careers. Her talk, which has been viewed more than eleven million times, encouraged women to “sit at the table,” seek challenges, take risks, and pursue their goals with gusto. Lean In continues that conversation, combining personal anecdotes, hard data, and compelling research to change the conversation from what women can’t do to what they can. Sandberg, COO of Meta (previously called Facebook) from 2008-2022, provides practical advice on negotiation techniques, mentorship, and building a satisfying career. She describes specific steps women can take to combine professional achievement with personal fulfillment, and demonstrates how men can benefit by supporting women both in the workplace and at home.

Random House presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Option B by Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant, read by Elisa Donovan.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.
