By Sheryl Sandberg, Anna Souillac, Adam M Grant. 2017

DAISY audio (CD), DAISY audio (Direct to player), DAISY audio (Zip)
Self help, Death and bereavement
Human-narrated audio

Après le décès soudain de son mari, Sheryl Sandberg était certaine que ni elle ni ses enfants ne pourraient de…

nouveau être heureux. J'étais dans un "néant", écrit-elle, un vide abyssal qui envahit votre coeur et vos poumons puis limite votre capacité à penser et même à respirer. Son ami Adam Grant, psychologue à Wharton, lui a expliqué qu'après un traumatisme nous traversons des étapes pour s'en remettre et renaître. La résilience n'est pas innée : c'est un muscle que tout le monde peut développer. Option B combine l'expérience de Sheryl et les recherches d'Adam sur la façon de faire face à l'adversité. Racontant le moment déchirant où elle trouve son mari, Dave Goldberg, étendu sur le plancher d'une salle de sport, Sheryl ouvre son coeur - et son journal - et met des mots sur le chagrin et l'isolement ressentis après son décès. Mais Option B va bien au-delà du deuil de Sheryl ; par le biais de nombreux témoignages, il explore la façon de surmonter les tragédies de la vie. Ces histoires révèlent la capacité de l'esprit humain à persévérer... et à redécouvrir la joie. La résilience vient du plus profond de notre être et du soutien que l'on trouve autour de nous. Même après les événements les plus terribles, il est possible de grandir en trouvant un sens plus profond à notre vie. 2017.
