Option B is the single wisest book about grief I have ever found
... I have tried to think of anyone who would not find Option B
invaluable at some point in their life, and I can’t.
*Guardian*
Remarkable, generous, honest, [and] almost unbearably poignant …
This is a book that will be quietly passed from hand to hand, and
it will surely offer great comfort to its intended readers.
*New York Times*
It's a humbling - and tearjerking - story of humanity.
*The Pool*
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*
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 take concrete steps
towards a better future. Option B does both.
*BILL AND MELINDA GATES, co-chairs of the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation*
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 of Just 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 of Being 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 of Wild*
As someone who has spent the last 25 years immersed in the field of
grief and bereavement I didn’t think I’d learn very much from
Option B, but I did. It gave me useful ideas, ways of thinking and
small steps that help rebuild a life after the death of someone we
love. Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant have succeeded in combining
useful information with heartfelt stories, which is illuminating
and helpful. It is a book I highly recommend.
*JULIA SAMUEL, author of Grief Works*
