En savoir plus sur le livre

After the sudden death of her husband, Sheryl Sandberg believed she and her children would never experience joy again, describing her grief as "the void," an overwhelming emptiness that hampers thought and breath. Her friend Adam Grant, a psychologist, introduced her to the idea that resilience can be cultivated through concrete steps. This work blends Sheryl's personal journey with Adam's research on overcoming adversity. She recounts the heartbreaking moment she found her husband, Dave Goldberg, and the profound isolation that followed. However, the narrative extends beyond her personal loss, showcasing how various individuals have triumphed over challenges such as illness, job loss, sexual assault, natural disasters, and war. These stories highlight the human spirit's capacity to endure and rediscover joy. Resilience is both an internal strength and a product of external support. Even after devastating events, growth is possible through finding meaning and appreciation in life. The work offers insights on aiding those in crisis, fostering self-compassion, raising resilient children, and building strong communities and workplaces. Many lessons are applicable to everyday struggles, empowering us to face future challenges.
