Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant announced that they will be working together on a new book entitled Option B. This nonfiction title will examine the idea of “building resilience and finding meaning in the face of adversity.” According to Grant’s Facebook post, some of the topics that the two collaborators will touch on includes talking about difficult subjects, offering comfort to those in pain, and raising strong children.
The New York Times reports that neither Sandberg nor Grant have revealed the name of the publisher behind this project. Sandberg decided to take on this project following the tragic death of her husband, Dave Goldberg (who passed away in May 2015). 30 days after this event, she wrote a message on Facebook about the ritual of sheloshim and her new mission. Here’s an excerpt:
“Dave, to honor your memory and raise your children as they deserve to be raised, I promise to do all I can to kick the shit out of option B. And even though sheloshim has ended, I still mourn for option A. I will always mourn for option A.”
