《阅读与分享》Option B,强推!
【夕阳无限好,只是近黄昏】。
生命虽美好却短暂!Sheryl Sandberg,脸书的营运长,有个快乐的家庭,和丈夫Dave及两个小孩住在California。有一天,老公意外过世,她剎间觉得自己不可能再幸福了。此书就记录着Sandberg 这两年以来的心路历程,从失去伴侣,到慢慢的复原,重新找回快乐。这本书结合了Sandberg 独到的洞见,以及她好友Adam Grant、Wharton 心理学教授,对于如何从逆境复原的研究发现,再加上收录了来自各领域许多人克服逆境的故事,非常励志及精彩。就像Sandberg 所说:
Resilience is the strength and speed of our response to adversity , and we can build it. It isn't about having a backbone. It's about strengthening the muscles around our backbone.
很开心能向书友借到这本书,已差不多一年没好好地阅读一本英文书了。这本书也是Amazon.com 2017年内最畅销及最受欢迎的其中一本书,可以说是非常励志,也是本年度最受推荐的一本书。中文书名为《拥抱B选项》。
