Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant Interview on ‘Option B’ Book

[@carolburns3698]

Amen! Well Said! Adam & Sheryl in my hometown Philadelphia. Thank you for sharing your words of wisdom. I cannot wait for the book. After losing my father in 2013, and even before. I appreciate "Life" and look at life through a different lens. As a single parent, there were so many times I could've given up pursuing my Bachelor of Science degree, but I kept pushing, and now many years later. My first born graduated with her B.Arts degree. Thank you,

[@toddvandell85]

I liked that talk about brand building. What Sheryl seemed to be saying, as I heard it, or what I felt she was trying to suggest was: *"HAVE* a brand. Don't *BE* a brand." I feel that's pretty sage advice.

[@yasminkouzegari1]

She is my role model for everything. I would like to be her soon in my 35. she is a very strong female leader for our generation. so inspiring.

Traps of tragedy: - 3Ps: Personalization - It is your fault. Self compassion to forgive yourself. Speak to yourself as a friend Pervasive - Everything in my life is a disaster. Feeling gratitude. Permanence - This will stay this way forever. It definitely gets better.

I resonated so much with this conversation and experiece! But the thing that stuck the most with me is that you need permission to be happy again. SO true! You feel like your happiness depends on the people to encourage you and permit you and you seek for that. Grief comes narural, but happiness is burdened with guilt and may be it shouldn’t be, it is inborn right.

Two of the lesser points that are emphasized in this talk are: 1. help others and 2. psychotherapy. I believe that being externally focused on helping others is a lens that is adaptable to younger people. I think they have the luxury of time and other resources to want and spend more time making a difference in the world. I believe one of the characteristics is that they value meaning over money, especially in work roles. Secondly, what is the worst thing that could happen? Follow-up, how would you feel about it? Unpacking these emotions and perhaps developing a plan can help individual feel more in control and gain some much need perspective.

You can't get through it. Not right away. I lost my best friend, my husband, and my father in one year. You need to go away. I went to Europe for a few weeks. Change of scenery helps a great deal. After the funeral...people go to their homes and families. Your really on your own. Faith in God helped me. God was and still is my best friend

[@linskelton3511]

WOW!!!!! I am so delighted I found you. Your quote about kick the shit out of option B. WOW, I will begin each day with this quote!!!!!

[@jacobzaranyika9334]

Thank you🙏 I will look at this later.

Believe or not as a white male in my mid-40s as a highly conservative with a flair for hating everything Facebook - Sheryl is extremely poetic and for all her Liberal Feminisms that irk me to know end - her book Lean In is a manual for just living life on both sides of the equation in being male and female. I know sh'es moved back on the book a bit and her sequal (yet to read) is more exploratory I guess, but she is obviously a beacon for me and women and there are great lessons to ake away from Lean In. I know she's basically the anti-Christ to most people, but maybe less ... than you might think.

This is really good. Chocked full of good everyday knowledge we should know.

[@emmanueldigenakis1168]

How do you prevent hardship? Its unfortunate that many people are born into it. Gambling, alcoholism, has a great impact on people's lives

[@srs.shashank]

Well said, people cannot be branded , people cannot be consistent and packaged like a branded product.

She is always talking about philantropy and helping others, but doesn't have any problem selling private information. Mind you Facebook doesn't need to do that to be wildly profitable, it can have tons of money by selling ads for keywords. So we are supposed to believe that this person never thinks of herself but finds herself at top positions and dating billionaires and selling our privacy for money. She teaches to "Lean in" but when the controversy broke loose she was nowhere to be found while she was directly responsible for advertising. She also one of the least scrutinized person of high status, she hardly gets any hard or challenging questions. She reminds me of Elizabeth Holmes.

[@toddvandell85]

@Tony Lots of anger there. You felt none of her pain? Can't bring yourself to empathize with her loss? Seems unfortunate that you can hate someone, that you don't even know personally, that hard. Consider being kinder? I feel she has great wisdom and insight. Why hate on her for what she has? Why be jealous of her success? Why the need to tear her down? Does her success bother you? Does it bother you that she is a successful woman? Or... Does it bother you that she's a woman at all, let alone a successful one? Would you have the equivalent amount of anger and hatred toward her if she was a guy? If she was male, I wonder if you wouldn't be saying "Way to go, dawg, I'm right there with you, bro"? I think what she was trying to suggest to people was: "Have a brand. Don't *BE* a brand." I feel that's pretty sage advice. You're certainly entitled not to agree with what she says, for whatever reason, but the amount of anger and fury that seemed to radiate from your post because you feel she has undeserved privilege? Seems deeply rooted in your own feelings of anger at maybe your own lack of privilege? Like, "how dare she be privileged". Consider being kinder. (Maybe hate less. You'll live longer.) I'm sorry that she offended you as much as she did, just by existing, it would seem. I'm sorry you couldn't enjoy any wisdom or insight she shared today. Sounds misogynistic of you. She's a woman. How dare she? Who does she think she is? If all you saw was her "undeserved privilege", then that makes me sad. I learned a lot from her wisdom. I'm sorry you couldn't let go of your hostility and resentment enough to learn something yourself. Your attitude reminds me of a former friend who hated women so much he refused to read women authors, because he felt they had nothing for him. Seems to me like that's similar to how you feel: "She's female, therefore she has nothing for me." Or, is it just her? Because she's successful, you just hate her? Or, because she's a woman you just hate her? Here's that thought again: Hate less. You'll live longer.

@@toddvandell85 I don't see what her loss has anything to do with the points i put forward. These are the things we know off and are able to judge as a public figure. She should get critical questions just as anyone else because of the importance of her job. The more people do an effort to be percieved as someone the more suspicious i get. Just let your good deeds accumulate and people respect and trust will take care of itself. Maybe i'm wrong but there are many red flags here.

[@rayne1668]

The first question was about her husband!!!! Really? If she were a man it wouldn’t have been…. Just sayin

[@emakoo01]

She is there to talk about a book she wrote about dealing with the sudden loss of her husband.

[@logger22]

I think Deathwish is the best

[@yasminkouzegari1]

you are not bad at everything, you are only bad at some points! which you can learn and improve...

Working for Facebook and talking about "making the world a better place" is kind of funny. And cynical. And then talking about the meaning of the word "friends", when the term "facebook-friends" is a metaphor for someone you don´t have any connection other than you see their vacation-pictures once in a while. Moreover, Facebook doesn´t do enough against fake news - isn´t transparent about the algorythms that are one of the big problems in our filter-bubble society. In the USA it is even more of a problem, just to mention the Trump-Election. Mighty Tech-Companies in this neoliberal age are a big problem but perform as if they had political solutions. Better read Audre Lorde or Bell Hooks and not Carol Sandberg. Just a new kind of Betty Friedan in a certain way.
