Personal GrowthLeadership

Option B

Sheryl Sandberg and Adam Grant

Sandberg wrote this with psychologist Adam Grant after her husband's sudden death, studying recovery from loss of every kind. Drawing on Seligman's research, they name three thought patterns that let a setback metastasize — personalization, pervasiveness, permanence — and argue that silence isolates a person far more than an imperfect acknowledgment. Book 3's Chapter 10 draws on this directly for its community-over-isolation pillar.
