The one star reviews say it all. Well researched, and truly feel for her loss, but there is SO much privilege that this is hard to relate to or even find real. After her complicit role in the 2016 Election and Facebook’s knowledge of meddling, I find anything SS to say hypocritical as she’s not following any of her books or advice (admitting to and learning from failures). Go straight to the back of this book for her notes on more productive reading.
Having lost a spouse unexpectedly myself, I was curious as to whether I would agree with the author's "recommendations". Although the book is not a page-turner, I agreed whole heartedly with her approach/suggestions.
Very good, very helpful book. Hard topic to read about, but offers hope and great information about resilience.
Great advice, whether you are dealing with your own grief and loss or trying to help someone else navigate through their feelings.

I really enjoyed Lean In. Yes, Sheryl is privileged. I wasn't as critical with her first book on that subject. Here it's clear that some of those complaints hit her pretty hard because she apologizes for her privilege and wealth quite a bit. Almost too much.
This was a quick read and it was a good read for anyone who is trying to figure out the next steps after a major life change. The book is most interesting when it's about her own life and what she learned in her struggles - or in the struggles of Adam her co-author. It became a bit boring to me when it went on too much with psychological studies or stories about things that the author wasn't personally related to.
Overall, a helpful book. I'm glad I read it.

Appreciated the honesty of the author in her journey and the bits on raising resilient children. Beyond that, no real groundbreaking insights for me. Always good to be reminded of not taking life for granted and how you need to put your own oxygen mask on first.

Some useful ideas but the title could’ve been: “How to grieve when you’re a rich celebrity with a cushy job and ample social support.” Lots of name dropping.
A fast read. I liked this a lot. I could relate to a lot of it because of things I have been through recently.
Not sure why I decided to pick up this audiobook. I liked the content - but had expected it to be more memoir, less self-help. Still good.
