After the sudden death of her husband, Sheryl Sandberg felt certain that she and her children would never feel pure joy again. 'I was in "the void,"' she writes, 'a vast emptiness that fills your heart and lungs and restricts your ability to think or even breathe.' Her friend Adam Grant, a psychologist at Wharton, told her there are concrete steps people can take to recover and rebound from life-shattering experiences. We are not born with a fixed amount of resilience. It is a muscle that everyone can build.

Después de la repentina muerte de su marido, Sheryl Sandberg creyó que ni ella ni sus hijos podrían volver a ser felices. «Estaba en "la nada"», escribe, «en un vacío inabarcable que inunda el corazón y los pulmones, y merma la capacidad para pensar e incluso para respirar.» Su amigo Adam Grant, psicólogo en Wharton, le explicó que hay unos pasos concretos que podemos dar para recuperarnos y reponernos de las experiencias que nos destrozan la vida. No nacemos con una cantidad determinada de resiliencia, sino que ésta es un músculo que todos podemos desarrollar.
