Sheryl Sandberg - Facebook COO, ranked eighth on Fortune's list of the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business - has become one of America's most galvanizing leaders, and an icon for millions of women juggling work and family. In Lean In, she urges women to take risks and seek new challenges, to find work that they love, and to remain passionately engaged with it at the highest levels throughout their lives.

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.

The New York Times best-selling author examines how people can drive creative, moral and organisational progress - and how leaders can encourage originality in their organisations. How can we originate new ideas, policies and practices without risking it all? Adam Grant shows how to improve the world by championing novel ideas and values that go against the grain, battling conformity and bucking outdated traditions.

Uncover the methods of megastars like Oprah Winfrey, Earvin "Magic" Johnson, and Sir Richard Branson, who make the world a better place through purposeful - and highly successful - business strategies. The stellar authorial team shares in candid detail the setbacks and achievements they experienced building successful enterprises and charities - with purpose.   

Après le décès soudain de son mari, Sheryl Sandberg était certaine que ni elle ni ses enfants ne pourraient de nouveau être heureux. "J'étais dans un 'néant', écrit-elle, un vide abyssal qui envahit votre cœur et vos poumons puis limite votre capacité à penser et même à respirer." Son ami Adam Grant, psychologue à Wharton, lui a expliqué qu'après un traumatisme nous traversons des étapes pour s'en remettre et renaître. La résilience n'est pas innée : c'est un muscle que tout le monde peut développer.
