"We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change" - Sheryl Sandberg

The best books are almost always born in the darkest times of the writers. Sheryl Sandberg felt voided and thought that 'joy' was impossible for her children and herself after her husband's sudden death. Everything was dark until she met her friend Adam Grant who was a psychologist. You may have not felt the pain of losing someone you really love yet. However, the lessons of Option B can be applied to our day-to-day struggles and obstacles.

P.S. Aiming for perfection causes frustration at best and paralysis at worst. Stop procrastinating! This book might potentially change the way you live your life and the way you look at the things around you.
