Epically Emotional [ Or "Option B"]

I and CB  attended a launch of "Option B" - book written, and presented here in New Orleans, by Sheryl Sandberg - COO of Facebook. The audience comprised of around one thousand women and few men.

What was the most eventful part of this event was the Q and A session at the end of it. All the women poured out very personal hurtful stories into the public and very poor Sheryl -  all what she could answer was to repeatedly say "I am sorry",  "I'm sorry to hear it" and  "So sorry again". One woman threw-up, fainted, and ended up being carried out by paramedics.

OK - since that eventful event [May 09, 2017] I finished the book. "Option B" book project was meant to help Sheryl to overcome a grief after her husband passed away suddenly in 2015. She uses vast psychological research to, if to summarize in less than 140 characters, - to prove that all humans need a lot of support to become meaningful and happy people. It seems like Sheryl's husband David was a foundation and supporter of most of the things that Sheryl has done. Unfortunately, you will learn very little about dead David as book focuses on Sheryl's emotions most of the time.  I'd expect way more stories about David. I'm truly interested in what made him so strong and supportive of his wife. All I learnt was that he was a fan of poker game and had a very bad taste for movies : / -  "Sorry Sheryl - it does not do him Justice".

One of the conclusions I came after the event was that maybe we should try to look out beyond our own egos, For example, I loved the idea (by Australian Greens) of supporting people with disabilities on their way to become our leaders too.
