HAVE WE FOUND OUR BETTER SELVES?: (WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM COVID-19) by Meril R. Smith

"... a manual for now and the future, providing intelligent, practical guidance for all concerned with the new lifestyle template that Covid has imposed."

- Barbara Bamberger Scott, The US Review of Books


HAVE WE FOUND OUR BETTER SELVES? is a follow-up to a "survival" book that was written during the first three months of the COVID-19 Pandemic. With over a year and a half of living with the COVID-19 virus and with the probability of COVID-19 finally being under control, this book helps all of us step back and take a look at how we have thought and acted during the months and months of pandemic. Ask yourself, "Am I just trying to forget the whole thing as if it were just a nightmare? Or, are there things I have learned about myself and my family that are important now and in the future? What new skills have I learned? Are there ways I think about and treat other people that have changed? Do I like myself better? Am I finding my better self? Am I also helping each person in my family find their better selves?


Meril's unique experience as a spacecraft controller during the moon landings, a student of history, an enjoyment of research, a good sense of humor, a wide variety of life experience, and a forty-year career in all levels of education, provides an excellent backdrop for Meril's informative and easy to read books.


Meril R. Smith grew up at the end of World War II with children of migrant farm workers, children born in the Japanese internment camps, and children of day laborers and blue-collarworkers. Poverty, recessions, and helping each other were all basic parts of surviving. Living through the times of the Berlin Wall, the Salk polio vaccine, economic recessions, the space race, the development of Silicon Valley, and the Vietnam War fueled Meril's passion for understanding people and events. His training, life experience, and career provides an excellent backdrop for writing HAVE WE FOUND OUR BETTER SELVES? (WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM COVID-19).
