When the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world there was panic everywhere. No one seemed to know what to do and even the mighty Western powers were gravely humbled. The world was faced with a crisis and address it as such. Everyone was thrown into panic mode and grappled to adapt to the unexpected wave of change and try to save as many lives as possible. This book has been written to alert the reader on a proper response to a crisis, that would lead to victory. To paraphrase the author: “For a new life to begin, the mother goes through a time of crisis. The labour pains are a form of crisis in a way. So, the same applies to this pandemic… A proper response to this crisis will lead to a new life being born; the mother should push the baby out, there has to be assistance by experts, and the environmen­t should be a conducive one. Responding with panic and uncertaint­y by the mother and those who are supposed to help can lead to loss of life. So, responding properly to any crisis, including the COVID-19 crisis would definitely lead to better things after the pandemic is gone.”

Coming out of crisis is a timely book that gives motivation and helps chart a way forward because in soul draining times, we all need motivation. This book helps the reader to look at the current life challenges with a different perspectiv­e. And while everyone has in a way been affected by the Covid19 pandemic, the effects spiral into all spheres of our lives, financial, social, career, and business but the book helps the reader find ways to pick up the pieces and build themselves up towards a great future.
