There are so many unknowns right now. On top of that, on social media you’ll see there are so many experts in communicable diseases who have never taken a biology class, let alone a public health class. Many are worrying and wrought with fear. So many social media experts are quick to play the blame game. The COOR Wellness recommendation is to first relax. Then, read and write out your plans on paper or a digital document. But more than anything, try to relax. For those who need specific recommendations, here are the COOR Wellness 3 Best Books to Survive COVID19.
The QBQ!
Everyone pause. Then, remind yourself that you can only control certain things. Things that are outside your control, you have no say over. So please remember, you can only control yourself.
There is no better guide to get through COVID19 challenges than the quick, fun and easy to read: The QBQ!
Denver, Colorado based author John G Miller is excellent at using humor, story and actionable items that every reader of The QBQ! can use right now.
The premise of The QBQ! is this: in every challenge, you must look forward (not excessively analyze the past) and ask yourself rhetorical questions like:
- What must I do to stay positive during these times?
- How can I support others during these challenging times?
- What can I do to stop the spread of COVID19?
- How can I discourage needless hoarding? (Click HERE for our suggestions)
- What actions can I take to support the Colorado economy during and after COVID19?
All of these questions are about yourself, include an action and are forecasted forward, not backwards. The result when these are executed is groups of people take personal accountability and responsibility for their actions, regardless of the challenge.

The Eagle and The Dragon: A Story of Strength and Reinvention
Autobiographies are great when you need to get out of your own scenario. People only write them (for the most part) when they’re worth the time and energy to read them.
Right now, we believe people will benefit hearing what it takes to overcome obstacles. World Record holder Chris Duffin is an amazing person who has overcome many obstacles. Duffin grew up in a mixed family often living without basic utilities that Americans take for granted. He worked hard to find his way through college and learned to navigate the corporate world successfully. Furthermore, Duffin gives every endeavor his full effort and is generous with the causes he supports.
Reading his biography during these times will inspire readers to appreciate what they have and adapt to the changes around them WHILE sticking to your strong held beliefs and morals.

Man’s Search for Meaning
Yes we’re going through challenges right now. We’re faced with uncertainties health wise and with the economy. But in comparison to what Holocaust survivors saw and witnessed, COVID19 shouldn’t be an issue.
Viktor Frankl’s famous book about his experience surviving the Holocaust is a quick and easy read to remind us what matters most is our response to adversity. While The QBQ! is a behavior based way of planning your actions, Frankl’s book is more about our attitude. This is an important complement to The QBQ!
