My World Reflections on My Life and Times

Ron Taft wrote many articles for academic journals during his career as a leading psychologist and academic. He has also written essays on a range of topics, including the history of members of his family. Now he has filled in the missing link — the story of his own life.

Beginning with “My Life,” his story has evolved into “My World,” with moving biographical sketches of three of the most important people in his life — his wife Ellen, his mother Olya, and his father Grisha — as well as a number of shorter vignettes about his life. Spanning ninety-five years, his story not only records a well-lived life but also provides a social history of the times.
