John Otterbacher OtterbacherWhen John Otterbacher talks about living out beyond your fears, he is speaking from experience. He has lived a life of extension and adventure; years in a monastery, several motorcycle tours of American, a doctorate in clinical psychology, an eight-yar stint as a state representative and senator, a solo sail across the Atlantic. The heart attacks could have sidelined him, the grim prognosis. Instead of retiring to The couch, John spent a year rebuilding his health and the family sailboat, Grace. Then he and Barbara took their two youngest children on a six-year, 30,000 family odyssey that included 4 more Atlantic crossings. Their story, chronicled in his book, Sailing Grace, has been honored as Best New Non-fiction Book by the National Indie Excellence Awards and as a finalist for Best Book Award by USA Book News. John is a sought-after speaker on the role of attitude in resilience. He divides his time between consulting with clients and writing, most recently completing a travel memoir entitled What Remains.
