began, John Otterbacher had already lived a lifetime of extension and adventure: marathons and triathlons, years in a monastery, a motorcycle tour of America, a doctorate in clinical psychology, an eight-year stint as a state representative and senator, a solo sail across the Atlantic.\u00a0 After multiple surgical interventions, the challenge was simply to survive.\u00a0 Survive he did, taking a six-year sail with Barbara and their youngest children, chronicled in his award-winning book, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/johnotterbacher.com\/books\/\">Sailing Grace<\/a><\/em>.<\/p><p>John\u2019s latest book,\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/johnotterbacher.com\/books\/\">What Remains<\/a><\/em>, is an old man\u2019s first-person, present-tense account of touring backroad America by motorcycle, a journey which deepens his affection for people as they are and re-ignites his sense of adventure about aging itself.<\/p><p>John\u2019s books and speaking are less about dying than living, about finding the adventure in even the most difficult circumstances.\u00a0 Out of personal adversity and years of experience as a psychologist, he fashions a message of hope, perseverance, and love.\u00a0 He confronts life\u2019s realities \u2013 the limits of control, the bankruptcy of victimhood, the power of attitude \u2013 with a blend of forthrightness and humor one news commentator described as
