Über den Autor
When John Otterbacker talks about 'living beyond your fears' he's speaking from experience. He grew up in the working class neighbourhoods of Michigan paying for his education via factory and construction jobs. He qualified as a Clinical Psychologist, set up his own practice, and became a firebrand senator campaigning on health issues. He and his wife took up sailing in the 1980s, taking a 15 month cruise to the Mediterranean and Caribbean. He is now a sought-after speaker.
