Better Than Good Enough

“It was a life that was narrow in its margins and seemingly under my control,” remembers John Gray. “It wasn’t exactly exciting or fulfilling, but I decided that it was good enough for me.”

After a breakup and a drinking habit sent him in a downward spiral, John decided that he needed something radical to shake him out of his “life avoidance stupor.” He signed up for a semester-long Outward Bound course that would take him from the Appalachians to the Everglades to Costa Rica–and change his outlook in a lasting way.

“I knew that good enough would never again be good enough.”
