Adrift: Seventy-Six Days Lost at Sea

by Steven Callahan

To my mind, voyaging through wildernesses, be they full of woods or

waves, is essential to the growth and maturity of the human spirit. It is in the wilderness that you really learn who you are. It is in facing the challenges of the wilderness that the thickness of your wallet becomes irrelevant and your capabilities become the truer measure of your value.

We cannot grow without challenge. Challenges routinely produce crises that severely test us. However, crises also offer us the greatest opportunities.
