Introduction

I’ve spent a good portion of my life watching people try to outrun themselves. They chase careers, lovers, crises, and occasionally enlightenment, as if salvation waits somewhere outside the boundaries of their own skin. I used to be one of them. Before I taught wilderness survival, before I ever thought of myself as any kind of mentor, and before I learned what it actually means to lead myself, I was an Olympic-level escapist. Not in the dramatic sense—I didn't disappear into mountain monasteries or fake my own death, though I won’t pretend those ideas didn’t cross my mind once or twice. My version of running was quieter: overworking, overthinking, and over-pleasing. I ran until I could no longer tell the difference between exhaustion and purpose.
