Quinn Mercer is a recovering optimizer. After years of building businesses (J.D., serial entrepreneur) and treating life like a system to be hacked, Quinn discovered that the most radical act might be learning when to stop optimizing. Now Quinn writes about the messy, non-linear reality of personal growth: setting boundaries without guilt, finding work that matters, building relationships that sustain us. Equal parts strategic thinker and reluctant philosopher. When not writing, Quinn is sailing, hitting the ski slopes, or walking the beach with two dogs and the person who makes it all worthwhile.
