Not Bad Ideas is Greyson Reid Koch's deeply explorative memoir of self-discovery-a journey with many companions as fellow travelers, traversing the path called Life. Each has played one's designated role in the author's life. It is through every interaction of myriad shades that the author has emerged-a more evolved being with realizations of the self, hitherto unexplored and hence, unfathomed.

With friendship of varied colors forming the base of every relationship, the author, a trans person, navigates the challenges where true friends become allies in his struggle of both self-acceptance of one's identity as well as being a part of the larger milieu. When the world is at loggerheads to diminish the entity of people who do not fit into the so-called norms set by society, it is friends who validate their worth. Their unwavering support provides the strength to face adversity and come out victorious.
