  • Simplicity is the key of happiness. This man lives like that - and me too! I had a very so called “rich“ life for 38 years, but I understood: RICH IS NOT WHO OWNS EVERYTHING. RICH IS WHO DOESN'T NEED IT...! I collected companies, materialistic things, had stress and got sick. So I gave all up and changed my life to a simple one. Now, after 30 years, I live on a beautiful beach on a beautiful island in a warm country with warm hearted people, replanting my own food, getting eggs from my chickens, eating fishes from the sea, learned instruments to play autodidacticly, also painting, and live from playing saxophone in summertime some hours. I live mobile in a horse trailer, after travelling on a boat for many years, together with lots of stray cats and dogs and I'm very happy.

    • And, from comparison, comes jealousy and greed... But, greed itself seems sometimes to come from somewhere else too. Well, in the end, reources management et social organisation starts to be necessary and it is when wrong ideas / influences start to take place if people charged (or self-proclamed as so) start controlling things for their very benefits instead of the group of people they should take care... Later, people will say that some are more valuable than others instead of valuing everyone, as everyone is different and does bring something useful to life, even where people think or expect it the less... I tsop her to keep things short, there is so much to be said if gloing don into details. But, Yes, we are making things over-complicated and very often in a more destructive way than we should, because of this comparison / competition problem that resonates with selfichness.....

Inner happiness comes from conscious living and a true feeling of thankfulness for each breath of fresh air, even as you take it. Live in honest thankfulness for your very existence and you'll soon grow an energetic buffer, the vibration of inner happiness.

    • What indirectly says is that the economical system we are working is not fair and is not in tune with how we used to live for the most of our history. What modern life did is cut our direct connection with the land and other people by dipending on the market. In the past our survival was depending on our direct relation to the land and other people which was called the tribe. So what he showed is that when he returned to that way of living he was working less and enjoying life more with less energy. The underlying question is why when you depend on the market you get a lot less for the same amount of work? My answer is that those that make the rules of the market get a lot more and someone has to lose. Those who lose are the working class and this truth was the argument for communism and we know how that project went. What he indirectly recommends is a return to our ancestors way of living.

  • I think some people are missing the point. I don't think he's saying everyone needs to physically build a house and grow your own food. What I do think he's expressing, is we need to stop trying to "keep up with the Joneses" and not let our society, fashion, peers or anyone else dictate to us how our lives should be lived. We get so caught up in this little ridiculous crap that we'll do things like work 12 hours a day at a job we hate, to come home to a place that has six bedrooms, marble bathrooms and a kitchen big enough to cook for a basketball team. And at the end of the day, it makes you miserable.

He has something that beats intelligence though, he has wisdom. With wisdom he has freed himself, and people are coming to him to learn and work for him. I just hope he doesn't create a new hierarchy of slaves.

They work very hard, the life is very simple but shorter than city dwellers. They sleep under old wooden traditional thai buildings. Medical is a problem. They drink underground water. They are 'poor' if you go there and see for yourself. But, it seems to me they are happier than city dwellers.

It can be helpful to focus on what you can control and try to find the positives in any situation, even if it may not be easy. Taking care of yourself and engaging in activities that you find enjoyable can also make life seem less overwhelming and more manageable.
