Bharat escaped the hamster-wheel of modern society and the golden hand-cuffs of a corporate 6-figure job.
5 years ago he waived the conveniences and unnecessary necessities of the western world of names and things, to explore a richer lifestyle of self-realization with his wife and two boys.
Fiji, Iran, India, USA: Traveling and living off the grid, in tiny homes and in symbiosis with nature opened his worldview for adventures in the School Of Simple Living: hand-milking cows, growing grains, digging wells, homeschooling and meditating about the goal of life while turning bullshit into Gold - literally!
Bharat’s enthusiasm for Simple Living and High Thinking is incredibly infectious.

Dear Bharat, it was an honor for me to meet you at this TEDx Talk event. Your story and your words resonated deeply with me. Your story shows nicely that a brilliant mind, mixed with courage and grid are capable to change the destiny of a living, creating the foundation for a life more aligned with personal values and dreams. I wish you and your your family an extraordinary, peaceful life close to nature.

"Simple living, high thinking means to make life very simple. Plain living, minimize material necessities and at the same time the thinking should be very high". I really like this. This is what we are people missing and not focusing on, we always complicate things in our life and keep on chasing materialistic things and missing out the most important thing in life which is peace. This is an amazing speech where all people should listen and apply to their life. I'm really glad that Mr. Ben was my mentor and I learned so much from him. Great person! Hats off

Learning from Ben as a Project Manager has been an exceptional experience. His extensive expertise brings confidence in his feedback, while his inspiring approach to life adds a unique dimension to his teaching. Beyond imparting project management skills, Ben's emphasis on work-life balance and cherishing family time creates a holistic learning journey. Choosing Ben as your teacher means gaining not only valuable professional insights but also creating a mindset that has both career success and the joys of life.

This is more like setting aside, not being too entangled with established system (corporate world), getting of the grid and being more in touch with nature and humanly critical thinking on how to survive without the "system", making best use of what nature has to offer. This resulting in one gaining freedom, stress free, healthy life and enhance spiritual maturity. This is something I will be working on to achieve in this life. Simplifying the complicated with critical thinking.

It's always the number 1 important thing...to have a balanced life, and appreciate the smaller things. And to still think of your own wellbeing when everything wants your attention at the same time.

I truly enjoyed your talk on TEDx and I could connect totally with it as I have had somehow similar story through my life. At a certain time I realized I got disconnected from my root and who I was by flooding in work. I stopped my hamster wheel and focused on my health and reviving my soul by connecting to Nature (my GOD) and focusing on healthy lifestyle and food and sports. AND now I am truly enjoying my life by having a nice balance between my professional and private life.

Ben, I am grateful for having you lecture me during Brainnest course on project management. The course has really impacted and added more professional knowledge to my life. Again the philosophy of your simple living also thought me to focus more on the simple things of life that nourishes the body, mind and soul but more importantly to live our lives to the benefit of God Almighty. Thank you Ben.

I'm a minimalist lifestyle adept and I totally agree about having a "hungry for complication" mind... The "easiest" part of minimalist mindset is getting out off material things which haven't a true value for you. But, when we start the mental changing processes, converting "overthinking" reflections to "simple thinking" ones, we face our true most challenging adversary: ourselves.

This is straightforward in its depiction and provides a vital view of life outside of a 9-5, which is finding one's purpose whilst being at peace and still generating value.

@user-xt2oe1wq8w

Ben was a great lecturer who always thrived in believing in the best for people and always encouraged us to get the best from our work. It was a pleasure being a part of the course and I’m excited to see what the project management industry has in store for me in the future. Thanks again Ben!
