Red Bull to Buddha

Feeling alienated and lost by how greed caused so much global suffering, David did the unthinkable when the economy crashed. He left a great job and bought a one-way ticket to Southeast Asia and India in search of wisdom-the essence of all religious traditions, foundation for real freedom and democracy, and the trait required for leadership in a world constantly being disrupted. Red Bull to Buddha is a story about how mindfulness creates hope, helps solve problems, and allows us to coexist together. Part spiritual autobiography and part cultural essays, it explores the tension between how innovation pushes civilization forward in disruptive bits and spurts, while the traditions and wisdom of our ancestors help us to form communities and restore balance.

As a former scholar of religion turned technology entrepreneur, David brings a unique and fresh perspective to the East-meets-West dialogue about spirituality, globalization, and the future. Although we cannot stop the rapid pace of innovation, we can make wise choices, starting with the choice to seek wisdom.
