Author of The Invisible Hand: Business, Success & Spirituality, David Green, shares his experience of being on retreat and in silence for 300 days and delivers the first ever TED talk without speaking.
David Green has lived in Guernsey for 9 years. He started his career in the City of London in merchant banking and as a Eurobond trader before starting his niche finance business when he was 23 which was sold when he was 42. His stressful life s an entrepreneur changed profoundly after having a spiritual experience in his 30s and after meeting a 91 year old guru from India who taught him how to meditate and that material and spiritual success are inextricably interlinked.
He is author of The Invisible Hand: Business, Success & Spirituality and also writes for Huffington Post about Leadership, Meditation, Yoga and Health. He is an experienced Kriya Yoga practitioner and is involved with Hand in Hand a humanitarian charity that also runs an amazing school for disadvantaged children called Balashram in Odisha, India.
David has just returned from being in silence for 300 days on a solitary retreat without emails, world news and contact with friends and family.
