About
Like you, I sought happiness. I accumulated degrees, titles, and achievements. Yet something remained elusive—a stability that didn't depend on circumstances.
This search led me through 700+ books and 6,000+ research papers, from the Pali Canon to cutting-edge neuroscience. I discovered that what ancient practitioners called upekkhā—equanimity—is not a mystical state but a trainable capacity with measurable neural correlates.
Today, I lead Nira Balance, a premium health optimization company serving ultra-high-net-worth individuals. I write about the intersection of contemplative wisdom and contemporary science. And I share these insights with anyone willing to do the work of genuine transformation.
I believe the next frontier of human development isn't more productivity or optimization— it's the capacity to remain composed, clear, and genuinely content regardless of what life presents. This is what I call the science of equanimity.
