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.
I studied physiology at Harvard Medical School, nutrition at Tufts University School of Medicine, and hold an MBA from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I am the author of the best-selling book The Amazing Health Transformation and host of The Ritesh Bawri Show.
Today, I lead Nira Balance, a premium health optimization company serving driven individuals committed to genuine transformation. I write about the intersection of contemplative wisdom and contemporary science. And I share these insights with anyone willing to do the work.
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.
