The author's true, exciting and serendipitous journey through the wilds of Papua New Guinea, the Himalayas, around the planet and into the heart of life guaranteed to change the way you see the world.
is the award winning documentary describing the Gandhi-like efforts of one elderly New Zealand gardener, Peter Proctor, to transform agriculture in India.
150,000 Indian farmers have taken their lives since the mid-1990s as agrichemical giants like Monsanto of America and Syngenta of Switzerland have taken their livelihood. These seed behemoths control the genetically modified seed, effectively removing the ability of 60% of Indian farmers to support their families in their millennia-old traditional ways.
Enter Peter Proctor armed with a bucket and cow manure. One farmer at a time, he is giving back hope. Like Peter says, “Unless we have the right food, we can’t think properly.”
I invite you to view the trailer and purchase the video. You’ll be supporting the efforts of a modern day Gandhi, a humble octogenarian who is living the change he wants to see in the world, and coincidently transforming the lives of countless people.
“In Search of Simplicity is a unique and awe-inspiring way to re-visit and even answer some of the gnawing questions we all intrinsically have about the meaning of life and our true, individual purpose on the planet. I love this book.”
“In Search of Simplicity is one of those rare literary jewels with the ability to completely and simultaneously ingratiate itself into the mind, heart and soul of the reader.”
Hi Shafin,
Thanks for your very supportive comments. I look forward to hearing what you think of the book. I am writing now – the sequel. It takes time. But it is all worth it.
