Das einfache Leben einfach leben | Christoph Trummer | TEDxBern

Christoph Trummer lives a simple life, and he lives it simply. On a long journey—partly in search of meaning—from Jerusalem to Nepal, Sri Lanka, and India, all his belongings were stolen in what was then Bombay. He speaks candidly about why this didn't faze him. Christoph Trummer is nearly 60 years old and has lived without possessions for about twenty years—instead, he lives in the greatest possible freedom. In the summer, he lives in a hut by a stream; in the winter, in a modest dwelling. He consistently rejects our performance-driven society and works only as much as necessary to cover his fixed expenses. This leaves him plenty of time to reflect on life and enjoy it. Christoph Trummer is nearly sixty years old and has been living without any possessions of any kind for about twenty years—instead, he lives in utmost freedom. In the summertime in a hut near a brook, in the cold season in a humble abode. He persistently refuses to participate in our performance-driven society and always just works as much as is necessary to be able to pay for the basics. By doing things his way, he is left with a lot of time on his hands to think about and enjoy life. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
