Former Wall Street trader shares his tips to happier living after ditching his six figure salary for life of meditation and solitude at a Thai monastery

A former high-flying Wall Street trader ditched the tie for a backpack and found himself living amongst Thai monks.

Harrison Hidee, of Norwich, landed on Wall Street straight after university, raking in six figures and quickly climbing the corporate ladder.

The 28-year-old spent most of his time in the office or entertaining clients until the earlier hours, and would even come into work the next day 'wearing the same clothes'.

After four years in the wolf pit, he realised the lifestyle wasn't for him and, two years later, finally hung up the suit for good to go travelling.
