Description

If you had it all, what would you do?

At the age of 20, Daria felt he had everything and nothing. To outside observers, he had it all: a loving family, a beautiful girlfriend, materials riches, and a family business waiting for him to assume leadership, but there was a gnawing feeling that something was missing.  

When Daria’s friend dies at the age of 21, he is shaken at the roots. Witnessing death for the first time, he questions every aspect of life including the origins of suffering and happiness. He wonders why he is following the herd in a life-consuming race towards emptiness. Hungry for meaning, he leaves everything he’s ever known to expose himself to the reality of the world through his own experience.

His journey takes him on an expedition through the countryside of Mongolia, the coasts of Bali, the back-country snowboarding in Japan, and through India finding a prominent monk in Nepal who “freezes” him, shifting his understanding of the world around him. 

Daria makes no claims to be a saint or a revolutionary. He faces the same dilemmas that many of us face on a daily basis and through his mistakes gains a better understanding of who he is and how he wants to live his life. 

Roots of Gratitude presents an inspirational and captivating journey of a young man’s search for his true self. By sharing his experiences with readers he imparts courage to follow our hearts and to experience the world for ourselves, so that we may all find a way to our true (and grateful) selves.

Daria grew up in Tiburon, California where he attended private high school. At the age of 20, he graduated in 2008 from the University of Southern California in preparation to assume leadership of his father’s company. After a year of work, he realized that the rat race was not his passion and he sought to learn more about himself and his true interests. From the age of 16, Daria has been interested in the deeper questions in life and aspired to learn the essence of Buddhism. At the age of 22, he set out on an adventure that forever changed his life. He learned from experts about Aikido, yoga, and Buddhism. Authorities such as 8th dan instructor Isoyama Shihan imparted their knowledge of the truth of Aikido to Daria. He studied at the Sivananda ashram where the spirit and teachings of Sivananda remains. He met in Nepal with one of the foremost monks in the Nyingma lineage who personally imparted some deep Buddhist truths to Daria; truths that many spend years trying to grasp. Daria resides in Marin County, CA.
