Björn Natthiko Lindeblad (1961-2022) was a Swedish economist, Buddhist monk, and inspirational speaker. He earned a degree in economics from the Stockholm School of Economics and worked in finance and other fields before embarking on a spiritual journey that led him to Thailand where he ordained as a forest monk in the Thai forest tradition of Ajahn Chah, spending 17 years in monastic life. After returning to Sweden, Lindeblad became a popular public speaker, sharing his insights on mindfulness, compassion, and the importance of living authentically. He authored the bestselling memoir "I May Be Wrong," which reflects on his life experiences and philosophical teachings. He was diagnosed with ALS in 2018, and died by assisted suicide in 2022.
