There's wisdom here for all of us on how to live more minimally, sustainably and in harmony with Mother Nature.

This dad took his son to Mongolia just to get him off his phone

How do you get a teen to put down their phone and talk to you? Jamie Clarke went all the way to Mongolia to find out.

Riding through a remote valley in Mongolia on the back of his motorbike, adventurer Jamie Clarke let the hum of the engine and the wind echo in his mind while his thoughts wandered.

After several hours, he pulled over to shake off his helmet and take a look at the map.

This was what he loved about adventuring - the solitude, the landscape and the feeling of being in charge of your own destiny.

But when his 18-year-old son pulled up right behind him on his own motorcycle, he had a different take on the long ride they had just finished.

For him, being alone in his thoughts was novel and unsettling.

"Oh my God, that was terrible! I can't be left with my brain like that!"
