Buddhist monk fits this article; most people like the GP (unless I read their message wrong) want the happiness (as they saw on youtube; never talked to any of course) but without the cost so they might assume that to become a Buddhist monk type of happy you just 'throw away all modern crap' and meditate and then you achieve it. Only to find out that that does nothing long term although it might alleviate short term stress.
