Deets: Six years ago he gave us Happiness, a bestseller that has helped millions lead more satisfied lives. Now Matthieu Ricard, the French molecular biologist turned Buddhist monk, returns with the groundbreaking Altruism, which shows that altruism is more than a lofty ideal—it’s a quality that resides within us all. And if we tap into it, we can change our world today. Draw fresh wisdom from the guru whose TED talk has been viewed nearly five million times when he joins Richard Gere—actor, activist and Buddhist—in conversation.

About the Book: 

Altruism is Matthieu Ricard’s new masterwork presenting a global vision based on decades personal experience and insight, a roadmap for the 21st century.

Ricard demonstrates how altruism is not an abstract ideal, but an essential dimension of our nature that everyone can cultivate. He explains how it is the vital thread that can answer the main challenges of our time: economic inequality, life satisfaction and environmental sustainability.
