Altruism: Matthieu Ricard in Conversation with Richard Gere

Six years ago Matthieu Ricard, the French molecular biologist turned Buddhist monk, gave us Happiness, a bestseller that has helped millions lead more satisfied lives.

Now Ricard 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.
