In May and June, Matthieu Ricard was in the UK and the USA (San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington DC, and New York City) for a series of talks and discussions to launch the English translation of his blockbuster book, Altruism.
The tour was a tremendous success with sold-out events, podcasts, extended visits to Silicon Valley, press coverage, and crowded book-signings.
