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.
“Altruism” is a careful, detailed, hard-nosed assessment of what is needed both for individual happiness and for the welfare of the planet. This book is so rich, so diverse and, it is best kept as an inspiring resource to be consulted over many years.”—Wall Street Journal
