2015 The Power Of Compassion: Change Yourself And The World

The Power Of Compassion: 
Change Yourself And The World

Matthieu Ricard is a Buddhist monk and public thinker whose powerful message has influenced major economists such as Dennis Snower, Amartya Sen, Joseph Stiglitz and George Soros. He has taken his simple, yet radical message to Davos and the United Nations, and now visits the RSA to make a robust case for cultivating altruistic love and compassion as the best means for benefiting society – and ourselves.
