Description

" Rien n'est plus puissant qu'une idée dont le temps est venu. " Victor Hugo Saturés d'images violentes, confrontés à un monde en crise où semblent régner le plus souvent individualisme et cynisme, nous n'imaginons pas l'importance et la force de la bienveillance : le pouvoir de transformation positive qu'une véritable attitude altruiste peut avoir sur nos vies et, partant, sur la société tout entière. Moine bouddhiste depuis plus de quarante ans, Matthieu Ricard expérimente les vertus de l'altruisme au quotidien. Avec le sens de la pédagogie qui a fait son succès, l'auteur de Plaidoyer pour le bonheur nous démontre point par point que l'altruisme n'est ni une utopie ni un voeu pieux, mais une nécessité, voire une urgence. Et qu'il s'impose comme la solution à nos maux contemporains dans de plus en plus de domaines. Au carrefour de la philosophie, de la psychologie, des neurosciences, de l'économie, de l'écologie, ce livre est la somme d'années de recherches, de rencontres, d'expériences, d'observations et de réflexion. Lucide mais optimiste, un essai aussi passionnant que convaincant.
