The Power Of Compassion: Matthieu Ricardo

Matthieu Ricard, a Buddhist monk and public thinker, advocates cultivating altruistic love and compassion to address key challenges: short-term economic stability, mid-term life satisfaction, and long-term environmental sustainability. His radical yet simple message has influenced economists like Amartya Sen and Joseph Stiglitz, and he has shared it at Davos and the United Nations.

Ricard asserts this ancient wisdom benefits both society and individuals. Despite its simplicity, the text questions why implementing this solution to our 21st-century predicaments proves so challenging.
