Inhaltsangabe
The author of the international bestseller Happiness makes a passionate case for altruism -- and why we need it now more than ever.
In Happiness, Matthieu Ricard demonstrated that true happiness is not tied to fleeting moments or sensations, but is an enduring state of soul rooted in mindfulness and compassion for others. Now he turns his lens from the personal to the global, with a rousing argument that altruism -- genuine concern for the well-being of others -- could be the saving grace of the 21st century. It is, he believes, the vital thread that can answer the main challenges of our time: the economy in the short term, life satisfaction in the mid-term, and environment in the long term.
Ricard's message has been taken up by major economists and thinkers, including Dennis Snower, Amartya Sen, Joseph Stiglitz, and George Soros. Matthieu Ricard makes a robust and passionate case for cultivating altruistic love and compassion as the best means for simultaneously benefitting ourselves and our society. It's a fresh outlook on an ardent struggle -- and one that just might make the world a better place.

Anbieter: Bookbot, Prague, Tschechien
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verformung / umgeknickte Seiten; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveranderung. Apres ses best-sellers Le Moine et le Philosophe , Plaidoyer pour le bonheur et L'Art de la meditation , le grand livre de Matthieu Ricard sur l'altruisme : en cette periode de doutes tous azimuts, un sujet urgent, et qui nous concerne tous. Abreuves d'images violentes, confrontes a une societe en crise, on n'imagine pas la force de la bienveillance, le pouvoir de transformation positive qu'une veritable attitude altruiste peut avoir sur nos vies au plan individuel et, partant, sur la societe tout entiere. Moine bouddhiste depuis pres de quarante ans, Matthieu Ricard, lui, experimente les vertus de l'altruisme au quotidien. Au carrefour de la philosophie, de la psychologie, des neurosciences, de l'economie, de l'ecologie, son Plaidoyer pour l'altruisme est la somme d'annees de recherches, de lectures, d'experiences, d'observation et de reflexion. Avec le sens de la pedagogie qui le caracterise et toujours en s'appuyant sur des exemples tres concrets, l'auteur de Plaidoyer pour le bonheur demontre point par point que l'altruisme n'est ni une utopie ni un voeu pieux, mais une necessite, voire une urgence, dans notre monde de plus en plus interdependant a l'heure de la mondialisation. Un essai passionnant, inspire par un humanisme et une lucidite qui emportent l'adhesion. Artikel-Nr. 7e29ab4a-ef3e-43fa-a219-70023431849c
