Summary:
The notion that man is driven by ruthless self-interest has been around for generations. Now this idea is being challenged by new research in fields as diverse as political science, psychology, sociology, and economics. If altruism really is intrinsic in humans, is it possible to build a society and an economy structured around altruistic behavior? Matthieu Ricard plunges deep into the human mind to explore this movement, and find out what really drives people.
