Christmas is approaching and we are entering the phase of love, kindness and altruism. But what is altruism? Put simply, it’s the wish that other people may be happy. And, says Matthieu Ricard, a happiness researcher and a Buddhist monk, altruism is also a great lens for making decisions, both for the short and long term, in work and in life.
In his talk, Matthieu will show us that we need more altruism not only to become more happy but to solve many (the big) problems in this world.
But: is altruism a cure for all? Can we solve big problems just being altruistic? How shall we deal with selfish people and what shall we do with terrorism? These are only a few of the questions we want to discuss after watching the talk. And in order to help us finding answers to all these questions we invited an expert in Buddhism to our event. With him, we will discuss about these questions after the talk (and hopefully find some answers).
