«Plaidoyer pour l'altruisme: La force de la bienveillance» is the philosophy and Buddhism essay by Matthieu Ricard, in paperback (1056 pages, in French).
Drawing on his experience as a Buddhist monk, Ricard combines philosophy, psychology, neuroscience and economics to defend altruism as an attitude with real effects on life and society.
