Description

"In our materialist society where it seems that cynicism and profit reign supreme, one idea is shaking up conventional thinking: Altruism has existed since the dawn of time, it's an essential factor of social living... and we can prove it scientifically. We are able to cultivate it, to promote a better society based on cooperation in order to face up to the challenges of our turbulent world. A diverse group of researchers are betting on it : primatologists, economists, neuroscientists, psychologists, doctors and... a geneticist who became a Buddhist monk."
