East meets west in a father-son dialogue.
The most groundbreaking meeting of Eastern philosophy and Western culture to date.
Revel, an agnostic, noted for his tough inquiring mind, raised Ricard to be familiar with all of Western philosophy.Ricard then went on to win high honours for his Ph.D in molecular genetics, working with a Nobel laureate at the Institute Pasteur. Unsatisfied, he left his high-flying academic career to study Tibetan Buddhism in India. Twenty-five years later, now a monk, Ricard returns to discuss all the great questions (the meaning of life, death, suffering) with his philosopher father. The resulting conversation is brilliant, accessible and the most eloquent meeting yet of Eastern and Western thought.
