Matthieu Ricard is a French author, photographer, translator, and Buddhist monk. With Sounds True,<\/span> he has joined with coauthors Christophe Andr\u00e9, a well-known French psychiatrist, and Swiss philosopher Alexandre Jollien to create two books: <\/span>In Search of Wisdom: A Monk, a Philosopher, and a Psychiatrist on What Matters Most<\/span><\/i> and, most recently, <\/span>Freedom for All of Us: A Monk, a Philosopher, and a Psychiatrist on Finding Inner Peace<\/span><\/i>. In this episode of<\/span> Insights at the Edge<\/span><\/i>, Tami Simon speaks with Matthieu about the path to inner freedom. They discuss the obstacles we encounter on the path, such as addiction or confusing our willpower with true freedom. Matthieu also explores what supports inner freedom, the nature of optimism, and the training we must go through. Finally, they move into the \u201charvest\u201d that comes from cultivating deep and lasting inner freedom.<\/span><\/p>\n
