Preguntas como ¿Por qué personas aparentemente racionales e inteligentes se portan destructivamente? y ¿Cómo pueden controlar las emociones que conducen a impulsos violentos? son los temas de este diálogo entre el Dalai Lama y un selecto grupo de eruditos budistas, psicólogos occidentales, neurocientíficos y filósofos, reunidos para dilucidar, comprender y combatir las emociones destructivas.… (more)
