While attending the International Coach Federation Global Conference last week, I was honored to attend a key note speech given by Matthieu Ricard. Ricard is a Buddhist monk who lives at a Monastery in Nepal. Matthieu was born and raised in France and obtained a PhD in molecular genetics. After completing his doctoral thesis he decided to forsake his scientific career and concentrate on the practice of Tibetan Buddhism.

Matthieu spoke to us for about 2 hours explaining his work as a member of the Mind and Life Institute, which is devoted to meetings and collaborative research between scientists and Buddhist scholars and meditators.

His discussion on the benefits of meditation and his philosophy on life were truly inspiring. Matthieu is often referred to as the Happiest Man on Earth and after seeing him, I can see why.
