The famous Hollywood actor Richard Gere has been engaged in the search for happiness as a way of fighting internal storms and finding balance. The Pretty Woman star and Golden Globe winner was a student of philosophy before becoming an actor, which led him to discover Buddhism. Gere has devoted his life to meditation and is a well-known activist for human rights. He has defined the conquest of happiness as a daily struggle in which you have to use your heart and mind.
