Effective Altruism and a Radical New Way to Make a Difference

Summary: Most of us want to make a difference. We donate our time and money to charities and causes we deem worthy, choose careers we consider meaningful, and patronize businesses and buy products we believe make the world a better place. Unfortunately, we often base these decisions on assumptions and emotions rather than facts. As a result, even our best intentions often lead to ineffective, or even harmful, outcomes. How can we do better? The author, a former researcher at Oxford, has developed a philosophy he calls "effective altruism". This practical, data-driven approach is based on five key questions that help guide our altruistic decisions, thereby allowing each of us to make a tremendous difference regardless of our resources
