Download or read book Doing Good Better written by William MacAskill and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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—and sometimes downright harmful—outcomes. How can we do better? While a researcher at Oxford, trying to figure out which career would allow him to have the greatest impact, William MacAskill confronted this problem head on. He discovered that much of the potential for change was being squandered by lack of information, bad data, and our own prejudice. As an antidote, he and his colleagues developed effective altruism, a practical, data-driven approach that allows each of us to make a tremendous difference regardless of our resources. Effective altruists believe that it’s not enough to simply do good; we must do good better. At the core of this philosophy are five key questions that help guide our altruistic decisions: How many people benefit, and by how much? Is this the most effective thing I can do? Is this area neglected? What would have happened otherwise? What are the chances of success, and how good would success be? By applying these questions to real-life scenarios, MacAskill shows how many of our assumptions about doing good are misguided. For instance, he argues one can potentially save more lives by becoming a plastic surgeon rather than a heart surgeon; measuring overhead costs is an inaccurate gauge of a charity’s effectiveness; and, it generally doesn’t make sense for individuals to donate to disaster relief. MacAskill urges us to think differently, set aside biases, and use evidence and careful reasoning rather than act on impulse. When we do this—when we apply the head and the heart to each of our altruistic endeavors—we find that each of us has the power to do an astonishing amount of good.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Making decisions is something we do all the time. We decide what we’re going to wear for the day, what we’re going to eat and make so many other large and small decisions from moment to moment. Decision-making is how we survive, but just because we do already do it doesn’t necessarily mean we have the skills or fortitude to Make Better Decisions. Sound decisions that are aligned with our values, hopes, dreams, and aspirations require more than a rote response. What we fail to understand are the fundamentals of making the right decision for ourselves, and in some cases, those who depend on us for some of life’s most important decisions. Make Better Decisions provides a road map to shoring up our decision-making skills and helping us to follow a path that aligns with where we want to go. Without these crucial skills, we can inadvertently sabotage our efforts and create roadblocks to our success. Here is a sampling of what you’ll find in this book: · How to unlearn bad decision-making skills · Why it’s important to not make rash decisions · Creating realistic deadlines for yourself · How to create and weigh better options · When to see help from an outside source · How to put what you’ve learned into practice If you’re ready to take your decision-making skills to the next level, read Make Better Decisions today!

You can cover bruises, scars, and cuts, but hurt to the heart shows in various forms that are noticeable. Evangelist Joyce L. Carelock is known for her words of encouragement, wisdom and her passionate call to motivate others to do the will of God. By the mercies of God she has moved out in faith to help others identify and understand their God given abilities. She believes that God has her in this place for a time such as this.
