Description & Specifications

From the ethicist whom the New Yorker calls "the most influential living philosopher," a new approach to living ethically. Peter Singer focuses on a new movement in which his ideas have played a crucial role: effective altruism. Effective altruism is based on the simple yet profound idea that a fully ethical life involves doing "the most good we can." Such a life requires an objective way of thinking about philanthropy: for an organization to be a worthy recipient of our support, it must prove that it will do more good with our money or time than other available options.

Singer introduces us to a multitude of remarkable people who are restructuring their lives according to these ideas and shows how an altruistic life often leads to greater personal satisfaction than living for ourselves. "The Most Good You Can Do" develops the challenges Singer has posed in the New York Times and Washington Post to those donors who prefer the arts and charities that focus on helping our fellow citizens, rather than those where we can do the most good.

Effective altruists expand our knowledge of the possibilities of a less selfish life and the use of logic, instead of emotion, to determine how we live. "The Most Good You Can Do" offers new hope for our ability to tackle the world's most pressing problems.
