Doing Good Better

Required reading for anyone interested in charitable giving.

Glad that I got this book for free from Effective Altruism. Though I'm not directly involved with this movement, I will incorporate lessons from this book into picking my career moving forward and the Responsible Tech movement with All Tech is Human.

This book delivers exactly what you'd expect. An analytical approach to how to give, ways to give, how to think about the effect of what you give whether it be time or money and how to maximize that. I think it was helpful to shift my view when giving. I normally think about the sectors I am passionate about and used charity navigator to find highly rated non rip off charities in that sector and try to give what I can. While I may not change which sectors I want to give to I may look into giving to the more effective ones in those individual sectors.

This book really helps.
