Most Good You Can Do: How Effective Altruism Is Changing Ideas about Living Ethically

Internationally renowned philosopher Peter Singer presents a
challenging new movement in the search for an ethical life, one that has
emerged from his work on some of the world’s most pressing problems.


Effective
altruism requires a rigorously unsentimental view of charitable giving:
a substantial proportion of our money, and time, should be donated to
the organisations that will do the most good with those resources,
rather than those that tug the heartstrings.


Singer introduces us
to an array of remarkable people who are restructuring their lives in
accordance with these ideas, and shows how, paradoxically, effective
altruism often leads to profound personal fulfilment.
