"Humans are more altruistic than one might think. Many of us want to have a positive impact on the world. We donate to charity, volunteer for a good cause, or choose a career to make a difference. Annual US donations sum to $500 billion-about 2% of GDP-and no less than 25% of Americans volunteer for a good cause. People make real altruistic sacrifices on a scale that's often underappreciated."--
Part 1: obstacles -- The norms of giving -- Neglecting the stakes -- Distant causes and nearsighted feelings -- Tough prioritizing -- Misconceptions about effectiveness -- Part 2: interventions -- Information, nudging, and incentives -- Finding the enthusiasts -- Fundamental value change -- Effective altruism for mortals.
