"Effective Altruism directs us to think carefully and systematically about the world's most pressing problems. This textbook explains how. It provides a wide-ranging and up-to-date account of how Effective Altruists seek to improve the world—and how you could, too." @RYChappell

“An outstanding introduction that explains the ideas behind the EA movement for those unfamiliar with it, while those who are already effective altruists can also learn from this book as I have done."

[Giving What We Can 🔸 @givingwhatwecan]

It’s not uncommon for a powerful book to make a big impact on someone’s life. But it’s especially notable when that book is your own.

Such was the case for Jacob Bauer, who has known about the principles of effective altruism for over a decade, and even teaches them to his philosophy students. Yet it wasn’t until he was in the thick of writing his book — Effective Altruism: An Introduction — that he moved from belief to action.

”After a decade of teaching, the book's research reaffirmed a truth I already understood: ten percent of my modest income can do immense good in the world, when directed toward high-impact charities. What was I waiting for?” - Jacob Bauer, author of Effective Altruism: An Introduction

Read how Jacob’s book research motivated him to take the 🔸 10% Pledge — and put any financial concerns into sharp perspective.

Effective altruism has gained traction and mobilized tens of billions of dollars, in part because of its popularity among some extremely wealthy donors. https://t.co/8wGNKGyURu

I was recently asked to write a short article explaining the effective altruism movement. It was published today via @ConversationUS! 😊https://t.co/WfeVe9Wm8C

I was honored to give the keynote address about @PeaceMuseumOhio for this amazing event last fall, where students from 6 different countries, from 5 continents gathered via Zoom to celebrate peace, learn about peacebuilding, and explore "places of peace"(the theme for the event)

On Saturday, we were proud to be a part of the #PeaceDay Summit at @standrewsms and impressed by the students from 6 countries who joined to discuss their “Places of Peace.” Thanks to former Peace Teacher Emily Philpott for organizing this outstanding event!
