[Podcast interview] Will MacAskill on Doing Good Better

[Podcast interview] Will MacAskill on Doing Good Better

Listen to this interview on iTunes and access the full transcript here.

Will MacAskill is an Associate Professor in Philosophy at Lincoln College, Oxford as well as the cofounder of two non-profits: 80,000 Hours, and Giving What We Can. He’s also the author of a new book called Doing Good Better, which is a thought-provoking read that challenges us to be more thoughtful about what we contribute to the world so that we can have more impact with our time, with our money, with our resources.

In this conversation, Michael and Will discuss:

  • Why our giving may not be as effective as we would like it to be
  • The biases that cloud our judgment and the “Identifiable Victim Effect”
  • How to sort through and find out where you should be giving your money
  • Ways to increase your positive impact on the world
