Episode description as stored
DO GOOD ALL THE TIME.
Some people have an idea of giving that is not sustainable.
You can’t self-sacrifice endlessly to help others. You also have to take care of yourself.
Giving can be a win/win situation.
In fact, it should be.
Helping the world is only worth it if you are also helping yourself.
For this Five Minute Friday, I revisited a conversation I had with Will Macaskill where he shared this idea as one of his principles of effective altruism.
William MacAskill is a philosopher, ethicist, and one of the originators of the effective altruism movement. He is an Associate Professor in Philosophy and Research Fellow at the Global Priorities Institute, University of Oxford. He is also the co-founder and president of 80,000 Hours, the co-founder and vice-president of Giving What We Can, and the co-founder of the Centre for Effective Altruism.
