Effective Altruism is a social movement dedicated to finding ways you can best help others, whether through your charitable donations, career choices, or volunteer projects. EA Talks features presentations and discussions that can help you find something you're excited about. Lately, we've been focusing a lot on new opportunities in pandemic prevention, charity entrepreneurship, and AI safety. But we also have talks on other important topics like animal welfare, global health, nuclear security, climate change, and cause prioritization research. Most of the content is from EA Global videos, packaged for easy listening on the go. If you have feedback or would like to suggest an episode, please reach out.

Better, Not Perfect | Max H. Bazerman | EAGxBoston 22
This presentation is based on Max Bazerman’s book by the same name as the title of the talk (Harper Business, 2020): Every day, you make hundreds of decisions. They’re largely personal, but these choices have an ethical component as well; you value certain principles and ends over others. Better, Not Perfect provides a prescriptive roadmap on how to maximize the pleasure and minimize pain that you create. Melding philosophy and psychology, participants will leave this session with an audit of how they can achieve their maximum sustainable level of goodness.
