Focusmate has changed a lot since this post was published; maybe invite links are disabled by now.

Glad you enjoy it!

Thank you for reading and reviewing the book for the rest of us!
Disappointed to hear it is close minded in regards to the political framework it comes from.
I do think there are many valid arguments to be made to criticize EA on its own terms and hope this is what the book set out to do.

• During EAG London 2021 @Emerson Spartz and I initiated a informal but successful "Complexity and EA" meetup. 
• @Michael Hinge wrote "Complexity Science, Economics and the Art of Zen" inspired by the meeting 
• We now have a Telegram Chat and Discord Server for people interested in the topic, please reach out if you want to get added. (Not posting the link to keep entry selective) ("ComplexitEA")

More than ever as far as I can tell 

People who like Logan's post on EA burnout will love Tyler Alterman's post on Effective altruism in the garden of ends. Both are close to my own experience.

Hey Jay,

Over the years, I have talked to many very successful and productive people, and most do, in fact, not work more than 20 productive hours per week. If you have a job with meetings and low-effort tasks in between, it's easy to get to 40 hours plus. Every independent worker who measures hours of real mental effort is more in the 4-5 hours per day range. People who say otherwise tend to lie and change their numbers if you pressure them to get into the detail of what "counts as work" to them. It's a marathon, and if you get into that range every day, you'll do well.

Thank you for putting this together!

Recommend the book "Sometimes Brilliant" about Larry Brilliant's life in this context! I read it with so much joy this year.

As mentioned in the article Effective Altruism as "nish kam karma yoga" [Larry Brilliant]

It's already been removed from the final selection for various other reasons. Mostly redundancy of the values promoted, which are already covered in other works that will be on the list!
