I gifted the book to a student and got the following feedback:

"Hi Felix! Greetings from the Eifel! I hope you have a wonderful time between the years! I'm already past page 200! Your book is enormously helpful! Thank you for this gift! I'm working through it carefully. Much of it holds enormous potential! [...]" (translated with deepl)

I also gave the book to a colleague who's changing jobs (~50 years old) as a departing gift because of the tips on how to avoid being a 'noble loser' who sacrifices his impact because he cannot compromise.

I listened to the audiobook and liked it for the accurate reminder of the basic principles, but also for the broader perspective. I had never thought about the founder of AMF before. It was really interesting to learn more about the person behind the organisation.

Can recommend.

The Giving What We Can Pledge is a public commitment to donate at least 10% of your lifetime income [...].

You do not need to donate 10 % each year, you can donate 5 % one year and more on the others.

The pledge you took is still significant, you can be proud about taking and promoting it.

Really nice experience. :)

Thanks for the update. From what I have skimmed it looks really polished. I shared it with my local group. :)

Hi Janika,

welcome to the EA Forum.

Can you send me a link to some music you produced? Always interested in listening to new stuff. :)

Maybe the people of Artists of Impact have similar experiences.

What is your exposure of Effective Altruism and what are you interested in atm?

I also was not able to find it directly on the website.

You can have a look into the Shrimp Welfare Project (SWP), a new EA organization created through the Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Program 2021.

Andrés Jimenez Zorilla was also on the how I learned to love shrimp podcast.

 

Hi Claudia,
welcome to the EA Forum. :)

There are EA ops groups:
EA Operations Slack for those who are currently working at EA orgs already, or their Facebook group Effective Altruism Operations.

At the EAGx Berlin 2023 we had an operations meetup, I can ask if you want to connect with some of the organizer.

Here is also the Effective Altruism Singapore local chapter.

Good luck with your career path.
 

Hi Jordan,

@Ekaterina_Ilin studies stars and exoplanets at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam. Maybe this connection can help you with your research.
