Five Things #179

Every Tuesday I share five things I've liked and think you might like too. Here are this week’s Five Things…

  1. Peter Singer's influential book on addressing global poverty and effective charitable giving, The Life You Can Save, has been re-released for its 10 year anniversary. You can download the ebook or audiobook for free. The audiobook is very well done with chapters read by the likes of Stephen Fry, Kristen Bell and Michael Schur. It's quite the inspiring read — The Life You Can Save by Peter Singer

  2. And on a related note, GiveWell (mentioned several times in The Life You Can Save), are an amazing organisation that carries out research to establish the most effective charities. They have a list on their website of their currently top rated charities with links to donate — GiveWell

  3. Question (and answer) of the day — Why do Puffins have big beaks?

  4. This is a very good list by Anne-Laure Le Cunff — 30 life lessons I learned before turning 30

  5. It's that annoying time of year when ALL of the best films are released, so the next few weeks might contain a few film recommendations! Last week I saw Jojo Rabbit, directed and written by Taika Waititi, which was excellent. Pretty much everything Taika Waititi does is great. The highlight of the film was easily 12-year-old Roman Griffin Davis's acting. That kid can act! — Jojo Rabbit

That's all for this week. If you enjoyed it, sign up to my newsletter and you'll get the next one delivered to your inbox.
