When we think of doing good, we often picture donations or volunteering. But Doing Good Better uncovers a deeper truth: your entire life can be a lever for positive change.
Start with your career. Some people choose high-earning jobs not for luxury, but to donate a large portion of their income to effective causes. Over a lifetime, this can mean hundreds of lives saved or entire communities transformed. Others pursue direct work, tackling urgent problems firsthand, or use their voices to advocate for policy changes that ripple through society.
Everyday choices matter, too. Voting, buying ethically, and supporting smart policies can shift the course of history. Even small actions, when multiplied, create waves of change.
The key is to align your time, talent, and resources with the causes that need them most. Use evidence, seek out neglected issues, and don’t underestimate the power of your example.
In a world filled with challenges, your life is a toolkit for good. Whether you’re at work, at home, or out in your community, you have more power than you think.
So ask yourself: How can I turn my everyday life into a force for good? The answer might surprise you.
