EA Book+ Discussions: Infectious Generosity

​Join us for our next Book+ discussion, where we’ll dive into Infectious Generosity: The Ultimate Idea Worth Spreading by Chris Anderson. This inspiring book explores how small, deliberate acts of kindness—like paying for a stranger’s meal or volunteering locally—can spark widespread change and build stronger communities. It offers a contrast to the typical Effective Altruist approach, which focuses on maximising impact through evidence-based, strategic actions. Does prioritising small acts of kindness align with or challenge the principles of EA? Come share your thoughts and engage in a thoughtful discussion.

We understand that you might not have time to read the entire book, so we’ve curated a list of shorter resources for you to read, listen to, or watch as an alternative:
