Do You Think You Were Lucky?

laurissa mc farker's new book is about altruism, dugoters and extreme cases of people living their life almost entirely for the benefit of others. She spent years researching and interviewing her subjects to find out how they justify our suspicion of those who devote their lives to helping others. One of the things they believe is that it's necessary to be very rational in your giving. If you really want to help other people, you shouldn't do what most moves your in motion spontaneously. You should do what you think to be the most effective way of helping other people.
