I like the book distribution idea, but would suggest using the updated 10th Anniversary edition of The Life You Can Save. While its focus on global poverty makes it narrower than Doing Good Better, it has several advantages:
I definitely think recommending the TLYCS podcast as a “this is a specific thing I really liked and am recommending” is a brilliant shout.

I like the book distribution idea, but would suggest using the updated 10th Anniversary edition of The Life You Can Save. While its focus on global poverty makes it narrower than Doing Good Better, it has several advantages:

Luckily, doing both is possible.
