  Quick Book Review. As we enter a period of frequent holiday get-togethers, I strongly recommend reading Priya Parker’s The Art of Gathering. In it, Parker whisks you through the ways that you can make your gathering special. While hosting good gatherings for the utility they provide is likely not a top cause area, creating community around effective action seems indispensable. Plus, the book is available for five dollars on Amazon, so it seems likely to have massive upside ROI potential: https://​​www.amazon.com/​​Art-Gathering-How-Meet-Matters/​​dp/​​1594634920

  I’d strongly recommend Nudge, Thinking Fast and Slow, and Noise. They all fall in the same realm for me of being full of both fun psychology and practical applications.

  I couldn’t agree more. And yet… if the billions of farm animals could be engineered to have ridiculously high welfare levels, could that not overcome those very real concerns you point out? Has someone researched the welfare effects of the ancillary activities attached to farm animals?

  Wow, very helpful! They do seem to be doing just that. I will investigate them.
