Get Happier, Help Others: Some Good Ideas About Giving

It's the season of giving: colorful paper and shiny bows, sure,
and charitable giving, too. In this special episode, Jacob
Goldstein, the host of What's Your Problem, gets smart about
donating.


Did you know that spending money on others makes you happier than
spending money on yourself? Or that altruistic nerds have
discovered four of the most impactful charities in the world (per
dollar spent)? Have you ever wondered how poker players think
about giving?


Dr. Laurie Santos from The Happiness Lab, Elie Hassenfeld of
GiveWell, and Nate Silver and Maria Konnikova from Risky Business
talk about how to maximize your giving – and why you’ll be happy
you did.
