I thought, you know, maybe $20,000, $30,000 or something like that.
This is Josh Green.
You might remember him from a past episode of the Happiness Lab that we recorded last year.
Josh is a psychology professor at Harvard.
But he didn't come on the show just to talk about scientific studies.
Josh wanted your money and my money.
And wow, were we generous.
It was clear early on that he was going over a quarter of a million dollars.
I was like, oh my gosh, I was just absolutely blown away.
And it wasn't just like it was a bit more than I expected.
It's just stunning in the most delightful way.
Josh is a proponent of what's been called effective altruism.
He thinks each and every one of us should be trying to help and in some cases even save the lives of the people around us whenever we can.
And he's found that one of the best ways to do that is not just by donating money to charity.
but by making sure that every cent we donate counts.
That's why he set up a new website called givingmultiplier.org,
where you can give money to your favorite cause at the same time
as you donate to the most effective charities on the planet.
Ones where just a few of your dollars will stop someone from going blind or catching a deadly illness.
