The obvious thing is to look for answers where you have none. But far more subtle (and difficult) is the need to look for answers where you already have some, but need to ask, "Am I letting a made-up map keep me from looking for a genuine one?” Learn more about How to be Perfect.

In this research, the writer emphasized on being "weird" is a great way to reframe your identity with his choice words "Overall, using the term “weird” before any identity category helped me gain greater agency, the quality of living life intentionally to achieve my goals, by freeing me from restrictions associated with socially-imposed identity labels. It allowed me to pick and choose what aspects of these labels best serve my own needs, and enable me to feel comfortable in my own skin. I hope some of you may resonate with being a “weird” American on 9/11 and use this strategy of identity management for your own benefit". Learn more about On Being a Weird American on 9/11.

"This research shows that One excellent technique is de-anchoring, where instead of going with your gut intuitive reaction - which you know is highly likely to be biased - you adjust your inner estimation based on research. For instance, if a police officer knows that black people are over three times as likely to experience police coercive force, she should think thrice before using force on someone who is black. On a higher level, police departments can institute policies where officers have to justify their use of force against black people with three times as much evidence. This approach based on research about how our brains actually work would help prevent the horrible tragedies that result from police racial profiling.

"This video about doing good with Giving Games helps people both save lives and learn about the most effective methods of doing so - without paying a penny! Participants in a Giving Game discuss several pre-selected charities, reflect on why and where they should donate, and then vote on which charity should get a donation of about $10 per participant. The donation is sponsored by an outside party, usually The Life You Can Save, which gives the money to the charity for which participants vote. Giving Games are thus great mechanisms for people to learn about and enact into life the practice of effective giving to help minimize suffering and advance global flourishing. For more about Giving Games, including how to set one up and how to support this project, visit: http://www.thelifeyoucansave.org/Givi... ""Watch this video for more details."

When it comes to effective giving we tend to argue about which of the organizations deserves our money for a better purpose, we often forget the goal which is to help the ones that are globally suffering to meet up with their needs. Instead of fighting about our common goal, why not reason intentionally putting the goal first as a priority which is to help the poor by giving effect because at the end of such arguments, time and effort is wasted and turned to naught.
