DESCRIPTION:Many people live in extreme poverty\, and we would like to do 
 as much as we can to help them. However\, we might worry that making a sig
 nificant contribution to the fight against global poverty requires great p
 ersonal sacrifice. Andreas Mogensen (All Souls College\, Oxford) will revi
 ew empirical evidence on the relation between income\, giving\, and happin
 ess\, arguing that donating 10% of our income to those charities that most
  effectively aid the global poor is guaranteed to be less costly to our we
 llbeing than we expect\, and may even be better from a self-interested per
 spective than spending our money on ourselves. A talk for anyone intereste
 d in doing a great amount of good in their life.
