From the Effective Altruism community

High impact decision framework:- Detailed article– Decision making tool
Brilliant framework to decide what to do next in life (developed based on solid evidence), even if high impact is not the main criteria.

World’s most pressing problems: solving these problems will likely have the highest positive impact.

Most effective charities: Givewell focuses on identifying charities that provide the most impact per dollar spent. It is very different from other charity evaluator that consider many financial metrics but not impact.

How to contribute to solving those problems. In particular, here is an excellent guide to high impact careers (also here). Highly recommended for people reaching FI and who want to make a real difference!

Even Wait-but-Why wrote an article on this!

High impact job board, for those who already have the necessary skills.

Sebastien’s own work

All of this is summarized with the FI community in mind in this article.
I believe the FI community can make a big difference, because we have the 4 FI superpowers and we have the perfect mindset to tackle those big challenges.

Here is the link to my Ikigai article.
