The Life You Can Save: Acting Now to End World Poverty by Peter Singer

challenging hopeful inspiring reflective slow-paced

3.0

I like really don't know what to say about this book.

Like we had a love hate relationship. It was an essay... yes an essay and I now realise writing essays is way way way more interesting than reading essays. 

I've been trying to tackle this one for a while but due to recieving it for free in a bookstore I was determined to finish. Guys... I got there! 😝

Ok ok but like this book was SO educational and really really made me reconsider my view on the world. Even made me want to donate more a little or just be more helpful yk. Although motivational, some points raised were questionable and at times very utopian and/or goal orientated. Very idealistic.

I loved the content, didn't like reading this though. Very dry. 

Reminded me of reality instead of holding me in a suspension of disbelief like my fiction books do.

If you can handle non-fiction I strongly recommend this book!
It is free and also has a free audio book. FREE FREE FREE NO FEE FEE
