520    "Turns out much of the advice we've been given about how 
       to make the world a better place turns out to be dead 
       wrong. Donating to certain charities will do thousands of 
       times more good that donating to others. Non-profits that 
       choose to carry out one program instead of another will be
       hundreds of times less successful than they could be, 
       regardless of how bright, hard-working, and compassionate 
       their staff may be.The majority of Americans are involved 
       in charitable work. Most of us donate. Many of us 
       volunteer. Millions go to work each day at a non-profit 
       organization. By taking a more rigorous, calculated 
       approach to charity, we can learn how to do dramatically 
       more good. We can learn how to truly change the world.This
       book shows you how. Drawing on fifteen years of non-profit
       experience, a working knowledge of thousands of academic 
       studies on what drives charitable and behavioral decisions,
       interviews with non-profit and philanthropy professionals,
       and years of reading, writing, and lecturing on how to 
       effectively bring about social change.The first book to 
       address how a whole host of psychological and social 
       factors combine to drive us toward making bad charitable 
       decisions, its unique content and frank approach will help
       it stand out in the field of non-profit and philanthropy 
       books. "--|cProvided by publisher
