I think you will(should) consider, but not be limited by, a disciplined approach to asking the important questions about the actual impact your engagement will have.

Like consumer purchases, we all have a choice in when/if/how we engage in philanthropy, donate to charity, or spend out time. We should always look for the best value, but sometimes we just want to do something that pleases us.

Many of the reviews mention that this book will take all the fun out of philanthropy. I hope that's not the case. Do good, but enjoy it! :)
