The Compassion Mandate: Remaking The European Union's Leadership in Farmed Animal Welfare
For decades, the European Union set the world standard for protecting farmed animals. Today, that leadership has stalled, even though 84 percent of EU citizens say they want stronger protections for animals currently raised for food. The Compassion Mandate: Remaking the European Union's Leadership on Farmed Animal Welfare explains how Europe arrived at this turning point and what it must do to recover its role as a global leader.Political scientist Dr. Neil Dullaghan traces the long arc of EU farmed animal policy, from early pioneering reforms to the current era of delay and retreat. He shows how ambitious legislation, public opinion, and market trends briefly aligned to deliver major gains for animals, then fell out of sync. Drawing on original research, case studies, and public opinion data, he explains why broad voter support has not translated into sustained political action, and how institutional gridlock, trade rules, and industry lobbying have blocked change.
The High-Impact Professional’s Playbook: How To Turn Your Career, Income, and Influence into Doing Good
In The High-Impact Professional’s Playbook, Devon Fritz, co-founder of High Impact Professionals, lays out a clear and practical guide for turning a regular career into a force for outsized good. Through simple, powerful ideas such as importance, tractability, neglectedness, counterfactual impact, and diminishing marginal utility, the book shows how these concepts translate into real decisions about careers, donations, and projects. Each actionable chapter is punctuated by exercises that any reader can use immediately.Readers learn how to think about “impact” in concrete terms: saving and improving human and animal lives, rather than vague notions of doing good. The book surveys high-leverage cause areas such as global health, global development, animal welfare, mental health, biosecurity, and AI risk, and explains how to choose promising interventions and organizations instead of defaulting to familiar but low-leverage options.
