Episode Notes
Mary’s mother needs a new kidney—as long as it doesn’t come from Mary. What’s a good daughter to do? With the clock ticking, Mary hears from Larissa MacFarquhar, author of a book on extreme altruism, to learn how to convince ourselves—and others—to do the most generous things.
Podcast production by Derek John.
