We wanted to let you know that there is now a reading group discussion guide for Zoe’s book, Most Good, Least Harm: A Simple Principle for a Better World and Meaningful Life.

Here are the first 4 questions, to give you a sneak peek:

1.    How do you feel about the concepts, information and suggestions you learned about in Most Good, Least Harm? How have they changed the way you look at the world? Which concepts or suggestions did you find yourself most drawn to? Which did you find most challenging?

2.    The primary premise of Most Good, Least Harm is that “When we do the most good and the least harm through our daily choices, our acts of citizenship, our communities, our work, our volunteerism, and our interactions, we create inner and outer peace.” What’s your reaction to this concept? Talk about a time when you have helped create inner and outer peace.

3.    In Key 1, “Live Your Epitaph,” Weil describes a future scenario in which a child asks you what role you played in helping create a humane world. What would you want your answer to be? How much have you thought about the impact of your life on other people? On the planet? On animals? On the future?

4.    Many books on sustainable, green or healthy living have focused on individual actions. Others focus on policy changes. Weil states that both are vital ingredients for real and lasting change. Do you share her perspective? Why or why not?

You can view the entire guide online, or download it as a PDF file.
