THE ANTIDOTE TO APATHY FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR RUTGER BREGMAN

'The Dutch historian who is making waves' Dan Snow, History Hits

The greatest waste of our time is the waste of talent. Our brightest minds, most skilled workers and most capable thinkers spend their days behind a desk sending emails in jobs that are at best dull and at worst actively harmful. The antidote to these various forms of wasted talent is moral ambition.

In Moral Ambition, bestselling author of Humankind Rutger Bregman crafts a manual for a better world, a guide to how everyone can dedicate their abilities to finding the best solutions to the world’s biggest problems. He challenges you to be on the right side of history before it is fashionable, follow in the footsteps of great resistance heroes and activists and become the kind of person that uses your talent for the greater good – not for earning big salaries, getting the corner office and composing emails.

This book won’t make your life easier, but it might make it more satisfying. You may wish you never picked it up because, when you’ve finished it, you will have to change your life. And in doing so, you’ll change the lives of everyone around you – for the better.
