Moral ambition

The average working career spans approximately two thousand working weeks, so choosing the activity we spend this time on is one of the most important decisions of our lives. Although we are aware of this, millions of people remain stuck in boring, meaningless or harmful jobs. There is an antidote to this waste of talent: moral ambition. This book is about a movement of pioneers who are determined to be among the best, but according to different measures of success than those usually recognised. What matters here is not so much an astronomical salary, a prestigious title or a spacious office, but rather whether their work contributes to the best solutions for the world's biggest problems. The book is a guide on how you too can embark on the path of moral ambition. The publication of this book was supported by the Dutch Foundation for Literature
