brief_description
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. -- Trove
