Rutger Bregman: Moral Ambition and How to ACTUALLY Make the World a Better Place

We only get 4000 weeks on this earth. Why are so many of us wasting them? This week on Lavin Voices, we talk to Lavin Exclusive Speaker Rutger Bregman. Named “one of Europe’s most prominent young thinkers” by TED, Rutger is a New York Times bestselling author whose books (Moral Ambition, Humankind, and Utopia for Realists) have sold over 2 million copies and been translated into 46 languages. He has shared the stage with Yuval Noah Harari, been interviewed by Jon Stewart, gone viral at the World Economic Forum conference at Davos, and given a TED Talk which TED curator Chris Anderson named one of the 10 best of the year. Rutger is a warm, passionate keynote speaker who argues that we need more than good intentions to change the world. We need "moral ambition": the idealism of an activist and the ambition of an entrepreneur. And he can show us how to muster both in order to make real change. In this episode, you'll learn:

Why making the world "a little bit better" is the wrong goal—and what to aim for instead
How small groups of committed people can spark outsized movements
The counterintuitive truth about doing good (hint: it's not about being a good person)

In conversation with The Lavin Agency's founder and CEO, David Lavin, Rutger answers these questions and more:

How can ordinary people change the world?
Why do good people do nothing about injustice?
Is universal basic income a good idea?
What can you do if you hate your job?
How can you find meaningful work?
