Rutger Bregman: How to Be Morally Ambitious
Descripción
“A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for.” - John A. Shedd Most of us like to think we know what we're living for. Rutger Bregman isn't convinced. The problem, as he sees it, isn't that people are selfish. It's that we've built a culture where playing it safe looks like ambition. We chase titles, salaries, and status not because any of it makes us happy, but because it's the path of least resistance. Bregman finds that depressing. More than that, he just finds it plain boring. Rutger is a historian and bestselling author who has spent years studying what he calls the "moral pioneers" of the past: the abolitionists, suffragettes, and civil rights leaders who reshaped our world. His new book, Moral Ambition [https://www.moralambition.org/book], and the organization he's built around it, draws on their firsthand accounts to ask two questions at once: what made those people willing to risk everything, and why do so many talented people today end up living smaller lives than they're capable of? At World Within, we think about power. Specifically, how to move it away from small groups of oligarchs, and toward communities who have the most at stake, and often the sharpest ideas. To that end, we dig into why good intentions aren't good enough, the “Bermuda Triangle of talent,” what social movements actually need to win, and how privilege can either fuel or quietly undermine the causes we care about. ----------- Learn more about World Within: www.worldwithin.org [https://www.worldwithin.org/] Find Rutger's Work: www.moralambition.org [https://www.moralambition.org/]
