Description: 80,000 Hours by Benjamin J. Todd Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This is the 2016 edition of the guide. The 2nd edition, published in 2023, can be found by searching 80,000 Hours on Amazon. The 2nd edition contains tons of updates and additional resources for planning a fulfilling career that does good. Find a fulfilling career that tackles the worlds most pressing problems, using this guide based on five years of research alongside academics at Oxford. You have about 80,000 hours in your career: 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, for 40 years. This means your choice of career is one of the most important decisions youll ever make. Make the right choices, and you can help solve some of the worlds most pressing problems, as well as have a more rewarding, interesting life. For such an important decision, however, theres surprisingly little good advice out there. Most career advice focuses on things like how to write a CV, and much of the rest is just (misleading) platitudes like "follow your passion". Most people we speak to dont even use career advice - they just speak to friends and try to figure it out for themselves. When it comes to helping others with your career the advice usually assumes you need to work as a teacher, doctor, charity worker, and so on, even though these paths might not be a good fit for you, and were not what the highest-impact people in history did. This guide is based on five years of research conducted alongside academics at the University of Oxford. It aims to help you find a career you enjoy, youre good at, and that tackles the worlds most pressing problems. It covers topics like: 1. What makes for a dream job, and why "follow your passion" can be misleading. 2. Why the most effective ways to make a difference arent always the obvious ones like working at a charity, or becoming a doctor. 3. How to compare global problems, like climate change and education, in terms of their scale and urgency. 4. How to discover and develop your strengths.Its also full of practical tips and tools. Youll come away with a plan to use your 80,000 hours in a way thats fulfilling and high impact. What people are saying "Based on evidence and good sense, not platitudes" - Steven Pinker, New York Times bestselling author Johnstone Family Professor of Psychology at Harvard University. "This incredible group is helping people have a greater social impact with their careers." - Sue Desmond-Hellmann, CEO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. "Every college grad should read this" - Tim Urban, creator of Wait But Why.
