Are We Wasting Our Talent? with Rutger Bregman

from What Could Go Right? · host The Progress Network with Zachary Karabell and Emma Varvaloucas

Are we measuring success all wrong? Rutger Bregman seems to think so. Zachary and Emma welcome Rutger, a Dutch historian and journalist, and author of Moral Ambition: Stop Wasting Your Talent and Start Making a Difference. The founder of the School for Moral Ambition, Rutger challenges society’s flawed definition of success, stresses supportive and ambitious communities, and suggests how we can make a truly global impact. He highlights his own struggles with work-life balance and his pursuit of enthusiasm over exhaustion. What Could Go Right? is produced by The Progress Network and The Podglomerate.
