Optimistic

So this is the guy you’d prefer to have 211.4 million followers on X and sending their advice to the UK – Rutger Bregman, historian, author and co-founder of The School for Moral Ambition. He’s a guy who’s optimistic about human potential and wants to tempt talented people away from b*llshit jobs to make the world a better place, by taking on the biggest problems of  our time. The reason I believe he might just do it is examples I’ve seen of his fearless but subtle undermining of those who spout negativity and seek division. He challenges not with acerbic words or anger but with facts, humour,  steadfastness and transparency, and a sense, I suspect, that those he opposes are just a bit silly. Ambitious idealists like him, should discover more about The School for Moral Ambition at rutgerbregman.com/sma, where you’re invited to take the step towards a career with positive impact.
