Was haben Bonnie Blue und Marina Abramović gemeinsam? Manche von euch kennen vielleicht Bonnie Blue. Eine Pornodarstellerin und erfolgreiche Influencerin auf OF, die sich in den letzten Wochen einen Ruf für extreme Stunts gemacht hat. Marina Abramović ist eine bekannte Performance Künstlerin, die ebenfalls mit extremen Stunts aufwächst. Beide stellen ihre Körper einer Menge von Menschen zur Verfügung. Zu was ist der Mensch fähig, wenn er jede Freiheit hat? Ist der Mensch grundsätzlich böse und ist heute alles schlimmer als früher? Wir sprechen darüber, ob es wirklich mit unserer Gesellschaft bergab geht oder ob es uns eigentlich gar nicht so schlecht geht.

Autor svetoznámych bestsellerov Rutger Bregman v knihe Morálna ambícia odhaľuje, ako svojimi konvenčnými definíciami úspechu poškodzujeme nielen sami seba, ale aj planétu. Zároveň však ponúka riešenie v podobe presmerovania našich osobných ambícií na činnosti so spoločenským prospechom. 

Joren Harmanny is oprichter van Groenpand, een bedrijf dat in heel Nederland klanten helpt om hun panden te verduurzamen. Van zonnepanelen tot warmtepompen en thuisbatterijen: alles is mogelijk.Joren was al met duurzaamheid bezig voor het 'hip' werd. Hij heeft zijn hele leven gewijd aan duurzaamheid en laat zien hoe je succesvol kunt ondernemen vanuit je idealen. Van een 90% omzetverlies tot sterker terugkomen. Deze aflevering zit vol ondernemerslessen. Drie dingen die je in deze aflevering leert:

Jacques and Jennifer discuss some ideas from Rutger Bregman's new book: Moral ambition: Stop wasting your talent and start making a difference.Two themes of interest are: (1) the social and communal nature of making meaningful change: it is not done by lone 'stars' but by people working collectively over time, and (2) the processes of making change are important, not just the end goal or outcome i.e. the 'relational' processes and how we treat each other along the way.Jennifer and Jacques challenge Bregman's under-rating of the importance of 'awareness raising' for creating change. They think it is more important than ever, given the dominant narratives that hide the truth about pervading injustice, inequality and oppression, not to mention rightwing saturation of social media with conspiracy theories and misinformation.ReferencesRutger Bregman (2025) Moral ambition: Stop wasting your talent and start making a difference, Bloomsbury Publishing.David Graeber (2018) Bullshit Jobs: The Rise of Pointless Work and What we can do about it.…Penguin BooksRutger Bregmans' panel and speech at the 2019 WEF Davos gathering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5LtFnmPruU Carole Cadwalladr, the journalist who broke the Cambridge Analytica-Facebook data breach scandal being interviewed on Jon Stewart's Daily Show: #DailyShow #JonStewart #CaroleCadwalladr3CR (inaugural) program on relationality: www.3cr.org.au/thinkagain/relationality-our-modus-vivendi

From climate change to poverty or infant mortality, the world is facing a lot of big problems. And the historian Rutger Bregman says you — yes, you — are the exact right person to solve them. Bregman makes the case to Matt Galloway that today's workforce should focus on “moral ambition” — channeling their entrepreneurial spirits toward social problems, rather than toiling in meaningless jobs

Er moet iets veranderen aan onze manier van leven. Maar waarom doen we het dan niet? Kunstenaar en programmamaker Lucas De Man schreef er een boek over. “We zitten niet alleen in een klimaatcrisis, maar vooral in een waardencrisis.” Deze aflevering in het kort: ☑️ Waarom het oude verhaal van winst en ego niet meer werkt ☑️ Verduurzamen van Tata Steel kost Nederland miljarden euro's ☑️ Herbewapening bedreigt klimaatdoelen We leven in een tijd vol crises - van klimaat tot mentaal welzijn - en steeds meer mensen vragen zich af: waar gaat het heen met de wereld? En belangrijker nog: wat kan ík doen? Lucas De Man zoekt in zijn nieuwste boek naar antwoorden op deze grote vragen. Hij pleit in zijn boek voor een andere kijk op vooruitgang en een ander toekomstverhaal. Volgens hem is het dominante verhaal van individualisme, efficiëntie en winst uitgewerkt. Luister ook: koraal in crisis: kunnen we het nog redden? Een term die hij in zijn boek beschrijft is eco-elitisme. Het is het verwijt dat duurzaamheid vooral een hobby of overtuiging is van hoogopgeleide, welgestelde mensen die zich zonnepanelen, elektrische auto's, biologische voeding of een CO2-compensatie kunnen permitteren. “Dat is op zich niet erg, maar het wordt wél een probleem als die groep vooral op zichzelf focust, kritiek uit op anderen en zich moreel verheven voelt”, aldus De Man. Zo is hij bijvoorbeeld erg kritisch op historicus Rutger Bregman. “Niet om zijn optimisme, maar om zijn stelligheid. Zijn waarheid is wéér een waarheid van bovenaf.” Volgens Lucas De Man hebben we geen nieuwe goeroes nodig, maar gedeelde verhalen die ontstaan vanuit diversiteit, twijfel en samenwerking. Luister ook: Kees Klomp pleit voor radicale herstart van de economie Harm windt zich intussen op over de nieuwe wapenwedloop in de wereld. Deze wereldwijde ontwikkeling noemt hij een grote bedreiging voor de klimaatdoelen. “Alleen al de herbewapening van de Navo zorgt voor 200 miljoen ton extra broeikasgassen per jaar. En elke dollar die naar wapens gaat, gaat niet naar een echte veilige toekomst”, aldus Harm. Hij refereert daarbij aan onderzoeker Ellie Kinney van het Conflict and Environment Observatory. Zij schreef een rapport dat werd aangehaald in The Guardian. “We investeren nu in militaire veiligheid, verhogen daardoor de wereldwijde uitstoot en verergeren de klimaatcrisis op de lange termijn.”

Dutch historian and author Rutger Bregman wants to start a new brain drain -- starve industries like finance and consulting from the world's genius by redirecting Harvard grads into "good work." His new book is Moral Ambition, and in it he pleads with those who have a bit of talent, a bit of smarts, to use it to solve social problems rather than create them. Jessa and Nico go through the recent history of Elites Solving Problems, from Effective Altruism to Christian Missionaries to the Nonprofit Grift. But also ask, why does everyone start squirming when you suggest that perhaps you should actually live by those lofty ideals you have?

This week's guest is best known for hijacking a panel at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting at Davos, where he told a room full of billionaires to stop avoiding taxes.

What if everything we've been told about having a successful career is wrong? Rutger Bregman thinks most of us are wasting our working lives and argues we should stop trying to get rich and start trying to solve the world's problems instead.

It's been said the best minds a generation are thinking about how to make people click on ads. Brilliant minds are going underused while big problems go unsolved says historian Rutger Bregman. He argues it's possible to build a life that's both ambitious and idealistic. He calls for a new definition of success, measured by impact, not income in his new book, Moral Ambition: Stop Wasting your Talent and Start Making a Difference.

The historian and writer is on a mission to get the best and brightest out of their lucrative jobs and into morally ambitious work.

We're told from a young age to achieve. Get good grades. Get into a good school. Get a good job. Be ambitious about earning a high salary or a high-status position. Some of us love this endless climb. But lots of us, at least once in our lives, find ourselves asking, "What's the point of all this ambition?"Historian and author Rutger Bregman doesn't think there is a point to that kind of ambition. Instead, he wants us to be morally ambitious, to measure the value of our achievements based on how much good we do, by how much we improve the world. In this episode, Bregman speaks with guest host Sigal Samuel about how to know if you're morally ambitious, the value of surrounding yourself with like-minded people, and how to make moral ambition fashionable.

Moral ambition is the will to make the world a wildly better place. To devote your career to the greatest challenges of our time. To be one of the best, but measured by a new standard of success.' – Rutger Bregman The brightest minds of our generation may dream of changing the world. But in reality most high achievers will settle for making a lot of money for themselves and their family. World renowned historian and bestselling author Rutger Bregman is on a mission to change that. In April, Bregman came to Intelligence Squared in venues across the UK to convince us that in our age of crisis, we need to stop wasting our talent in jobs that solely provide personal enrichment. Instead if we want to live a successful life we must devote our careers to making the world a radically better place. Bregman discussed why in 2025 social progress is not only stagnating in places but actively going in reverse. He argued that there are lessons from history that can help us overcome this trend and explain that the greatest change-makers have always needed to be both idealistic and ambitious. Drawing from his new book Moral Ambition: Stop Wasting Your Talent and Start Making a Difference, he discussed why efforts to ‘raise awareness' of social problems are overrated and uncover what he believes are the real qualities that have made change possible. He told the stories of some of history's great changemakers such as the German soldier who refused to salute Hitler or the Cambridge University student who dedicated his life to abolishing slavery. Bregman explained what made these changemakers so persuasive, influential and effective in achieving their goals. He showed how we, too, can lend our talents to the biggest challenges of our time. With moral ambition he argued, we can do more than be on the right side of history: we can start to make history itself. In addition to the book Rutger Bregman will be launching The School of Moral Ambition.

In this episode, we talk to Rutger Bregman. You might remember the Dutch historian and author from a 2019 appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, which went viral after he called out millionaires and billionaires for tax avoidance. He joins us to talk about everything from the loss of America's moral authority after the re-election of Donald Trump, to why we need more ordinary people speaking up and defending principles of human decency. This week's Good Weekend features an extract from Bregman’s new book, Moral Ambition, examining our monstrous and long-running cruelty to animals. Hosting the conversation – which also delves into the corrosiveness of misogynistic male influencers, as well as the role of “realistic idealism” in improving our society's moral trajectory – is Good Weekend acting editor Greg Callaghan.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When it comes time to choose a career, we're often told to follow our passions and optimize for things like title and salary. But rarely do we pause to consider the impact of our work and whether or not it actually matters. In a world where preventable tragedies occur every day, failing to consider the social impact of our careers is a missed opportunity – and perhaps a moral failing, too.  On this week's episode of Everyday Better, guest host Jessi Hempel talks with historian and bestselling author Rutger Bregman about his new book “Moral Ambition: How to Stop Wasting Your Talent and Start Making a Difference.” Rutger introduces his concept of “moral ambition,” which challenges readers to rethink what it means to success. Rutger makes the case that talented, privileged professionals must move beyond aiming for status, wealth and personal achievement and use their skills to address the world's most pressing problems.

We've been taught to chase fancy job titles and large salaries, but what if we aimed for moral ambition instead? In this week's episode of Hello Monday, host Jessi Hempel sits down with historian and best-selling author Rutger Bregman to explore moral ambition: the idea that the core metric of a successful career should be the positive impact we have on the world. Rutger's new book, Moral Ambition: How to Stop Wasting Your Talent and Start Making a Difference, calls on all of us to rethink what we're really working for. If you've ever felt like there should be more to your job than climbing the ladder, this conversation is for you. Jessi and Rutger dive into: What moral ambition is—and why we need more of it Why “follow your passion” is the wrong advice How to shift from success-driven to service-driven work Why young professionals are funneled into finance and consulting The real-world heroes solving the world's biggest problems How to build coalitions and collaborate for impact This episode is a call to action for anyone who wants to do good—and do it well. Join the conversation at Hello Monday Office Hours! We'll be live on the LinkedIn News page this Wednesday at 3PM EST. Bring your questions and your curiosity; we'd love to hear what moral ambition looks like for you.

Why does it so often feel like the more society claims to value a job, the slimier it is? Why are so many brilliant minds funneled into the tech industry, only to spend their days optimizing ad clicks instead of solving real societal problems? What if jobs were desirable not because of how much money they pull in, but because they made the world better a better place? Today, Adam sits down with Dutch historian Rutger Bregman—author of MORAL AMBITION: Stop Wasting Your Talent and Start Making a Difference—to explore how we can rethink work, purpose, and the pursuit of impact.

With the world still reeling from Donald Trump's tariffs, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has slashed the UK's growth forecast and says the global economy will see a "significant slowdown" - add to that, wars in Europe and the Middle East, climate change and the promise and peril of AI. So is it possible to find hope amongst this constant chorus of doom and gloom?

Wat verandert er als je niet langer je werk, maar je impact centraal zet? En wat is eigenlijk de rol van werk in het najagen van morele ambitie?We verkennen wat er nodig is om niet alleen bewust te zijn, maar ook in beweging te komen – op een manier die past bij wie je bent en wat je te bieden hebt. Want morele ambitie blijkt geen vastomlijnd pad, maar een oefening in kiezen, toewijden en koers houden.Benieuwd wat het jou kan brengen?

On this installment of “A Bit of Blue Sky,” host Bill Burke describes five books he recommends that will help listeners be more optimistic (and hopefully, fulfill their New Year's resolution to do so)!    Blue Sky Bookshelf: Link    Chapters:   00:00 Welcome to A Bit of Blue Sky Host Bill Burke introduces the podcast and its mission to inspire optimism through engaging discussions. He sets the stage for a conversation about books that can help listeners maintain their New Year's resolutions.  01:29 Factfulness: A New Perspective Bill discusses ‘Factfulness' by Hans Rosling, a book that challenges common misconceptions about the world and highlights the progress we've made. He emphasizes the importance of understanding facts to foster a more optimistic outlook.  03:56 The Enlightenment and Its Impact Next, Bill explores ‘Enlightenment Now' by Steven Pinker, which reflects on the values established during the European Enlightenment. He highlights how these values have contributed to a more peaceful and prosperous world.  05:31 Humankind: A Case for Optimism Bill introduces ‘Humankind' by Rutger Bregman, a book that argues for the inherent goodness of humanity. Through compelling examples, Bregman refutes the notion that humans are naturally violent and emphasizes cooperation.  06:49 The Rational Optimist: A Thoughtful Approach In this chapter, Bill revisits ‘The Rational Optimist' by Matt Ridley, discussing how free trade and cooperation have historically led to human progress. He advocates for a rational approach to optimism based on facts.  07:12 The Power of Kind Words Bill shares insights from ‘The Power of A Few Kind Words' by Tracy Gates, a book inspired by the author's father that encourages expressing appreciation through handwritten letters. This practice aims to uplift both the sender and the recipient.

I can't recall the last time I read a book in one sitting, but that's what happened with Moral Ambition by bestselling author Rutger Bregman. I read the German edition, though it's also available in Dutch. An English release is slated for May. The book opens with the statement: “The greatest waste of our times is the waste of talent.” From there, Bregman builds a compelling case for privileged individuals to leave their “bullshit jobs” and tackle the world's most pressing challenges. He weaves together narratives spanning historical movements like abolitionism, suffrage, and civil rights through to contemporary initiatives such as Against Malaria Foundation, Charity Entrepreneurship, LEEP, and the Shrimp Welfare Project. If you've been engaged with EA ideas, much of this will sound familiar, but I initially didn't expect to enjoy the book as much as I did. However, Bregman's skill as a storyteller and his knack for [...] --- First published: January 9th, 2025 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/ooK2FABokexBbXifJ/thoughts-on-moral-ambition-by-rutger-bregman --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO.

Een mooie baan in de haven van Antwerpen verruilen om te gaan strijden tegen de tabaksindustrie in Moldavië. Het is nogal een carrièreswitch, maar Joachim Verheyen deed het, onder leiding van de School for Moral Ambition van Rutger Bregman. Hoe kom je tot zo'n switch en hoe machtig is de tabaksindustrie, ook nu nog?  Presentator Hans van der Steeg gaat met hem in gesprek.

Welcome to the first full episode of the new season of the People Impact Podcast! We are so excited to start taking this deep dive into exploring toxicity in the workplace.  We are even more excited to welcome our new co-host Ann Betz!! Please join us in welcoming Ann to the podcast and share your thoughts on this new episode in the comments below.  In this episode Ann and Lisa share their personal experiences with toxic workplaces and toxic leadership. We also discuss the impact of toxicity on individuals, organizations, and the NERVOUS SYSTEM.  Most importantly we dive into paradox of how toxicity has become so ubiquitous in the workplace, and the importance of unraveling and understanding it in roder to start reversing its impact. Understanding Toxicity and Toxic Traits Using Dr. Ramani's CRAVED model we explain the constellation of traits associated with toxic behavior. One of the most difficult things in dealing with toxicity in the workplace is being able to discern what is actually toxic vs what is ”just an off day”. When you can better understand the constellation of the traits of toxicity you can better recognize the patterns of behavior that are having a toxic impact in the workplace. The Personality Trait vs Diagnosis We also highlight the significance of understanding toxic behavior as a constellation of personality traits, rather than a clinical diagnosis. It's easy to believe that what we're pointing at is a clinical diagnosis, but don't be fooled! What we are pointing to is actually much more subtel and insidious, and this is one of the many reasons why it's become to prevalent in modern workplaces. Toxicity doesn't need to be at a clinical level in order for it to be a problem and cause harm - to both you and your organization!  Impact on Workplace The presence of these toxic traits can lead to a negative impact on workplace dynamics, communication, and overall productivity. The impact and loss associated is huge - high turn over, quiet quitting, low motivation and engagement, and stagnation.  Addressing Toxic Behavior Some key strategies for recognizing and addressing toxic behavior: Creating Awareness: Educating employees about toxic behavior and its impact can create a more conscious and supportive work environment. Self-Reflection: Employees need time to reflect on their experiences and feelings in the workplace to identify any signs of toxic behavior. Open Communication: Encouraging communication and feedback to safe channels can help in identifying and addressing toxic behavior within the organization. But these feelings and experience must be taken seriously. We'll dive into more on this in a future episode.   Stay tuned for more insightful discussions on toxicity in the workplace and how to address these challenges effectively. Join us in the next episode as we delve deeper into the impact of toxic behavior on organizational culture and strategies for creating a more positive work environment.

We know teams serve as the cornerstone of any successful organization. Yet all too often, the relational and emotional aspects of teamwork end up sidelined in favor of performance metrics alone — which ironically doesn't always improve team performance. Recently, I was invited to share insights on this on the ATD Talent Development Leader podcast (sponsored by Randstad Risesmart) where I discussed the team habits approach to the nexus of performance and belonging. This was a conversation about what really matters to and on a team — why trust, belonging, and well-being aren't just nice-to-haves but are the essentials we need to have productivity and impact. What we see again and again is strong interpersonal bonds as the defining trait of high-performing teams. When there's psychological safety, and people feel connected and understood, teams come alive. On the flip side, the absence of these bonds can be just as damaging as their presence is powerful. Without trust and open communication, even the most skilled teams struggle to make progress.Throughout the conversation, I share practical strategies for embedding the eight essential team habits — guiding principles that any leader or team member can put into action. If you're looking to build a culture grounded in trust and purpose, I hope you'll find this episode helpful — as we continue the ongoing work of reinstating the human side of teamwork at the center of team performance. Topics We Explored* Why work is fundamentally about relationships, not just outputs * The evidence for high-performing teams being characterized by strong interpersonal bonds* How belonging and trust are essential for maintaining healthy team relationships and driving performance* Ways emotional and social components can be integrated into team decision-making, rather than just rational/strategic factors* Why large-scale change initiatives often fail due to top-down approaches that lack buy-in — and democratic, bottom-up change is more effective* That building an environment of trust and articulating a clear vision are critical leadership responsibilities * The reasons many individual contributors end up feeling disempowered and disconnected from improving team dynamics * Practical strategies for enhancing specific team habits that can lead to significant performance improvementsIf Productive Flourishing adds value to your inbox, consider upgrading to a paid or pro subscription to access to the full archive, monthly community coaching calls, and more.Episode Timestamps[00:00] Introduction to the ATD podcast. [01:24] Exploring the fundamental importance of relationships, not just outputs, in high-performing teams. Belonging and trust as essential glue for healthy team dynamics and performance.[06:02] Why there's a need to integrate emotional and social components, not just rational/strategic factors, into team decision-making. Avoiding the mistake of trying to extract these more human elements.[10:07] We discuss the high failure rates of top-down, under-resourced change initiatives, and I explain why a democratic, bottom-up change management that addresses team pain points and creates a sense of urgency works better. [16:43] Employee disengagement is a major challenge, which can best be addressed by making work more personal, relational, and empowering team members to improve their own circumstances.[19:32] Overview of the 8 key team habits (belonging, decision-making, goal-setting, planning, communication, collaboration, meetings, core habits) as a scorecard for high-performance teams.[28:13] Specific examples of enhancing team habits around meetings, such as reducing unnecessary updates and clarifying commitments for information-sharing.[34:54] Recognition that many individual contributors feel disempowered and disconnected from improving team dynamics. [35:47] Insights from Rutger Bregman's "Humankind" debunking myths about human nature, and how it relates to the need to emphasize relational elements in team habits.[41:44] Upcoming project focused on the importance of trust and vision in leadership, as key questions teams are always asking.[43:09] Invitation for listeners to connect.

Who could have believed it? On a cold, wet night in Westminster, Rishi Sunak stunned the nation with an unexpected announcement: a General Election for July 4th. Today's podcast couldn't be more timely as we dive into an in-depth analysis of the UK's political and economic landscape over the past 14 years. From the impacts of austerity and Brexit to the COVID-19 pandemic, we cover it all.Joined by Dr. Nicola Headlam, an expert in subnational economic policy development, we dissect the mismanagement of these crises, the deterioration of public services, and the widening inequality gap. This episode is essential listening for anyone invested in the UK's political and economic future. Our conversation critiques current government policies, highlighting the urgent need for a robust plan to tackle economic inequality, recapitalise the poor, and fundamentally shift the country's economic strategies. We advocate for a future government that prioritises progress over power and implements policies that genuinely benefit the population, countering the systemic challenges of years of poor governance.Timestamps:00:00 Opening Remarks00:21 Insights on UK's Economic Challenges00:45 The Banking Crisis and Long-term Effects05:03 Sunak's Leadership and Political Landscape06:39 The Impact of Austerity, Brexit, and COVID08:49 The Dire State of Public Services13:07 Economic Policies and Time for Change18:33 The Role of Local Government and Community in Recovery33:08 Addressing Inequality and the Future of UK34:42 Butler to the World: A Detailed List of Heterodox Economic Thinkers & Books for a Path Forward38:40 Reimagining UK's Economic and Social Policies53:50 Closing ThoughtsEnjoyed the podcast?
