Podcast appearances and mentions of Rutger Bregman

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? One person who thinks they have an answer is Rutger Bregman, a progressive historian famous for taking on the Davos billionaires. He joins Matt Frei on the latest episode of The Fourcast.

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.

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.

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. [43:37] Conclusion and gratitude for the insightful conversation. This is a public episode.

Schon vor vier Jahren argumentierte der niederländische Autor Rutger Bregman, der Mensch sei dem Menschen keinesfalls ein Wolf. "Im Grunde gut" hieß sein damaliges Buch. Jetzt hat er nachgelegt: "Moralische Ambition. Wie man aufhört sein Talent zu vergeuden, und etwas schafft, das wirklich zählt" ist soeben erschienen. Tom Kretschmer hat es gelesen / Ein eigenes Museum: Davon träumen wohl viele Künstlerinnen und Künstler, für fast alle bleibt es ein Traum. Doch was geschieht mit dem kunstvollen Lebenswerk all der anderen nach ihrem Tod? Stefan Mekiska über eine neu gegründete Institution in München / Ernst Grube wurde 1932 in München als Sohn einer Jüdin geboren. Den Holocaust hat er nur dank des mutigen Vaters überlebt, der sich weigerte, sich von seiner Frau scheiden zu lassen und ihre Internierung so lange hinauszögern konnte. Nach dem Krieg engagierte sich Grube in der Freien Deutschen Jugend und in der Kommunistischen Partei - und wurde deswegen strafrechtlich verfolgt. Jetzt erzählt ein Comicroman seine Lebensgeschichte. Niels Beintker stellt das Buch vor.

Luisteraars! Wat is Europeser dan het Songfestival en idealistischer dan Rutger Bregman? Juist, ja: Volt. De enige ‘pan-Europese partij' die meedoet met de Europese verkiezingen. Haar inzet: een federaal Europa, waarin we straks niet alleen op een Nederlandse afgevaardigde kunnen stemmen, maar op een Europeaan naar keuze! Wij, Robbie en Freddie, spreken de co-lijsttrekkers Reinier van Lanschot (34) en Anna Strolenberg (28), die niet alleen heel jong maar ook heel bevlogen zijn (dat ze met z'n tweeën zijn, is daar een voorbeeld van: geen toeval, maar een kwestie van principe – ze zijn voor eerlijke representatie van man en vrouw op de lijst). We spreken over de ontstaansgeschiedenis van Volt (een gekke Italiaan met een gek plan) en over Europa tussen droom en daad. Want, ook al is Volt pro-Europa, ze is ook kritisch op hoe Europa nu georganiseerd is: te weinig democratisch en te veel vanuit het nationale belang. Kan dat anders? En is dat nodig? Want is het niet juist ook de kracht van Europa dat ze niet voortdurend meewaait met de electorale wind van de dag? We spreken ook over Volts grootse plannen: van een basisinkomen voor iedere Europese burger (jawel) tot haar droom van een hogesnelheidstrein langs iedere Europese stad met meer dan honderdduizend inwoners. Klinkt fantastisch. Maar kan het ook? Of is dat toch een beetje peperduur wensdenken? Kortom, genoeg food for thought en voer voor discussie!

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?

That's according to Dutch historian Rutger Bregman, whose book "Humankind: A Hopeful History" was praised by our very own Daniel Pink for making a "bold, sweeping argument" — one you'll hear pieces of today — "[that] will make you rethink what you believe about society, democracy, and human nature itself." • Subscribe to Michael's newsletter • Download our app • Join our club (and use code DAILY for a special discount)
