This means your choice of career is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChoose well, and you can have a more rewarding life, discover new interests, and help solve some of the world’s most pressing problems. Choose poorly, and you could waste decades.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo what should you do? Most modern advice is based on no research, instead offering misleading platitudes like \"follow your passion.\" It's surprisingly out-of-date, focusing on traditional paths rather than those most likely to thrive in an age of AI. If you want to help others, you're often simply told to choose a career in medicine or education, despite the existence of many other paths where you can also save lives. In fact, some careers have hundreds of times more impact than others, but most of us have no idea which ones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBenjamin Todd is the founder of 80,000 Hours, a nonprofit that has spent more than ten years researching how to have a meaningful and impactful career that still pays the bills. In this book, he introduces a tried-and-tested toolkit that has already helped thousands of people change their career paths.
