Requirements: .ePUB reader, 6.8 Mb
Overview: A ridiculously in-depth guide to finding a fulfilling and impactful career in the age of AI
“This career guide is among the most thoughtful and grounded I’ve seen.”—Cal Newport, New York Times bestselling author of Slow Productivity
You have about 80,000 hours in your career: 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, for 40 years. This means your choice of career is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make.
Choose 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.
So 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 It’s surprisingly out-of-date, focusing on traditional paths rather than those most likely to thrive in an age of AI.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.
