Welcome to our book club, where we discover what makes a fulfilling and impactful career one chapter at a time. Whether you are a student or trainee just figuring yourself out, or a professional looking for something more meaningful, let’s think out loud together about our future plans! 80,000 hours is the time you’ll spend working during a typical full-time career, so we’d better put them to good use. 🙂
The book is in English; we can speak English or German depending on who attends. You can buy your own copy or listen to the free audiobook. Each chapter contains some questions and exercises to help you put the advice into practice. Together, we will discuss how we could apply it to our own lives, and try to give each other advice when needed. Each meeting only requires having read the one chapter we’re discussing – so feel free to join in anytime!
We’re meeting to discuss our thoughts on the second chapter of the book „80,000 Hours“, which explores a job’s potential to make a positive impact.
If you want, prepare your responses to these questions:
1. How would you define positive impact?
2. How important are moral goals to you compared to other personal, family, spiritual or artistic ones?
3. Do you face any conflicts in your career between positive impact, cultivating character and respecting the rights of others?
(You can still join without this preparation.)
