The classic word-of-mouth bestseller, completely revised and updated for the age of AIYou have about 80,000 hours in your career- 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, for 40 years. If you want a rewarding and interesting life that changes the world, your choice of career is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make. However, there's surprisingly little good advice out there. Most career advice focuses on CVs and offers misleading platitudes like 'follow your passion'. And it insists that if you want to do good you should become a teacher, doctor or a charity worker - even though the evidence suggests that the highest-impact people did nothing of the sort. A self-published word-of-mouth bestseller, this new edition of 80,000 Hours draws on a decade of research conducted at the University of Oxford to offer you the tools you need to find a career you enjoy, you're good at, and that tackles the world's most pressing problems.
