80,000 Hours
A ridiculously in-depth guide to finding a fulfilling and impactful career in an age of AI.
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 the most important decision you'll ever make.
Choose well, and you can have a more rewarding, interesting life, and also help solve some of the world's most pressing problems. Choose poorly, and you could waste decades.
So what should you do? Most 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 It's surprisingly out of date, focusing on traditional paths rather than those most likely to thrive in an age of AI.
And if you want to help others, the advice is even more simplistic: telling you to choose careers like nurse or doctor, when there are paths in which almost anyone can save more lives. In fact, some careers have hundreds of times more impact than others, but most of us have no idea which ones.
Benjamin Todd is the founder of 80,000 Hours, a non-profit that's spent over ten years researching how to have a meaningful and impactful career. Here he introduces a tried-and-tested framework that has already led thousands of people to change their path. It covers:
What really makes for a dream job, and why finding it probably doesn't involve 'following your passion'.
How to identify which global problems are most pressing, and why they might involve AI as much as climate change.
Which roles are likely to be automated, and how to ensure yours isn't among them.
It's also full of practical tips and tools. You'll come away with a plan to use your 80,000 hours in a way that's rewarding and fulfils your potential to make a difference.
Tehran Diaries : Dispatches from Iran under Siege
Over Iran, the sky is falling in. The US-Israeli bombardment has begun: there are bodies beneath the rubble. The Ayatollah is dead. The guards have abandoned the prisons. The rain is black with fuel; it burns the skin and the streets.
In this searing and contemplative work, writer, academic and Tehran resident Raha Nik-Andish documents life in the Islamic Republic in the days and months leading up to "Operation Epic Fury." In a rarely-seen portrait of a regime in freefall, this is Tehran on the brink; the crushed protests over the collapse of the currency; the taxicabs circling the city for work; the burned out garbage cans and the taped-up windows.
What does it mean to exist under siege? Or repression, blackout and total fear? How do you get the message out? Piercing, poignant and delicately observed, this is the vital story of a city at the end of the world - and an act of witness against darkness.
Sirotci dešťových stínů 1
V Závětrném městě vládne chudoba, korupce a strach ze Šťastných havranů – gangu, který určuje, kdo smí žít a kdo skončí pod zemí. Tošiko, Jun a Mei nespojuje příbuzenské pouto, ale touha pomstít smrt ženy, která jim byla vším. Haru, císařovnin syn, utíká od politiky ke Slunečním duchům, záhadným bytostem, které vidí pouze on. A Teo, nelegální přistěhovalec, touží jen splynout s okolím – jenže v gangu i tak přitahuje pozornost. Jejich světy by se nikdy neprotnuly, kdyby Dračí perla nepřepsala pravidla hry.

Čtení na každý den ze spisů církevních otců
Jednotlivé měsíce začínají krátkým úvodem do života jednoho z otců a po něm následují krátká zamyšlení na každý den, které vybral a seřadil Nick Needham.
Církevní otcové vždy zaujímali v křesťanské teologii mimořádné místo. Samozřejmě jako první po apoštolech vykládali evangelium. Z jejich slov často dýchá svěžest a opravdovost evangelia, snad díky tomu, jak blízko měli k událostem, jež nám přinesly spásu. Navíc to byli myslitelé, kteří se jako první dobrali plného významu toho, co Písmo říká o Trojici a o Kristově osobě. Některé základní pravdy, které formulovali, byly později vloženy do velkých vyznání víry rané církve.
„Knihu vydáváme s přáním, aby se naši čtenáři s učením vybraných církevních otců setkali i dnes. Věříme, že v době nestability, změn a nejistoty není nic důležitějšího, než zakotvit svou víru v neměnném, nekonečně moudrém a milujícím Bohu, v něhož pevně věřili i tito první křesťanští teologové.“
– z předmluvy Mojmíra Adámka, staršího sboru BSK Kroměříž

The Great Exhibition
The Great Exhibition of 1851 was the world’s first international exposition of manufactured goods, inventions, works of art and artefacts from many cultures. A showcase of British manufacturing supremacy, an educational extravaganza, a lesson to foreigners and a deep source of public fascination, the Exhibition was closely connected with Queen Victoria’s consort, Prince Albert, who put much effort into having it sited in Hyde Park against stiff opposition. Protesters feared the disappearance of the park under tons of bricks and mortar, but when the great structure was eventually chosen and built, it silenced dissenters and became the most famous new building in the world. During its six months, the Exhibition’s 100,000 exhibits were seen by over 6 million people who came to celebrate Britain’s industrial ascendancy and sparked a renewed confidence in the possibilities of peaceful social progress. In The Great Exhibition, John R. Davis explores the organisation and implementation of the event, and delves into its wider significance and the historical debates surrounding it. Complete with insights into the event’s part in the construction of the modern world, this accessible history showcases the pinnacle of Victorian innovation.

How to Resist Guilt
From the acclaimed author of In Defence of Witches, a powerful exploration of self-blame, why women are prone to it, and what we can do about it. Many of us battle a relentless inner critic that whispers to us we are unworthy or inadequate. In How to Resist Guilt, a powerful manifesto about finding the courage to say no and replace ideas of duty with those of desire, Mona Chollet argues that we should protect our boundaries, demand what we deserve and enjoy the profound simplicity of just being. Delving into the insidious ways guilt is wielded as a tool by those with power and privilege, she dissects its origins, interrogates the nature of shame and why we feel it, and encourages us to fight back. ‘Chollet has emerged as a quiet revolutionary, pushing back against the clichés and the patriarchy that shapes them' - The New York TimesTranslated from French by Emily Boyce.
Így leplezd le a saját gyilkosodat
A tizenhét éves Frances Adams 1965 nyarán egy angol vidéki vásárban hátborzongató jóslatot kap: egy napon gyilkosság áldozata lesz. Bármily hihetetlenek a kóklernek tűnő jósnő szavai, Frances nem tud tőlük szabadulni, és attól kezdve egész életén át rögeszmésen próbál felderíteni egy bűntényt, amely még meg sem történt.
Közel hatvan évvel később Annie Adamst meghívják egy találkozóra gazdag, visszavonultan élő nagynénje, Frances hatalmas vidéki birtokára. Mire azonban a lány megérkezik a bájos angol faluba, Castle Knollba, Francest holtan találják – bekövetkezett az, amit mindig is váltig állított. Annie – nem mellesleg pályakezdő krimiíró – a nagynéni naplójával a kezében elszántan keresi a gyilkost, hiszen a jókora örökség azt illeti, aki leleplezi a bűnöst. Ám Frances egész életében maga is titkokat és hazugságokat ásott elő, emiatt szinte valamennyi falubelinek lehetett indítéka a gyilkosságra.
Vajon képes lesz-e Annie kibogozni a sötét Castle Knoll-i rejtélyt, vagy a múlt sebeinek feltépése őt magát sodorja a gyilkos útjába? Ahogy egyre közelebb jut az igazsághoz, mind jobban retteg attól, hogy nem nagynénje vagyonát, hanem a sorsát fogja megörökölni.
