Audience Open to the Public

Rutger Bregman, whose TED Talk, 'Poverty Isn't a Lack of Character; It's a Lack of Cash', was selected as one of the top ten talks of 2017, will speak about the need for society to rethink success not as status or wealth, but as service and impact. Bregman will explore how to choose problems worthy of your talent, measure real-world results instead of prestige, and how to take meaningful, cost-effective action on policy issues that make a difference.

Bregman is a New York Times bestselling author of Humankind and Utopia for Realists and has recently released the Sunday Times best-seller Moral Ambition. 

In association with the School for Moral Ambition@Princeton, and the Kahneman-Treisman Center.
