Redefining Success: A Conversation with Rutger Bregman on Moral Ambition @ Princeton

​​Let’s be honest: every year, thousands of brilliant students enter Princeton determined to change the world—and a few years later, nearly half of them vanish into the Bermuda Triangle of Talent: consulting, finance, and corporate law.

​​This isn’t just a waste of time. It’s a waste of potential on a historic scale.

​​Rutger Bregman, 2x New York Times-bestselling author and CEO of The School for Moral Ambition, is coming to campus with a challenge: stop climbing the ladder of success if it’s leaning against the wrong wall. In an age of disillusionment and burnout, he offers a bold alternative—moral ambition.

​​Drawing on the stories of history’s greatest disruptors from the abolitionists to the suffragettes, Bregman will make the case for redefining success and reclaiming your career as a force for good.
