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

​Due to the high number of RSVPs, we are moving to a larger room and will be at Emerson Hall, room 210.

​Let’s be honest: every year, thousands of brilliant students enter Harvard 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.

​Friday, November 14 | 🕔 4:30-5:30pm | 📍Harvard's Emerson Hall, Room 210 (NOTE ROOM CHANGE due to high turnout)

​Harvard and MIT students welcome.

​This event also marks the launch of the Harvard Moral Ambition Fellowship, a $15,000 summer program for Harvard juniors ready to spend their talent tackling the world’s most urgent problems instead of just maximizing shareholder value.

​Be among the first 20 to arrive and get a signed, pre-release copy of Moral Ambition: Stop Wasting Your Talent and Start Making a Difference.
