Answer: Many common ways to do good, such as becoming a doctor, have less impact than you might first think.

Part 4: Want to do good? Here’s how to choose an area to focus on. 13:12

1y ago13:12

13:12

Answer: To maximise your impact, work on areas (1) that are large in scale, (2) that others neglect, and (3) where it’s possible to make progress. Many people fail to compare the scale of different problems, work on the same problems as everyone else, and support programmes with no evidence of impact. In this article we explain how to compare globa…

Part 5: The world’s biggest problems and why they’re not what first comes to mind 30:12

1y ago30:12

30:12

Answer: Most people in rich countries who aim to do good work on health, poverty, and education in their home country. But health in poor countries is a bigger, more solvable problem, and only receives 4% of charitable donations. And we argue there are even bigger and more neglected issues, such as those involving existential risks and smarter-than…

Answer: When we think of jobs that help people, medicine, teaching, and charity work are what first come to mind. But these are not always the highest-impact options. To help the most people, think broadly about the paths where you can make the biggest contribution, including research, communications and community-building, taking high-earning jobs…

Part 8: How to find the right career for you 33:05

1y ago33:05

33:05

Answer: Don’t expect to figure out what you’re best at right away, especially through introspection, going with your gut, or career tests. Instead, think like a scientist: make best guesses, clarify your key uncertainties, and then investigate those uncertainties by doing research and cheap tests. Early in your career, consider trying out several p…

Part 9: How to make your career plan 23:04

1y ago23:04

23:04

Answer: Rather than try to pinpoint the single best option, accept that your plan is likely to change. But don’t try to “keep your options open”. Instead, think about your career in three stages: exploring, building career capital, and deploying that career capital to have an impact. Then, sketch out a plan A, but also a plan B and plan Z in case i…

Appendix A: The meaning of making a difference 5:26

1y ago5:26

5:26

Lots of people say they want to “make a difference,” “do good,” “have a social impact,” or “make the world a better place” — but they rarely say what they mean by those terms. By getting clearer about your definition, you can better target your efforts. So how should you define social impact?Από τον Benjamin Todd

But at 80,000 Hours, we’ve found that there are a number of evidence-backed steps that anyone can take to become more productive and successful in their career, and life in general. And as we saw in …
