Let’s be real: a book closet without a book by Rutger Bregman is hard to find these days. As a historian and writer, Rutger gained international recognition with his bestseller Utopia for Realists (Gratis Geld Voor Iedereen). In early 2019, he delivered his viral speech at Davos, which had over 30 million views. His book Humankind (De Meeste Mensen Deugen) has been published in 46 languages, selling more than one and a half million copies worldwide. A documentary series and a Hollywood movie are still on the way. His new book, Moral Ambition - Stop Wasting Your Talent and Make Work of Your Ideals, will be released on 19 March 2024. In this book, Rutger argues that the biggest waste of our time is the waste of talent. He pleads for us to strive for a new kind of success.
