manu reviewed 80,000 Hours by Benjamin J Todd
Not surprising, some good inspiration
2 stars
I was curious what this was about and it is basically what it says on the tin: a tool to push people towards the effective altruism movement. It makes valid points and references interesting research, but I think it still requires the reader to question some of the conclusions and keep a little skeptic in order not to follow everything blindly. The last third of the book is the appendix.
If you’re young/early in your career, have your shit together but are really lost about what to do with your life and how to even start figuring that out, this can get you some some useful inspiration or cornerstones to navigate by.
