What an inspiring book! A tremendous trumpet call to clear our heads of the current inward looking obsessions with self-realisation and all those selfish life-coaching motivational goals, aims and targets that we are told will bring us happiness, and to think instead about satisfying that part of us that can make a difference to the world. And as Rutger Bregman brilliant demonstrates, that, in the end, is where our true happiness and fulfilment is most likely to be found in the first place

Stephen Fry

Every now and then something tumbles from a brave mind and clangs at your feet like a full metal gauntlet. Moral Ambition is a book of weight, wit and incitement. There is something Socratic about Bregman. His works set off a mechanism that expands the readers ability to deal with and accept the vast and beautiful potential of humanity. I believe he calls himself a historian, he's not. He's a revolutionary in a sensible coat

Russell Crowe

Jameela Jamil

Rutger Bregman's latest work isn't merely a book; it's a call to action for humanity to reevaluate our paradigms of success and impact in the world. It serves as a stark wake-up call, urging us to truly utilise our talents to create the future we all wish to live in

Trevor Noah

Rutger Bregman challenges the reader to use their lives to improve the world. A bracing but ultimately uplifting wake-up call for a culture increasingly drowning in distraction and consumption!
