Summary of Benjamin Todd's 80,000 Hours

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The six ingredients of a dream job are that it be enjoyable and meaningful, and that it be good at something that helps other people. You can develop passion while doing work that you will find enjoyable and meaningful.

#2 We are bad at predicting what will make us most happy, and we don’t even realize how bad we are. We can’t just trust our intuitions and memories, so we need a more systematic way of finding a fulfilling job.

#3 The best job in 2015 was actuary, which is someone who uses statistics to measure and manage risks in the insurance industry. However, actuaries are not among the most satisfied with their jobs.

#4 Money does make you happy, but only a little. It is a cliché that you can’t buy happiness, but financial security is among most people’s top career priorities.
