Episode Synopsis

I keep seeing advice on ambition, aimed at people in college or early in their career, that would have been really bad for me at similar ages. Rather than contribute (more) to the list of people giving poorly universalized advice on ambition, I have written a letter to the one person I know my advice is right for: myself in the past.Source:https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/uGDtroD26aLvHSoK2/dear-self-we-need-to-talk-about-ambition-1Narrated for LessWrong by TYPE III AUDIO.Share feedback on this narration.[125+ Karma Post] ✓[Curated Post] ✓
