But, you know, looking over the user feedback, the problem that we saw was that for the typical reader, it seemed like the advanced series seemed on average worse.

I hope people find a more impactful career.

That probably is not going to be true for everyone.

You know, big fans of the show and longtime listeners, I think will often value the advanced series more.

But for the majority of people, it seemed like the old version just did a better job.

Noticing that, my colleagues thought, well, why not bring back the career guide?

So we've done that.

But in order to do it, it did need some editing to bring it up to date, given that much of it was written back in 2016.

Among other edits, Benjamin and the research team went over the references and footnotes to make them up to date and bring them in line with what we think the evidence currently shows about some of these topics.

We substantially changed our recommendations about career capital in particular.

There were a whole lot of improvements to our advice on personal fit and career exploration.

And the career planning article got fleshed out and there was a shiny new career planning template added to that.

And of course, we've recorded this audiobook version, which has never existed before.

The guide has 11 parts and it's reasonably long, but you can use the chapters feature in your podcasting app to skip to whatever part you'd like to listen to the most.

We've also put together a separate podcast feed titled the 80,000 hours career guide, which you could go and subscribe to, which breaks it all down into individual pieces and also includes nine other appendices that have a lot of really useful information in them, but which we decided to leave out of this file in the interest of time and length.

The 11 chapters in the guide are 1.

What makes for a dream job?

2.

Can one person make a difference?

What the evidence says.
