Description
Upgradable helps uncommon people lead uncommonly impactful lives. - The Upgrade Program ("UP") is an experimental program that uses emerging technology, behavioral science, and applied rationality to help you** set, plan, **and **pursue **your most valuable goals in life.  - With EAs or EA-adjacent people, we usually do UPs that are between 1 day and 1 year long focusing on measurably improving whatever is most valuable for you given your values. This varies person to person, but generally revolves around your career, productivity, emotional wellbeing, physical wellbeing, financial security, relationships, personal safety, and/or emergency preparedness. We have science-based, partly outsourceable plans (including carefully curated tools, assessments, and resources) for optimizing these and every other area of your life. The ultimate aim is to allocate the optimal number of hours for you towards your highest impact work over your lifetime. - See UP Primer to learn how to run an UP on your own. It's free except your time. We can arrange cohorts of people, if enough want to start at the same time. And we do pro bono life optimization calls for anyone value-aligned to nudge you towards what you value the most. - See this page for specific relevance to EA's: http://www.upgradable.org/effective-altruists.
