"Follow your passion," they said. So why do you still feel lost about your career?
You've been told to find your passion and everything will fall into place. But you're not sure what your passion is, or you followed it and it didn't pay the bills. Meanwhile, others seem to build careers they love, with freedom, respect and good income.
Passion isn't something you find. It's something that grows when you become really good at something valuable.
Why skills trump passion in the quest for work you love.
In So Good They Can't Ignore You, bestselling author and professor Cal Newport (author of Deep Work) challenges the "follow your passion" myth.
