📕 'So Good They Can't Ignore You' by Cal Newport
Why skills trump passion in the quest for work you love…
Cal's back, and what's Steve Martin got to do with it?
Whereas Deep Work goes against the grain of collaboration and distraction, encouraging people to nurture higher valued skills cultivated in a focused environment.
This book talks about the modern phenomenon of following your passion, and why that could actually be a bad idea, and the title is a quote from the comedian Steve Martin…
The point Newport makes is that you shouldn't blindly follow your passion but get so good at something that you build up a value 'bank' and you become passionate about it in the process.
Newport does write a good, in-depth, well thought out and researched book. Not hugely entertaining prose but an academic, structured and considered approach…
