In this eye-opening account, Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice.
Not only is the cliché flawed-preexisting passions are rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work-but it can also be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping.
After making his case against passion, Newport sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving what they do. Spending time with organic farmers, venture capitalists, screenwriters, freelance computer programmers, and others who admitted to deriving great satisfaction from their work, Newport uncovers the strategies they used and the pitfalls they avoided in developing their compelling careers.
Matching your job to a preexisting passion does not matter, he reveals. Passion comes after you put in the hard work to become excellent at something valuable, not before.
In other words, what you do for a living is much less important than how you do it.
With a title taken from the comedian Steve Martin, who once said his advice for aspiring entertainers was to "be so good they can't ignore you," Cal Newport's clearly written manifesto is mandatory reading for anyone fretting about what to do with their life, or frustrated by their current job situation and eager to find a fresh new way to take control of their livelihood. He provides an evidence-based blueprint for creating work you love.
SO GOOD THEY CAN'T IGNORE YOU will change the way we think about our careers, happiness, and the crafting of a remarkable life.

乔布斯在2005年斯坦福大学毕业典礼上说： “You've got to find what you love. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking, and don't settle.” 相信你一定看过这个演讲，并且曾经为之激动不已。乔布斯并不是第一...

挺好的一本书，非常现实。作者一开始就打破那个所谓找你热爱的工作“If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life.“的大话。 这个大话基本上是资本主义机器又一次对忙于生活的普通人的市场营销。倡导你“爱”你的工作，以“爱”转移工作环境不佳（例如超时...

How do people end up loving what they do? The narratives in this book are bound by a common thread: the importance of ability. The things that make a great job great, I discovered, are rare and valuable. If you want them in your working life, you need som...

观点并不新颖，但论证方式让人眼前一亮，不愧是CS教授。结合作者的另一本书 Deep Work，应该不难发现对脑力劳动者来说累积职业资本需要长久的专注以理解大部分人难以理解的困难复杂的概念并找到其可以应用的地方。这个道理越早明白越好，很遗憾没有早点明白，但好在现在也不算太晚。

认可积攒career capital获得control比追随热情中找寻要更适合普通人，但Steve Jobs那种也是积攒capital的方式之一。Steve并非热情Zen，然后为了赚钱投身于tech。他是在过程中找到兴趣，没有对Zen的热情就没有后面的Apple设计。Cal Newport找到了一个很好的门径，既然追寻热情不是普通人的正解，如何做，Cal的回答一如Deep Work，挑audien... 认可积攒career capital获得control比追随热情中找寻要更适合普通人，但Steve Jobs那种也是积攒capital的方式之一。Steve并非热情Zen，然后为了赚钱投身于tech。他是在过程中找到兴趣，没有对Zen的热情就没有后面的Apple设计。Cal Newport找到了一个很好的门径，既然追寻热情不是普通人的正解，如何做，Cal的回答一如Deep Work，挑audience。我个人的职业发展是Call Newport这个思路，但我的motivation很简单，学历门槛让我格外自知，被动的自我限制，做了10销售后，我的career capital让我擅长，尤其是时间自由（我能任意休假且不耽搁工作进度），如果不是学历门槛，我依然觉得Steve Jobs那个更值得体验。 (展开)

這本書告訴你，比passion更重要也更能付諸實踐的是刻意練習（deliberate practice），頗有實際指導意義。

专注于你的技能，而不是激情。因为正是这些不可替代的、宝贵的技能，让我们更加受人尊敬，更有影响力，可以更加自由的定义自己的职业生涯，从而找到那份久违的激情。

没想到是2012年（12年前！！）的老书。翻看真是失望，没见过不厚的一本书，字号那么大，感觉就是机场快速读物。里面看看每章的总结就好了，可能只是适合刚刚大学毕业还在寻找自己人生激情和梦想的阶段。讲的主要在职场上找到自己的核心竞争力，被重视重用后，激情自然就来了。

没想到我最喜欢的居然是conclusion。全篇都在说 follow your passion is dangerous advice 读了好多作者的小例子，我都在想这有什么好看的？直到最后才明白 Carl Newport 是真情实感的想教会我什么啊！准备读digital minimalism了

单凭一股热情和自认为伟大的想法很难创造伟大的创新（要先到达前沿）。职场资本。培养稀缺有竞争力的能力。找到自己的使命。使命到现实的跨越。

解答了我之前的疑惑（为什么做别人觉得boring的工作也开心），确认了我现在在做的事情（craftsmanship），也提醒了我将来会遇到的事（control & mission）。不愧是大牛的phd，写的书实在是太清晰了。每章开始都有总提，后来也不断会refer到前面说过的事。这样的professor讲课应该也太清晰了吧！比看的上一本书分隔符我都不知道在分割什么的好太太太多了。总之内容非常好，写... 解答了我之前的疑惑（为什么做别人觉得boring的工作也开心），确认了我现在在做的事情（craftsmanship），也提醒了我将来会遇到的事（control & mission）。不愧是大牛的phd，写的书实在是太清晰了。每章开始都有总提，后来也不断会refer到前面说过的事。这样的professor讲课应该也太清晰了吧！比看的上一本书分隔符我都不知道在分割什么的好太太太多了。总之内容非常好，写的也好读，值得反复看反复提醒自己。 (展开)
