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...

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。

NC写得书 条理论证清晰，一环扣一环，完了最后还有总结再次归纳。不愧是理科生出来的，逻辑搬弄的刚刚的。
