A nicely written case against the ‘follow your passion’ advice with a well-defined career-building strategy. As many non-fiction sel-help books, could be at least 10 times shorter, but hey, it’s pretty good.

The common advice for Gen Y is to "Follow your passion" and yet so many of us struggle to do so. Cal has an awesome counter argument for a better approach to building a career you'll love. This book logically lays out its case for focusing on developing unique and valuable skills and slowly evolving a core mission that drives you. He also breaks it down so it's clear exactly what *you* can do so you're not feeling like you just have a bunch of empty theories.

Podcast. They always say to follow your passion. But it’s actually a terrible career advice. The book offers an alternative model to think of your career more compelling than that.
