The Myth of Passion, Second Edition

Do what you love and the money will follow is the most repeated career advice of the last thirty years, and among the most damaging. This book examines where the passion narrative came from, who profits from it, and what it does to people who build their lives on it. Against it, the second edition sets a different foundation for work: competence, obligation, provision, and the dignity of doing necessary things well, drawing on economics, psychology, and the Islamic intellectual tradition on rizq and amana. For anyone who has been told to find their passion and suspects the advice was never meant for them. PDF ebook, delivered immediately after purchase.
