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.

Great Book! Good for long car rides!
I'm a college freshman and I live about 30 minutes from my school. I really got into Thomas's channel when I was in high school and I saw that he offered his book for free to his subscribers. After downloading the PDF, I quickly realized that I didn't have time to read another book on top of my textbooks, so I opted to get the audiobook version. This book is great to listen to on the way to school to get myself into the studious mindset, and I love seeing where I can apply what I learned in the morning throughout my day. Good read 10/10 would reccomend.

Great to get back to what matters
When I read the physical book the first time, I didn't retain enough info to put my head around. When I bought the audiobook (finally) I started to change my habits bit by bit. Even when I am in college and dedicated to being a pro graphic designer, I still chose to go what Thomas says. I have been following him for a long time and let's just say that he needs to write more books soon!

Simple, easy to understand and effective
I've been a long time follower of Thomas Frank, and this, perhaps is one of his best works.
Having already read the book, the tips, tricks and advice given in the book gives a clear picture of what you need to do to succeed, and with Frank's advice, the ideas are simple to implement in your life.
Having listened to the book, I feel like I have absorbed more, as hearing the author himself read it feels more personal, and his informative yet friendly tone keeps the listener engaged throughout.
Highly recommended to my fellow students and others alike!
