So Good They Can't Ignore You,
by Cal Neport
The core message of this book is about strategies/philosphy to adopt in order to have a fulfilled working life, to achieve a great career. It starts by arguing why “Follow your passion” is not as good advice as it seems to be.
Instead, it stands for working right in order to find right compelling work opportunities.
