Check out this book called "So Good They Can't Ignore You": Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work You Love.

 

In this eye-opening account, Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice.

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.
