Stop Searching For Your Passion (Do this instead)
Description:
The cultural imperative to “follow your passion” sounds like a good idea, right? Turns out, it’s lousy advice. The notion that you need to be 100% clear on your passion before you: find a job, build a career, start your life, is not inspiring; it’s stultifying. In one of the most viewed TEDx talks with more than 5 million views, “Stop Searching For Your Passion,” Terri Trespicio took to task this ubiquitous advice. Drawing on the worlds of leadership, entrepreneurship, art, and comedy, Terri picks up where the talk leaves off, and shows you how to go from wild goose chase for your passion to life and work that matter.
