- So Good They Can’t Ignore You - This article is actually a summary of Cal Newport’s book of the same name. In it, he argues that “following your passion” rarely leads to job satisfaction. Instead, mastering a rare and valuable skill will build ‘career capital’: If you’re really good at what you do, you’ll feel competent and you’re typically granted autonomy, both key factors for occupational happiness. Therefore, pick a career path where you can deliberately improve your skills and aim to be the world-best at what you do.
