The Passion Paradox

Gérez votre relation avec passion, cultivez le genre de passion

Passion can be a blessing; it’s a hallmark of mastery and a precursor to great success. But if it’s not pursued thoughtfully and handled carefully, passion can quickly become a curse, something that is far more destructive than it is productive.

This dark kind of passion is especially prevalent in a culture that conditions us to crave quick fixes and instant gratification, tempts us to judge ourselves by the number of “followers” or “friends” we have on social media, and repeatedly tells us that “winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing”; a culture that is achievement-oriented and compels us to focus solely on results at all costs.

Fortunately, as we’ll show you in the coming pages, the choice to pursue passion—and equally as important, whether it goes in a positive or negative direction—is largely up to you. Passion, when approached in the right way, is an ongoing practice. A practice that leads to not only a wonderful experience of working, but also a wonderful experience of living.

You’ll learn how to manage your relationship with passion and cultivate the kind of passion that lights you up rather than burns you out or sets your life on fire.
