Episode 21: Should You Follow Your Passion or Not? with TK Coleman

Joseph Cambell is famous for saying, “Follow your bliss”. It’s common to hear people say things like, “Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life.” Yet lately the most popular advice seems to be, “Follow your passion is terrible advice”, or, “Just work hard and get good at something and you’ll learn to love it”. Who’s right?

TK joins me to discuss in what ways both sides are right and wrong. I think both pick the wrong thing – passion – to focus on. TK thinks there are some definition issues and lack of charitable interpretation.
