The Passion Paradox: A Guide to Going All In, Finding Success, and Discovering the Benefits of an Unbalanced Life - Brad Stulberg, Steve Magness

A decent book about channeling passion and energy in a positive direction. I appreciated the author's discussion about how passion, when focused on outcomes or external factors, can corrupt someone's motivation and lead to burn out, or more seriously, cheating and destruction of someone's character.

Passion Paradox discusses both sides of pursuing your passion and gives concrete tips on how to maybe not let it overtake and ruin you. And it does away with the notion that Passion leaves room for balance. It may actually do away with the notion of balance at all which was actually quite refreshing in a COVID environment when it seems everything needs to be done RIGHT NOW and I'm personally pulled in five different directions at any given moment.

Each chapter contains summary boxes with the most salient points and the distillation of all the words is helpful in trying to formulate a plan or an understanding for a path forward. The book is ultimately accessible without a lot of jargon and some real life examples of people who got it right, or got it wrong. 

3/5 Stars.
