Samenvatting

In "So Good They Can't Ignore You," Cal Newport argues that following your passion is not the key to career satisfaction; instead, developing rare and valuable skills (career capital) and adopting a craftsman mindset is crucial. He emphasizes that success comes from hard work, deliberate practice, and eventually gaining control over your career, leading to a fulfilling working life. The idea is to focus on becoming excellent at what you do, rather than fixating on finding a pre-existing passion.
