Upon hearing about this book, the subtitle, "How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything" immediately intrigued me. I've been reading a lot of books lately dealing with the topic of achieving personal success in life. The Outliers, by Malcolm Gladwell, dealt with the reasons why some people are more successful than others. The Alchemist, by Paul Coelho, used allegorical writing, to speak about achieving our "personal legend". Other books such as The Rise of the Creative Class and The World is Flat question the new skills that people need to be successful in a rapidly changing world.
With chapter headings such as Thinking Differently, In the Zone, Finding Your Tribe, Do You Feel Lucky and For Love or Money, this promises to be an interesting read. I remember being taught in high school that the ultimate success is pursuing a career that you love. But can this idealistic view truly become a reality? Is it possible to do what we love while still having the resources to support ourselves and our families? Living in "the element" is certainly an appealing idea that seems possible to achieve after reading this book. The theme of creativity and innovation is one that resounds with all of us as we attempt to transform our dreams into reality.
