Our Take:
In Pursue the Passion, Brett Farmiloe delves into the reasons people are passionate about their work, in order to offer a better path to those who are unhappy at work and ready to break free.
About This Book:
Pursue the Passion was inspired by a statistic — half of the American workforce is unhappy with their job.
During the summer of 2007, four recent college grads were corporately sponsored to travel across America in an RV. Their mission? To find out what makes people passionate about their work. 16,000 miles, 38 states, 300 interviews and 10,000 photographs later, Pursue the Passion profiles the interviews and stories collected from the cross country journey.
For YEC members, Brett says, Pursue the Passion offers insights that will give anyone willing to discard conventional career wisdom the edge in turning a passion into a profession.
