Join Our Book Club Discussion: "So Good They Can't Ignore You" by Cal Newport
Just a reminder, you can always attend a Tandem Book Club meeting. You do not have to have read the book, and you also haven't had to attend previous meetings. These are free!
We host two meetings for convenience. You do not have to attend both, it is the same info. You are definitely welcomed to!
Ever feel like you're stuck in a career rut, wondering how to find work you truly love? Cal Newport's thought-provoking book offers a fresh perspective. Instead of "following your passion," Newport argues that building rare and valuable skills is the key to career satisfaction.
Main Takeaways:
- Ditch the "Follow Your Passion" Mindset: Newport challenges the conventional wisdom that finding your passion is the key to happiness. Instead, focus on developing skills that make you valuable.
- Become a Craftsman: Adopt a mindset that prioritizes mastery and deliberate practice. This approach will help you build career capital and gain control over your work.
- Acquire Career Capital: Focus on acquiring rare and valuable skills that are in demand. This will give you the leverage to pursue work that truly fulfills you.
- Mission and Control: Once you've built career capital, use it to gain control over your work and identify a meaningful mission that drives you.
Join the Discussion: Come discuss this thought-provoking book with us and explore how to apply its principles to your own life and career. Don't worry if you haven't finished the book - all are welcome to join the conversation!
