After expressing his reason for fighting passion, Newport begins a search to find the reality of how people eventually love what they do. Spending time with organic farmers, ventura financiers, screenwriters, freelance computer programrs, and others who claim to have great satisfaction in their jobs, Newport uncovers the strategies they use and traps they avoid developing their careers Interesting. Adjusting your work to a preexisting passion does not matter, he said. Passion arises after you work hard to be extraordinary on something precious, not before. In other words, what you do to live is far more important than how you do it. With the title taken from comedian Steve Martin, who once said his advice to prospective entertainers was to "be so good they can 't ignore you," the manifesto Cal Newport clearly written is compulsory reading to anyone concerned About what to do with their lives, or frustrated by their current job situation and wanting to find a fresh new way to control their livelihood.
