    This does work for some people, but my experience was that having my livelihood depend on my passion completely killed my passion.

      You misunderstand.

      There’s a big difference between something you’re passionate about and something you enjoy.

      The book works by testing your skills in different areas and then giving you a list of jobs that sue those skills.

      For example, if one has good social skills and good dexterity they could be successful as a hairstylist or as a paramedic or as a product demonstrator.

      All the jobs are different but they use the same skills.

      If you actually like talking to people you’ll be miserable driving a truck alone all day. That’s what the book prevents.
