The Passion Paradox


Book Description

The coauthors of the bestselling Peak Performance dive into the fascinating science behind passion, showing how it can lead to a rich and meaningful life while also illuminating the ways in which it is a double-edged sword. Here’s how to cultivate a passion that will take you to great heights—while minimizing the risk of an equally great fall. Common advice is to find and follow your passion. A life of passion is a good life, or so we are told. But it's not that simple. Rarely is passion something that you just stumble upon, and the same drive that fuels breakthroughs—whether they're athletic, scientific, entrepreneurial, or artistic—can be every bit as destructive as it is productive. Yes, passion can be a wonderful gift, but only if you know how to channel it. If you're not careful, passion can become an awful curse, leading to endless seeking, suffering, and burnout. Brad Stulberg and Steve Magness once again team up, this time to demystify passion, showing readers how they can find and cultivate their passion, sustainably harness its power, and avoid its dangers. They ultimately argue that passion and balance--that other virtue touted by our culture--are incompatible, and that to find your passion, you must lose balance. And that's not always a bad thing. They show readers how to develop the right kind of passion, the kind that lets you achieve great things without ruining your life. Swift, compact, and powerful, this thought-provoking book combines captivating stories of extraordinarily passionate individuals with the latest science on the biological and psychological factors that give rise to—and every bit as important, sustain—passion.

Passion Is Not Enough


Book Description

Good intentions don't change the world. Ideas alone will change nothing. Desires don't feed the hungry. Ambition won't stop injustice. Enthusiasm alone will not reach the lost. Wishing changes nothing. To change the world, we must have more than passion.

The potential for change is enormous, but Greg is right when he says 'passion is not enough.' I'm excited about this book and what I believe it can do for thousands of passionate young leaders who are looking for next steps." -PETE WILSON, Pastor of Cross Point and Author of Plan B. "Many people want to change the world, but few are willing to do what it takes. I've known Greg for more than a decade and he has a message that today's young leaders need to hear. Passion Is Not Enough is a healthy balance of inspiration and truth. I highly recommend this book." -CLAYTON KING, Author of Dying to Live "I work with passionate world changers all the time who hit a wall of disappointment, discouragement, and their dreams have died. Often they are faced with the hard truth that passion is simply not enough.

If you truly want to scale, grow, and sustain your mission, Passion Is Not Enough is a must-read!" -MIKE FOSTER, People of the Second Chance "Passion without intentional process for implementation will quickly fade away.
