Book excerpt: Love can be downright messy.This last year has been a total disaster, but my failed six-month marriage takes the cake. While my ex is out having the time of his life, my coping mechanisms consist of an unhealthy obsession with true-crime podcasts and trying to revive my floundering social media account.So, when I get an offer from one of social media's darlings-Nikki Aker-to make gingerbread centerpieces for her Christmas wedding, I can't refuse. Not only because the job pays well (my maxed-out credit card will attest to how much I need this money), but it's a last-ditch effort to increase my following before I'm forced to get "a real job."There's only one small problem I didn't account for: Nikki's a self-proclaimed matchmaker, and apparently, I'm her next target. My only hope to escape unscathed is to conspire with Nikki's grumpy-albeit gorgeous-brother, Landon, who seems equally determined to get through this wedding with his single status fully intact.All we need to do is convince Nikki we're developing feelings for each other. What can possibly go wrong?

Download or read book So Good They Can t Ignore You written by Cal Newport and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2012-09-18 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an unorthodox approach, Georgetown University professor Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice, and sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving their careers. Not only are pre-existing passions rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work, but a focus on passion over skill can be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. Spending time with organic farmers, venture capitalists, screenwriters, freelance computer programmers, and others who admitted to deriving great satisfaction from their work, Newport uncovers the strategies they used and the pitfalls they avoided in developing their compelling careers. Cal reveals that matching your job to a pre-existing passion does not matter. Passion comes after you put in the hard work to become excellent at something valuable, not before. In other words, what you do for a living is much less important than how you do it. With a title taken from the comedian Steve Martin, who once said his advice for aspiring entertainers was to "be so good they can't ignore you," Cal Newport's clearly written manifesto is mandatory reading for anyone fretting about what to do with their life, or frustrated by their current job situation and eager to find a fresh new way to take control of their livelihood. He provides an evidence-based blueprint for creating work you love, and will change the way you think about careers, happiness, and the crafting of a remarkable life.
