What is So Good They Can't Ignore You Summary about?
Cal begins the book with the story of one of him friends. His friend was working a rather traditional job, but he wasn’t enjoying it. He believed that there was more to life, he believed he should be able to do what he loved, and he believed he knew where his passions lay. He had discovered philosophy and Buddhism and wanted to explore the world. He decided to quit his job, sell all of his possessions and move to a monastery. After an initial few days of excitement and contentment with ‘doing what he loved’, he started to realize he didn’t love everything about being a monk. And after a few weeks of meditation and loans, he came to realize that living the life of a monk was not his passion whatsoever. I’m sure we all know someone who has hated their job and decided to quit and follow their passion (or in some cases - like my own - that person may be ourselves). Stories like these prompted Cal to ask a question led him on his own quest and forms the basis of this book: “Why do some people end up loving what they do, while so many others fail to find this?
