To Find Happiness, Forget About
Passion
What is so wrong with followingyour passion?
Putting problems at the center of our decisionmaking changes everything
The good thing is that there are a lot of bigproblems to go by. Climate change,sustainability, poverty, education, healthcare,technology, and urbanization in emerging markets.
We could go on all day.
Develop situational awareness
Look into problems that affect youin a very personal way
Connect with people working onbig problems.
Take time off and travel
Happiness comes from the intersection of whatyou love, what you’re good at, and what the world needs.
We’ve been told time and again to keep finding the first. Our schools helped developed the second.
It’s time we put more thought on the third.
