The Passion Paradox (Book Read January 2020)

This is one of my favorites, written by Bard Stulberg and Steve Magness.
- Proactively manage your passion
- Beware of the fit mind-set pitfall
- Select "interesting" over "perfect"
- Make incremental gains
- Focus on the process of the craft
- Mastery mind-set: Drive from within, Focus on the process, Be the best at getting better, Embrace acute failure for chronic gains, Patience, and Be here now
- There's no true balance, strive for self-awareness
I will try to read it again this summer.

Thank you Kaylee

Kaylee made me S'mores from her chemistry class.  She said she would be sad if I didn't eat it during class.  I ate it.  It was delicious and I didn't die.  She made three piece, Kylee and Kelly each had one.  Kaylee and I split one piece.  (From 1/10/2020)
