Quand tu ne sais pas quoi faire de ta vie, le conseil que tu vas recevoir le plus souvent est "Écoute tes passions et fonce!" Oui, c'est inspirant comme avis, mais selon Cal Newport, c'est tellement faux et dangereux comme démarche. À la place, vise à développer du "capital de carrière", ce qui te permet d'être reconnu par ton excellence et de connaitre des nouvelles possibilités qui t'étaient inaccessibles auparavant. Dans cet épisode, je t'explique comment y parvenir.

Why would renowned associate professor of computer science at Georgetown University Cal Newport shun social media and keep ultra tight tight restrictions on his own technology usage? Because he desires to master his life, peace and productivity and he knows the limiting power of unleashed electronics in his life. Imagine waking up and immediately eating a donut. Getting ready for work and having a breakfast of...donuts. On the way to work, have a donut. As a matter of fact, you just keep a dozen with you at all times and rarely let 15-20 minutes go by without at least having a bite. I mean, what harm is there in just a bite here and there? But by day’s end you never had enough room in your belly to get any good nutrition in and you feel a bit woozy from all the sugar and carbs, even as you sneak a couple bites as your head hits the pillow and you try to get some sleep, which is disturbed by the days intake of junk. Or constant spending of your money? We all know we must budget our nutritional intake and financial expenses. We know we can’t binge on anything continuously. But in a short amount of time, our electronics and devices have crept in and many of us find ourselves on a near non-stop diet. What is it doing to us? This is our topic today. As I mentioned, Cal Newport is an associate professor of computer science at Georgetown University and the author of six books, including his most recent, Digital Minimalism - Choosing a focused life in a noisy world. Two of his books, Deep Work “Rules for focused success in a distracted world” and So Good They Can't Ignore You are books I’ve heard so many world influencers reference. It was the testimony of Michael Hyatt that prompted me to do this interview with Cal. You won't find Cal on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, but you can often find him at home with his family in Washington, DC, or writing essays for his popular website calnewport.com. Gratefully, he took time to have an in depth conversation with us. We all need to hear this message. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Cal Newport is the author of some phenomenal books that work together to form a great trilogy: So Good They Can't Ignore You highlights how skills are far more important than passion and emphasises the importance of developing 'career capital' in order to get a job that you allows you to enjoy what you do and make an impact Deep Work shows us that the best way to develop that career capital is to block out chunks of uninterrupted time to focus and work hard on important projects and skills Digital Minimalism sheds light on the dangers of being constantly connected and how carefully stepping away from technology overload can allow you to do more deep work, which allows you to develop career capital, which allows you to take that next step in your career.

Cal Newport isn’t on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or any other social media platform—and for good reason. An associate professor of computer science at Georgetown University, Cal has spent a lot of time studying and writing about how humans interact with technology. He’s the author of six books, including Deep Work, So Good They Can't Ignore You, and his latest, appropriately titled Digital Minimalism. In this episode, Cal explains how social media has become more and more addictive and how this fragments our attention to make real concentration increasingly difficult. Listen in to learn the benefits of digital minimalism, how to draw the line between beneficial online activities and those that have a negative impact, and what you can do to give yourself a digital detox.

Cal Newport is an associate professor of computer science at Georgetown University, and he’s also the author of six (amazing) books including Deep Work and So Good They Can’t Ignore You. You will NOT find Cal on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or any other social media platforms. And if you’re wondering why, you’ll learn a lot more in today’s interview when we discuss his brand new book Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life In a Noisy World. In my previous conversation with Cal we did a deep dive into his area of expertise: Deep work. And what Cal discovered after publishing that book is that one of the main distractions keeping people from regularly getting into ‘the zone’ and accomplishing deep work was social media. This led him down the path of learning more about how social media affects our lives, our attention spans, our emotions, and our psyche. And what he has discovered is not good. Beyond simply breaking down in very clear terms the detriments of spending too much time on social media, Cal has taken the step of creating a philosophy for technology use that has already improved the lives of thousands of people that have implemented it. If you have the nagging suspicion that your smartphone and social media are commanding far more of your time, energy, and attention than you would like, perhaps adopting a little digitial minimalism isn’t such a bad idea. Learn how to drastically reduce your addiction to social media and your smartphone and live a more calm, distraction-free, and present life from the expert himself in this interview.

Today I decided to review Cal Newport's book that I've read in a long time but never got the chance to do it. Today I'm going to review "So Good They Can't Ignore You" Here is the book description extracted from Amazon: "In this eye-opening account, Cal Newport debunks the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice. Not only is the cliché flawed-preexisting passions are rare and have little to do with how most people end up loving their work-but it can also be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. After making his case against passion, Newport sets out on a quest to discover the reality of how people end up loving what they do. 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. Matching your job to a preexisting passion does not matter, he reveals. 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. SO GOOD THEY CAN'T IGNORE YOU will change the way we think about our careers, happiness, and the crafting of a remarkable life."

Ep. 97 Kevin Donahue: Master Salesman talks Painting a Brighter Future, Neuro Performance Academy, and Surf and Serve When it comes to sales, there are few people in the world more qualified to talk on that topic than Kevin Donahue.  At an early age he was inspired by his grandfather's entrepreneurial pursuits to take on a life of generating wealth by creating value. As a child Kevin started with paper routes and direct response marketing and since then, he's has never looked back.  After achieving what most would consider to be MASSIVE success in sales of construction equipment and technology, he found himself standing in his penthouse apartment looking out across Washington D.C. In that moment, he had a realization. Something significant was missing from his life. There was so much more he wanted to do and he wanted every moment to be infused with deep purpose and meaning. That pivotal moment in his life helped guide him to where he is now.  Today, Kevin works as a sales consultant through his work with his company Executive Sales Source and is also deeply involved in cutting edge human optimization research with his work with Neuro Performance Academy. Additionally, he runs a charity benefitting individuals in need in Panama which combines two of his favorite things. It is aptly named, Surf and Serve.  In today's episode Kevin will discuss:  Why you should STOP SELLING His definition of selling and how to use it to have people clamoring for your products and services Why you should leave people, "haunted with indecision" in a sales conversation The definition of "WIIFM" and why it is crucial to your business and life "Give Up" vs. "Go Up" Goals How doctors are unlocking human potential using Neuroplasticity And so much more!    To learn more about Kevin check out the links below:  Executive Sales Source Surf and Serve Neuro Performance Academy   Book Recommendation:  So Good They Can't Ignore You by Cal Newport   OVERCOMING GRADUATION SHOW NOTES:  To book your free one hour Clarity Session to: Gain a crystal-clear understanding of what are your life’s passions and find out what actions to take TODAY to start making your dreams reality, FASTER than you ever thought possible Uncover hidden challenges / mindsets that are sabotaging your success Gain a new understanding on life to leave each session feeling renewed, energized, and inspired to take on life’s biggest challenges TODAY Click the link below!

In this episode of Reader's Guide, me and my good friend Bharathi had discussed some very valid, strong controversial points in the book titled " So Good They Can't Ignore You" written by Cal Newport. What if somebody say "Don't follow your passion" as a career advice to you. This is what precisely Newport says. Listen to it to discover more gems from the book. Listen and share your feedback.

Our hosts discuss yet another book by Cal Newport, "So Good They Can't Ignore You". In this book, Cal Newport challenges the idea of "follow your passion" for work that you should do by calling this the "Passion Hypothesis". Kris, Toran, and Brandon discuss this and the other major points of the book, Career Capital and Deliberate practice as they reflect on their career journeys thus far. They also dream about the future and how what they learned from this book could help level up in their career.

Avolyn Fisher caught my eye by writing an article on LinkedIn about how she tried stand-up comedy and how that training helped her in her day job as a data analyst. I was very intrigued, mostly, because I have wanted to practice standup but am afraid to, so I have a lot of respect for those that try but I also wanted to talk to Avolyn so that she could tell her story to you all. A story I think you will get something out of.

I figure, if I want to learn podcasting tips that can help my show stand apart in the crowded podcastosphere, I might as well go to the people who have made a living from doing audio well. And I also go a little help from a new friend - a guy named Cal Newport. Well, Cal's not actually my friend, but he's like a long-distance mentor via his books and interviews. Cal's book "So Good They Can't Ignore You" inspired me to work at becoming the very best I can be in a chosen field. The field I've chosen: Podcasting. So.... reading a book by the folks at NPR about audio reporting and recording was right up the alley of my learning curve. This episode is about the podcasting tips I learned from the good folks at NPR. >

Cal Newport is a computer scientist at Georgetown University who writes a blog called Study Hacks about effective study methods. We have covered one of his books already, So Good They Can't Ignore You, when I wanted to discuss career advice. Before writing How to Become a Straight-A Student, Newport visited a number of university campuses in the USA and looked for students who got the best grades. Curiously, he found that these usually came in two types - those who were constantly grinding away in their studies, as one might expect from a top student; and those who seemed to their peers never to be overworked, and led full extra-curricular and social lives, but always seemed to do the best in their courses. Newport interviewed these, and their approaches to study make the basis of this book. It's interesting to see some of the cognitive science ideas like those put forward by Benedict Carey's How We Learn being put into action by these students, generally without any of them being aware that they are doing so, as they apparently happened upon their study techniques by themselves. It is particularly enlightening to see how they prioritise certain important cognitive features - for example, considering coloured pens for notes to be superfluous (despite scientific evidence that this would improve memory). It would appear that these successful students have figured out the relative importance of various techniques or insights into learning without having to carry out any scientific experiments or read the cognitive science literature. This is the first study guide that I am covering on the podcast, and I don't intend to cover very many. I'm more interested in talking about fundamentals on this podcast than in sharing tips and tricks. The fact that I like the author (due to his other books), and that his approach seems more empirical than other study guides, but less clinically divorced from the real world than scientific books and articles, led me to want to share it with you. I hope it helps you in your studies, or in your teaching. Enjoy the episode. Music by podcastthemes.com.

Vous voulez un travail qui vous passionne ? Votre instinct est sans doute de lister vos passions et de vous demander comment percer dans ces domaines, mais cette approche a deux problèmes. Le premier problème est que tout le monde est passionné par les mêmes sujets : films, sports, développement personnel, musique, yoga, méditation... (Mais la majorité de la création de valeur dans le monde ne se situe PAS dans ces domaines). Le second problème est que, même si vous réussissez à travailler dans un domaine qui vous passionne, rien ne garantit que votre travail quotidien sera excitant. Par exemple, le passionné de golf qui vend des clubs sur internet n'a pas plus de temps à consacrer à son swing... Alors quelle est la solution ? Êtes-vous condamné à faire un travail qui ne vous passionne pas ? Dans cet épisode, je suis rejoint par Alexis Minchella pour résumer le livre qui apporte la meilleure réponse à ce dilemne : So Good They Can't Ignore You de Cal Newport. **Liens : ** Livre résumé : So Good They Can't Ignore You http://amzn.to/2giKkXd Retrouvez Alexis sur Medium et Twitter https://medium.com/@Alex_Minch https://twitter.com/AlexisMinchella Ma formation gratuite sur "Comment construire une audience" http://marketingmania.fr/audience?declic-adtracking=podcast

In the end, I realized that it was not making me happy and I purposely scaled back.”- Ariel Hyatt “You have to change what your vision and your purpose is as your company ages.”-Ariel Hyatt “It’s all about processes and being organized, because if your team doesn’t know how to approach the things that you do in a systematic effective way you’re not going to go very far.”-Ariel Hyatt “I think women especially, have a different relationship with ‘nice’ than men have… it was a lesson to learn that I can say ‘no’ I don’t have to be nice all the time.”- Ariel Hyatt “Women succeed more than men in crowd funding. The reason why, is women are not afraid to ask as much as men are.”- Ariel Hyatt “We might be really good at asking, however there is a science to having a successful crowd funding campaign.”-Ariel Hyatt “Don’t waste your energy, don’t waste your time, focusing on the one person that doesn’t like it because you can find , twenty, thirty, a hundred, in my case thousands of people that like it.”-Ariel Hyatt

Everyone says you should follow your passion. But everyone isn't always right. If you want to achieve massive success in your career then passion might not even remotely be the right place the start. In today's Book-of-the-Day, "So Good They Can't Ignore You," Cal Newport examines the science of how to best choose your life's work. Newport says, "Don't follow your passion." This book is a bit controversial. It goes against most of what you've heard in the popular media. Steve Jobs, of course, disagreed with this book's premise. Jobs said, "You've got to find what you love... And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle." But Newport argues that if you actually look at what Steve Jobs did with his life, you will find a different story. Steve Jobs didn't start with passion for technology or design. In fact he was more of a hippie at first, interested in going to Zen monasteries and 'dropping out' of life. Newport summarizes, "Compelling careers often have complex origins that reject the simple idea that all you have to do is follow your passion." That reminds me a bit of Einstein, "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler."  So what is a better way to find out what you should be doing for work? Let me give you a few ideas from the book and a few of my own: 1. Experience Creates Passion: Yale professor Amy Wrzesniewski published a paper called, "Jobs, Careers, and Callings: People’s Relations to Their Work." She discovered that the strongest predictor of seeing work as a calling was the number of years spent on the job. Experience at something seems to create love of what you do. Practice and years in the career matter. 2. Passion Is A Side-Effect Of Mastery: Daniel Pink is mentioned in the book along with a 40 year scientific framework called "Self-Determination Theory." The theory goes that intrinsic motivation comes from: A. Autonomy - Having control over your career and feeling that what you are doing is meaningful. B. Competence - Feeling like a master of the skills you practice at work. C. Relatedness - Having strong social connections at your job. So you must have a well rounded approach to finding your life's work. It's not as simple as just finding your passion. This theory of 'relatedness' actually shows that "WHO" you work with is almost as important as "WHAT" you do for work. Social life matters - even when it comes to work.  3. Strengths Before All: My personal experience is a bit different than this book. I think that more important than just having a lot of experience, autonomy, competence, and relatedness, you must have 'APTITUDE' - what are you good at naturally? I believe that this is the trump card that beats all other factors.  This is what Peter Drucker taught in "Managing Oneself": "Most people think they know what they are good at. They are usually wrong…And yet, a person can perform only from strength.”  One of the most important parts of my "67 Steps" program is the question of "Eularian Destiny." I talk about the 5 or 6 ways you can determine your strengths (it's a bit too long to explain here but check out the "67 Steps" and review that video). The basic explanation is that you have to open up multiple lines of "feedback analysis" so that you can get clues as to what your strengths are from multiple sources. You can't just go with your gut or ask your mom or best friend.  Most of us have huge blind spots when it comes to determining our strengths. And make no mistake, personality types exist. And because they exist it's logical that natural strengths and weaknesses must also exist. You can't just pick something you are passionate about and make that your career if you have no natural aptitude at it. Some passions should just stay hobbies. You have to be better than the average. Much better. In "Positive Psychology: The Science Of Happiness and Flourishing" authors Compton and Hoffman say the three most common human regrets are: Career, education, and romance.

Cal Newport, author of the Study Hacks blog and best-selling books like So Good They Can't Ignore You, talks with me about the importance of building skills over "finding your passion," choosing a major, and building deep habits.

Mark and Andrew argue over whether you should follow your passion or not, what "passion" really means and how the hard work of skill development fits in to the equation of success. The discussion is prompted in part by Cal Newport's book, So Good They Can't Ignore You.

"So Good They Can't Ignore You" Guest: Cal Newport Cal Newport, author of SO GOOD THEY CAN'T IGNORE YOU, joins Dr. Melody to debunk the long-held belief that "follow your passion" is good advice. According to Newport, not only is the cliche flawed -- it can also be dangerous, leading to anxiety and chronic job hopping. Newport's clearly written manifesto is mandatory reading for anyone fretting about what to do with their life. He provides an evidence-based blueprint for creating work you love. SO GOOD THEY CAN'T IGNORE YOUwill change the way we think about our careers, happiness, and the crafting of a remarkable life.
