How to Unfollow Your Passion

Have you ever felt an immense amount of pressure to find your passion?

To chase your passion?

To harness your passion?

I could ask you that question in hundreds of different ways, but the focus on “attaining” passion is everywhere.

It’s exhausting. Terri Trespicio

What if I told you that the best thing you could do for yourself is to stop searching for your passion entirely? That’s what this week’s Bound + Determined podcast guest, Terri Trespicio, is going to tell us–in fact, she wrote a whole book about it.

In Unfollow Your Passion, Terri —whose TEDx talk has more than seven million views—skewers the platitudes, inverts conventional wisdom, and calls into question everything you think you need to succeed: passion (fun, but fleeting), plans (flimsy at best), and a bucket list (eye roll), to name a few.
