IF YOU'RE bored with your job or looking to start the new year by finding a more fulfilling career, you may find well-meaning friends suggesting that it is time for you to "find your passion".
An Amazon search brings up over 500 life-improving personal development books with "Find Your Passion" (or variations on the theme) as their title. It is also a phrase that frequently crops up in motivational college graduation speeches - find something you love doing and work will never seem like work again.
Such advice is invariably well-intended, but is it actually good advice?
