Skill and ability trump passion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Inspired by  former Apple CEO Steve Jobs' famous Stanford University commencement  speech in which Jobs urges idealistic grads to chase their dreams,  Newport takes issue with that advice, claiming that not only is thsi  advice Pollyannish, but that Jobs himself never followed his own advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e From  there, Newport presents compelling scientific and contemporary case  study evidence that the key to one's career success is to find out what  you do well, where you have built up your 'career capital,' and then to  put all of your efforts into that direction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44791112761523,"sku":"9780349420219","price":399.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17478111349780349420219.jpg?v=1762851666"}],"url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/collections\/cal-newport-2.oembed","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
