But rarely is passion something that you just stumble upon, and the same drive that fuels breakthroughs can be every bit as destructive as it is productive. Stulberg and Magness demystify passion, showing readers how they can find and cultivate their passion, sustainably harness its power, and avoid its dangers. They ultimately argue that passion and balance are incompatible, and that to find your passion, you must lose balance. And that's not always a bad thing. -- adapted from jacket ER -
