A few weeks ago, I offered my annual “Commencement Sampler” chocked full of advice (wanted or not) for the new grads. One of the offerings was Dr. Scott Galloway of “No Mercy, No Malice” fame being interviewed about the “The Algebra of Happiness.” (90 min).
During that interview he warned about the perennially offered commencement speech advice to “follow your passion.”
I suggest you share with a recent grad this short interview with Dr. Galloway on CNN’s “Smerconish” show yesterday in which he doubles down on that advice and warns new grads that “Follow Your Passion is ‘utter bull’ ” and that you should “Assume you are not ‘Beyonce.” (I hope it encourages you to take the time to watch “The Algebra of Happiness.”)
