I "was" one of those 80% and knew it, and was able to transition to something that I am passionate about. I'm still with the same company, doing a very similar job, but boy what a difference the change has made. I absolutely love what I do now, I'm making more money and I no longer need medication for stress management. It took a year to complete the transition, but I truly believe I will live a longer and happier life because of it. It took a leap of faith for me (and some rough times) to make the change, but WOW!!! what a difference. I'm hoping some of those 80% will read the Attwoods book.

I too am surprised to know that it's actually about 80% of people who aren't passionate about their work; what I am excited about however, is the knowledge of knowing that although I may presently be a part of the 80%, I am well on my way to becoming a part of the 20% who are passionate about what they do. We just can't get way from the 80/20 rule, can we? The issue of being passionate about what one does as his/her life’s work can not be over emphasized.

I find myself saying that a lot lately. Too many people don't have (or don't convey) any passion for what they do. I love people who are passionate! I look forward to checking this book out.
