You 2.0: The Passion Pill

You’ve probably heard the saying, “Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” The idea is that pursuing your passion will feel invigorating — almost magical. But passions can easily wane over time. This week, behavioral scientist JonJachimowicz looks at how to keep our passions alive, and how to channel old passions into new pursuits.
