Be Rare & Valuable: SO GOOD THEY CAN'T IGNORE YOU by Cal Newport

[@jonathanhoffman5609]

Why people love their work: Creativity - Improvise your work and implement your ideas. Control - Have some say of how, when and where your work gets done. Impact - Work has positive influence on customers or co-workers. Develop a rare and valuable skill set: • Scrap passion mindset then 1. Take up craftsman mindset. • Willingness to improve craft 2. Take on challenging projects. • Take on challenging projects that few other people are willing to do. • Will force you to learn skills that few other people have. • Niche projects 3. Daily Deliberate Practice • A. Periods of undistracted focus • B. Cycle between comfort and discomfort • C. Feedback & Expert Guidance

[@tywebb1989]

I'm glad you opted for a craftsman mindset. These videos are invaluable and greatly appreciate you putting these together. I've read many of these books but your ability to distill the concepts and share your insights make these A++. Thanks and keep up the great work.

Outline of So Good They Can't Ignore You: 1. Increased Competency = Increased Passion: The better you get at a mildly interesting job, the more likely it will become your calling, so it doesn't matter whether you follow your passion or not. 2. People Love Their Work for 3 Reasons: *Creativity, Control, & Impact* - If you follow your passion but don't have these 3 reasons, your passion will fade with time. 3. *Craftsman Mindset* (What can I offer the world?) over Passion Mindset (What can the world offer me?) 4. Take on Challenging Niche Projects: This will force/allow you to develop rare and valuable skills that no one else has. 5. Daily Deliberate Practice

Thank you very much for this summary. God bless you. Stay safe.😊

[@taxledgeradvisor]

Thanks buddy. You saved my 8 minutes

[@thehorde4868]

Thanks bro

[@TheJacklwilliams]

@@taxledgeradvisor Yet the person who created this brought more to the table then a bulleted summary. I'm with you, I try to cut corners as often as is possible, save time, money, etc... However, sometimes we can miss an experience that is enlightening and more fulfilling than "bottom line it for me". Anyway.... Namaste.

[@mahjongtiles8389]

Thanks a million. When I heard this advice of not following one's passion and rather becoming really good at what you're doing, I became confused because they sounded similar to me because I thought that people will try to become good at only those things which interest them or in which they have even a little bit of passion. But your first point of this book's summary cleared my doubt. The work will become one's passion when one starts to grow one's competence in it. This work can range from mildly interesting to super interesting for the person. It is better to explore your interests and then try to grow your competence. Eventually, you will become an expert in one of your interests as you strive for it. *"Follow your passion"* says that you have to _find the perfect work_ for you which exists somewhere and you should not stop till you find it. *"So good they can't ignore you"* says that you should _try to become perfect at the work_ you're doing.

1) Have a craftsmanship mindset. Where your goal is to become better at something. Not a passion mindset where you want to enjoy what you do. 2) Take on niche challenges that others would maybe normally stay away from. 3) Execute using the PEAK technique as taught by Anders Ericsson. Where you are challenging yourself at the limit of your capabilities during 30-60 minutes of un-distracted slots of times. Get feedback on your execution. And use your creativity and visualization to come up with ways to simplify your process.

Passion does not last. This video explains it well.

[@RashidKapadia]

Very nice--as always. Love these animated book summaries. We are all better off because you switched from passion to craftsman while creating these KZbin video reviews. Keep going! GOOD LUCK.

[@laceup10]

Or apply the craftsman mindset to something you’re passionate about

[@iestynovich]

Totally agree with you. Not heard anyone else say it.

[@jehielmutia1744]

how crafty of you 😂

[@promcoordinator2747]

Great point lol

[@kagelevelofficial]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but what if you don't know what your passion is? It's a fuzzy word. The point I got from this video is that in that case, adopting a craftsman mindset can help you find your passion and the positive reinforcement of having both can help you progress. ☺️🙌🏽

[@jameswub]

@@kagelevelofficial Nobody knows what their "passion" is. Passion is emotion, it comes and goes. The words been overused to the point where it's impact means very little anymore. Change it with interest. What interests you? If you don't know, it just means you haven't read about a topic that interests you or changes your life in a positive way. Luckily solving this is incredibly easy. Just start doing and reading new things. Head to the Library and start browsing sections of books. Open it up, check out the chapters and see if it makes you curious. I found a book on sleep the other day. "The Business of Sleep by Vicki Culpin". I'm now interested in sleep. If I pursue this interest, I will learn and can share it with others in my own creative way. Some would call this passion. It's just pursuing an interest. If you see saw someone biking, skateboarding, rock climbing, snowboarding and you want to try. You're interested. Now go try it. The more you practice trying new things, the easier it becomes. Better to start now than later anyway. Remember there are millions of new things to try, don't lose perspective. You won't find it watching other peoples interests and perspectives on KZbin. You have to go out and find your own. This is a simple book review. It's expected that you've already read the book and found something interesting about it. If you only pay attention to simple summaries, you will never build much interest. Interest has to do with a depth of information.

[@naveedhossain6605]

This channel can really turn someone's life around for the better. Thank you so much for all your hard work! All of us wholeheartedly appreciate it!

[@imakemusique]

The passion theory is an interesting one. I feel the premise that I got from the book summary which is "if you only follow your passion because you think it will be easy, your going to give up when the going gets rough" offers a limited scope of what benefits there are in following something you are truly interested in and curious about. Having that curiosity and willingness to understand something fully will make you more inclined to pursue it completely. Would appreciate some feedback / reflections.

[@tylarhellmrich3159]

I listen to all of his stuff on a playlist at work I learn so much every night . Thank you for creating these core messages they are on point.

[@idesel]

Your videos are Damn Good bro. Surely it took Deliberate Practice to achieve this level of competence.

[@katelily7619]

A) My job involves Control, Creativity, and Impact, which is why I love it despite the measly pay. B) I have a Rare & Valuable Skill Set, which I am often complimented on. C) Unfortunately, no matter how great my work quality is, it's always overshadowed by social problems (HFA - Aspergers). Bosses always value popularity contest over work quality.

Before I watch this I absolutely love my "job", my career really. I work as a structural engineer (fresh graduate) and I love the variety of projects and obstacles I encounter. Not only this, but I apply this knowledge to different aspects of my life such as building fast cars, and 3d printing.

[@KieranThompsonMusic]

Hi there, I'm an aspiring music producer and DJ and these videos are excellent. I'm using them to improve my mindset and work ethic. Within the past year and a half I have completely learnt to make electronic music from scratch and have learnt how to DJ too. I currently have a potential record label asking for tracks and a remix that I produced with 400k streams on soundcloud. I want to thank you for all your effort you've put into these productions. They clearly take a lot of time! If one day I break through into the music scene I would love to give something back to you for helping me and so many others. Really be proud of what you've done with this channel, I wish more channels had similar content you provide. You are a great example to the youtube community and I hope you get the recognition you deserve. Thank you for all your hard work.

[@k27ism]

For the past two years I have been evolving mildly towards this course of progress. Having to sacrifice what I thought were my passions for what seemed to be boring and uninteresting. I am someone who likes to plan ahead and I tried doing things to get me breaking through the jungle. It certainly was not easy and very difficult because I had to put in effort and learn skills in areas I didn't easily get that well. I took many subjects and challenges from science in high school then decided it was time to move on and switched to law. I had other passions but I stuck with this choice because I wanted to prove to myself if I had the wits to get around it. I can say that this video is on point. Even if you do have a passion on something if that passion is like fire it can die out any time so you have to feed it with wood every time. Unlike skill and patience which can be collected and applied across freely and widely across anything. I didn't know it yet but I was working for the skills not passion and yes often I questioned myself but I would not doubt my decision to make the calls when it really mattered. I am of course still learning but the most realest thing to me is having to look back and be pleased that despite shortcomings and many failures along the road I was eventually settling on the right way. Often I remind myself what I am doing and why. And I get it done. I ask questions and I am not afraid to go for the initiative and cease the opportunity or resume the advantage. If I am not winning now I will win again. If I am doing something wrong I am doing something right. I have an executive board meeting with myself and everyone I acknowledge as my collective experience to distil advice from. I make a plan or routine and remain loyal to it no matter the event. Keeping consistent and persistent like a headless zombie cockroach because I read somewhere those little fuckers can even survive a nuclear zone. Over time I realize it kinda gets lonely but I am not alone. I have me, you guys who also struggle and suffer to succeed in your lives, and good company from above to guide me.

[@clivegayle5108]

[@littleindian99]

I read this book in the past and have to say I only partially agree with his approach. What about all the people that do find a passion early on that follow that route? What about environments where control is always changing because of changing leadership at work? What if the impact is high but the recognition is low do to poor managment? What if creativity is not so much of an option such as in regulated work environments? Typically jobs that re simpler in their function can have less creativity. Some questions...

[@eldadart7946]

Scrap the passion mindset?Seriously? Why on earth will this video say the passion mindset will make people say 'what can the world offer me?'I totally understand the idea of the craftsmanship mindset,and I understand that not everyone starts with something they are passionate about,with time they developed that skill.BUT it's a big mistake to tell someone to scrap the passion mindset.We all have something that we are passionate about,it's a matter of putting in the time to work on that thing we have passion for.Many successful people today started with what they loved(passionate about) be it in sports,technology,business,TV shows,art and design,music,to name a few.In summary, passion for something is even what will keep you standing in that Job/career when the rough times come.

[@yogeshd007]

To anyone that might read my cmment,following your passion is not total b.s unless you are passionate about bs things.We all have genuine curiosity on different areas and following them enables you to be good at something in a way you cant be replaced because you are also asking questions not everybody is asking.You end up developing what naval in in his famous tweet called "specific knowledge" because its knowledge so unique to you.Its knowledge society cant really train everyone and therefore you cant be replaced.Maybe the framing is wrong but followingyour passion can be really useful but like I said unless your passion isn't useful to people

How does this book or Newport respond to the changing nature of employment? Today and in years to come, people won't be in jobs for 10+ years - not long enough to obtain creativity, control and impact.

Thankyou. Till now I had passion mindset. But now I am into craftsmanship mindset and difference is visible

[@SwnkyTiger]

Pursuing a passion simply means you are more likely to enjoy the foundational work of building the ability or skill involved in said passion. Sustainable passion comes from meeting and managing reasonable goals and challenges (like in a video game) on a somewhat consistent basis. Complete a goal, feel good about succeeding. The greater the perceived challenged the greater the sense of accomplishment usually. Troubles lie in our perception or expectation in the ability to complete the goal. (i.e. "Don't bite off more than you can chew") This is exactly why regardless of how stupid or pointless I think something might be, I absolutely love and appreciate seeing it done well.
