Episode notes
Mastery Can Create Passion
- Passion often follows mastery rather than precedes it; skill development makes work enjoyable and valued.
- Cal Newport argues you become passionate when you become so good they can't ignore you.
Build Work Around Three Needs
- Seek autonomy, competence and relatedness to feel motivated and sustain passion.
- Work that provides these three elements will feel more meaningful over the long term.
Feedback And Apprenticeship Matter
- The apprenticeship model and consistent feedback accelerate mastery and motivation.
- Modern work often lacks this feedback loop, which reduces sustained effort toward mastery.
