About this episode

Start Loving the Job You Hate 

Get the transcript at www.feelgoodenglish.com/member

Instead of changing jobs every six months, why don't you learn a way to start loving the job you currently have. 

There is a common philosophy out there that we have to follow our passion and find the perfect job based on what we love to do in life. 

Well finding a job based on your passion is often not even possible. But there is a way to enjoy the job you have a lot more, and in the book, "So Good They Can't Ignore You" by Cal Newport, you will learn: 

  • Why following your passion is a bad idea
  • Why more people today are dissatisfied with their jobs than in the past
  • What you should do instead of looking for the "perfect" job
  • What skills you should develop in today's competitive job market. 

Apply it to Your English Fluency 

In this episode, I will show you how you can take the lessons from the book and not only enjoy your job more, but see faster progress in your English speaking skills too. 

Listen up!
