Stanford professors Bill Burnett and Dave Evans, authors of 'Designing Your Life,' argue that the common advice to 'follow your passion' is misguided. According to Burnett, most people do not have a single, all-consuming passion, making the advice confusing and potentially harmful. He cited research by Stanford scholar Bill Damon indicating that less than 20% of people have a clear passion. Burnett also questioned the notion that a college degree should determine one's life direction.
