Something drew me to this book when I heard about it and I am glad that it did. “Wisdom Meets Passion” is a book about moving forward and doing something you are passionate about in your life. Why live in the mediocrity of the cubicle that you hate when you can use the wisdom you have gained during your life with the passion in your heart to pursue your dreams?
“Wisdom Meets Passion” is a collaboration between Dan Miller and his son Jared Angaza. The two compliment each other while giving the text their own perspective. If you have read either of Dan’s other books you are in for a change.
This book is an easy read and if you have ever listen to the “48 Days Podcast” you can hear Dan Miller’s voice while you are reading it like he is talking to you. Why? Because he is. It is a wake up call to a multitude of people who are not doing what they love to do, are pursuing careers to make someone else happy, or because they think it is what is responsible “adult” thing to do.
This is not a career guide like “48 Days.” This is a “get off your butt” guide that really helps with that push to get you going.
Jared’s points of views from living in Africa are excellent and fit very well in this book. I would love to see him write a book of his own about his journey growing up to where he is living today on the African coast.
I would highly recommend to anyone who is stuck wishing or dreaming they were doing something else with their life. Working with a non-profit, wanting to open their business, or ready to change the world? Pick up this book for a kick start.
“Start with what you have. If you wait until you have the confidence you need to do a job search, the education you need before you are a great candidate, or the money you need to start a business, you’ll never start anything. Start today. Start walking toward your ultimate success.” Dan Miller
