Most people don’t love their jobs—and that’s not only normal, it might be healthier. Jay Schwedelson unpacks the toxic myth that everyone should “do what they love” and explains why chasing passion often backfires. He shares why he doesn’t love his own job (and why that’s fine), what actually matters more than love, and how redefining career fulfillment might be the smarter move.
