#2150 Born for This by Chris Guillebeau

Joy, flow, and income aren’t mutually exclusive.

Today’s book: Born for This by Chris Guillebeau—a practical, encouraging guide to designing a career that brings together joy, mastery, and financial stability.

Here’s your 1-minute summary:

  • You’re not stuck. You can create a life and career that fits you—not the other way around.
  • Look for the “joy-money-flow” intersection. Your ideal work blends what you love, what you’re great at, and what people will pay for.
  • Experiment your way forward. Don’t wait for clarity—test ideas, try side projects, and learn by doing.
  • Don’t fear the pivot. If something isn’t working, shift. You’re allowed to evolve.
  • Success is personal. Define what “winning” looks like for you—and don’t let others write your script.

You weren’t born to settle. What’s one step you can take today toward the work you were meant to do?

As always, check out the app for the Philosopher's Note, Purpose 101, and Purpose 102 to help you gain more clarity on what you were born to do.
