Finding your passion, living the dream

Although passion is often said to be essential for living a meaningful life, it is a slippery concept, encompassing everything from desire and identity to self-knowledge and, ultimately, happiness. But what exactly is passion? How do we identify it? How can we find it and nurture it? How do we harness it so that we can live our most extraordinary life? And what might that life look like? In his third book, Finding Your Passion, Living the Dream, entrepreneur and forest-industry disruptor John A. Brink delves deeply into his well of experience to answer these questions. John has been driven and guided by passion all his life, from the difficult early years in his native Holland to his emigration, at age 25, to Prince George, British Columbia, with no grasp of English and only $25.47 to his name. This is a man who embodies passion in everything he does, from running his many businesses and advising the government of British Columbia on forestry policy to pursuing his outside interests - competitive body building, dressage riding, and philanthropy, to name a few. John lives by a specific that attitude + passion + work ethic will inevitably lead to success. All three elements are vitally important - but passion is the "mother sauce," the base that makes all the rest possible. In this remarkable book, John uncovers the meaning of passion and explores how making it central to your life will unlock your true potential, leading to happiness, satisfaction, and - however you define it - success.
