Not sure if I agree with this definition of passion. I've always considered passion to be neutral. It's what drives you to do anything in life (make apps, make war, make love). But how you channel that passion into doing something either productive or unproductive is what matters.
But going with the article, startup founders definitely need at least a little bit of what he calls "obsessive" passion.
- lchengify 15y agoAgreed. I think passion, even "obsessive" passion, is only a problem if it impedes your ability to make rational decisions. Cutting your losses, getting sleep, exercise, visiting other (physical) humans ... these things are important for mental health. Be passionate, just know your limits, brush your teeth, and take a break every other weekend. You'll be fine.
