Maybe I found it interesting because I didn't reflect on my skillset in combination with the goals I have before, I just followed my interests. I don't know Gladwell or Pink enough to know whether this is a rehash of them. What books from Dan Pink would you advise?

What I got out of it is that I should focus on improving my skillset to achieve long-term happiness, as doing work that you're good at, that provides challenges and is fun, is the most satisfying work. Just focussing on what is fun isn't a good strategy.
