What the hell is the passion economy? Does it exist? Does it matter?
A few months ago, my friend Sean Howard and I got very drunk on expensive white wine and strong Quebec beer (oy, the hangover!). We discovered that we share a passion for, um, passion. Over the following weeks, we met a couple of times to explore models of how passion affects people’s decisions, what passion means, how it’s measured, and to drink more wine.
I was very honored when Sean asked me to contribute the design for an e-book he was putting together specifically on passion and it’s role in the economy. Some seriously big-brained people. You may want to check the authors out on Twitter:

Beautiful work. Thanks to everyone involved in producing this; the subject couldn’t be more appropriate.
PS: Typo on the last paragraph of the last page. “This was a lot of fun. I hope is shows. – PF”

The editor raised the typo at the last hour but I made the call of going live. Was my fault, not Peter’s.
