The case against passion

In this month's Sunday Telegraph column, I discuss my least favorite question in the world:

"What's your passion?"

Seriously, I hate that question. It makes me flinch and tighten and stammer. What's more, I think it's not an especially useful question for finding one's path.

Maybe you'll agree. Maybe you won't. Just don't get all passionate on me.
