We are encouraged throughout our lives to find our area of expertise. Trained to navigate our education and higher learning into a progressively more narrow and specialized field. And while you must devote yourself initially to your chosen profession, the story of your success must include the width and breadth of your passions. Jenna Stern posits that it is not only possible but also vital to maintain the full complement of your interests: Creative Pluralism. It is from those first loves and interests that you will be buoyed when the bottom falls out and you find yourself rudderless. Those passions that brought you to your profession will help you find a way back on course.
