Short summary

What's it about?

Jonathan Fields rejects the tired advice to "find your passion" and offers a sharper diagnostic: your life runs on three buckets—Vitality, Connection, and Contribution—and your emptiest one is dragging the others down. Through his framework of five Sparks (Curiosity, Fascination, Immersion, Mastery, Service), Fields argues that purpose isn't discovered but built by following what pulls you forward. The three laws of buckets reveal why willpower alone fails and why honest self-assessment is the only starting point.

You'll learn:

- Why your emptiest bucket sabotages the full ones

- How curiosity outperforms passion as a life guide

- Which of the five Sparks can reignite stalled momentum
