On: Hunter S. Thompson on Finding Your Purpose (1958)

Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams has recommended the systems approach vs. a goal-oriented approach. I think he explains it in a more accessible way. Here's his presentation pitching his book: Passion is Overrated and Goals are for Losers http://www.slideshare.net/Scottadams925/goals-are-for-losers...

He also writes about it in "How to fail at everything and still succeed" but probably in less depth since I think it's only a chapter.
