Publisher's Description
Today we face a unique dichotomy between the wisdom of the Baby Boomer generation and the passion of Generation Y. According to Wisdom Meets Passion, the question is not which is right, but rather how can the two work together? Wisdom, meet passion. Passion, wisdom. By bringing these two voices to the issue, this book takes readers through familiar plights, such as understanding the American Dream, the quest for security, and work that matters—regardless of age. Through candid storytelling, Dan Miller and Jared Angaza uncover various generational approaches to work, money, success, and relationships, proving that it is possible to be both passionate and wise..

“My friend Dan Miller has been teaching people how to discover their life’s calling for more than twenty years, and his best student just may be his son Jared Angaza. These two guys are as different as night and day, but when you combine Dan’s old-school wisdom with Jared’s cutting-edge passion, you get a solid, comprehensive plan for attacking your life and career goals.”
“The message presented in this book leaves the door open to two dangerous outcomes. The first is that readers might not take it seriously and continue their lives of mediocrity, thinking small and dismissing the truth held in their hands, thereby denying a surefire call to live out the fullness of who they were created to be. The second and far more dangerous risk is that they believe what is offered here and embark on a journey that drastically alters their lives and the lives of countless others. It won’t be safe. It won’t be secure. Not by the world’s standards. But it will be epic. It will be worthy. It will be true. Either way, it’s a risk. Which will you choose?”
“What is more important, wisdom or passion? According to Dan Miller and Jared Angaza, both. They make the brilliant case that you can’t succeed in today’s world—let alone be satisfied—by focusing on one at the expense of the other. Thankfully, they show us how to get more of each, using their unique generational perspectives to add depth and texture to the journey.”
“The message of Wisdom Meets Passion is not only inspiring; it is powerfully effective. If you want abundance—in terms of meaning and money—read Dan and Jared’s book, and apply what you learn. Your life will be richer for it.”
“Dan and Jared masterfully illuminate the need for finding and releasing the wisdom and passion in each of us, thus leading to an extraordinary life. Whether you are eighteen or eighty, you’ll benefit from the principles laid out here.”
“I’ve known Dan for nearly two decades, and I’ve never failed to notice that sparkle in his eye—the result of an explosive mix of wisdom and passion. He’s got it, and I highly recommend you learn from him. You will never be the same.”
“There must be a balance between accumulating knowledge and developing fulfilling relationships. This book will be especially helpful to employers hiring, training, and promoting generation Y employees.”
“I can’t think of better guides than Dan and his son Jared to illuminate both sides of the same coin. Passion and wisdom bridge the chasm of generational perspectives that needlessly separate us.”
“None of us wants to live a mediocre life. In this book Dan and Jared shine light on the exciting process of blending wisdom and passion for a born-to-win life. If you are ready to really live the life you were born to have, then this book is a must for you.”
“Wisdom provides the daily insight you need to make it for the long-haul. Passion is the love required to live and work with excellence. These two powerful engines never produce alone what they create together. Dan and Jared demonstrate this beautiful harmony as father and son, wisdom and passion, and provide a grand invitation for cross-generational enterprise.”
“Wisdom Meets Passion is an artful approach to life, business, philanthropy, and authentic success. I have personally witnessed Jared’s passion and results-oriented humanitarianism in Africa. And I have experienced Dan’s provocative wisdom through his paradigm-shifting books. Here we get the best of both. A must-read for anyone who cares about creating a better world for themselves and others.”

“Dan and Jared brilliantly weave the explanation behind the compelling equation that sculpts your life. All You’ve Learned from Your Past + Your Dreams, Passions, and Plans for Your Future = How You Can Succeed Today.”
“It’s not just about wisdom and passion—this inspiring book redefines security for multiple generations, offering clear steps, surprising examples, and hope. This book will change the world!”
“Wisdom Meets Passion provides a unique and refreshing perspective regarding what being successful really means. It challenges one to be introspective and chart a course of success based on personal goals with regard to a purposeful life; rather than materialistic societal definitions of success.”
“Wisdom Meets Passion is one of those books that I will read over and over again. Both writers have told their stories in an honest, loving, artistic light. This is the kind of read you want to give to everyone you love.”
“Brilliantly done. The father and son writing team weave together a modern-day classic. Jared’s raw emotion and expressive writing style are a wonderful compliment to the tried-and-true messages that are always part of Dan Miller’s writings.”
“Contained within the covers of this book is the quote that will change your life! Whether you’re in need of fresh inspiration . . . new direction . . . or the gumption to begin what you’ve always dreamed but never dared, this book will serve you. In a literary world of How-to monologues, this book stands apart as a Why-to conversation about the stuff that makes life matter. If you’ve been looking for the book that will pull you out of the mire of monotony and into the fray of impassioned living, you found it!”
