In his book, Delivering Happiness, Tony Hsieh highlights the fact that most people don't know what will make them happy - specifically related to their careers.
Tony Hsieh is the initial investor and CEO of Zappos, and prior to Zappos, he founded LinkExchange and sold it to Microsoft for $265 million at the age of 24. Part of the deal was an earn-out contingent upon his continued involvement with LinkExchange. Several months after the deal closed, he walked away from LinkExchange leaving millions on the table; he found that he was no longer happy working there.
In his book, he cites Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs
"The fundamental premise behind Maslow's hierarch of human needs is that once a person's survival needs are met (food, safety, shelter, water, etc.), then humans are motivated by non-materialistic needs such as social status, achievement, and creativity."
This most recent Q&A I did with Scott Morris touches on this idea of identifying your passions and the right culture fit. I think it ties nicely into Tony's focus throughout on finding happiness.
