From Theory to Practice

The current chapter aims to give some examples of the link between the theory of passion and practice. In the first section, we show some ideas about how we can think with regard to increasing interests and passions in individuals throughout their lifespan. In the second section, we propose how society can work with passion development on a system level. An example of our Ignition project in the primary school in Iceland is presented. In the third section, we will share some thoughts about obstacles in passion development and the interesting interaction between passion and meaning in life. In the fourth section, we will give some examples of thinking from theory to practice.
