It kind of is, depends on how you look at it What people literally think when they hear "follow you passion" mantra, is "your work will be 100% pleasure". And this is what helps to sell these books that promise to teach you how to get there, or whatever it is they sell.

In reality I think there is no such thing as "100% pleasure job". I have heard a story about this acclaimed actor, who was praised as a genius. Was his job his passion? Of course it was, you can't achieve so much if you don't love what you do! Was it 100% pleasure? To the last day he was throwing up before the start of the show being terrified of going out on the stage and performing in front of so many people. Something to think about, right?
