Paul Millerd is obviously someone who reads a lot. So good that you’ll need the physical book too! This book is an ideal companion for people considering leaving their jobs, embarking on a new path, dealing with the uncertainty of an unconventional path, or searching for better models for thinking about work in a fast-changing world. The Pathless Path is not a how-to book filled with “hacks” instead, it is a vulnerable account of Paul’s journey from leaving a path centered around getting ahead and toward another, one focused on doing work that matters.

Through painstaking experiments, living in different countries and the goodwill of people from around the world, Paul pieces together a set of ideas and principles that guide him from unfulfilled and burned out to the good life and all of the existential crises in between.

This Pathless Path is about finding yourself in the wrong life, and the real work of figuring out how to live.
