The Pathless Path

In his early 30s, Paul Millerd had everything he thought he wanted- a high-paying job working with CEOS and a long list of impressive achievements and credentials. Yet instead of feeling fulfilled, he sensed something was wrong. The Pathless Path is his story of leaving the "default path" and embarking on an uncertain but ultimately more fulfilling path. Upon leaving his job, Paul is forced to reckon with his own lack of wisdom about what he really wants. Through living in different countries, experimenting with working in different ways, and taking extended breaks from work, Paul is able to piece together a set of ideas and principles that help him find a way forward. That approach, the pathless path, is a philosophical roadmap for people who are searching for better ways of thinking about work and life in a fast-changing world.
