The Pathless Path

Imagining a New Story for Work and Life

Book • 2022

Author

Paul Millerd

The Pathless Path by Paul Millerd chronicles his journey from being a high-achieving consultant to embarking on a path of self-discovery and creating a life based on personal values and freedom.

The book explores the history of work, the concept of the 'default path' versus the 'pathless path,' and offers practical advice on how to navigate uncertainty, redefine success, and find meaning in one's life.

Millerd shares his experiences of living in different countries, facing existential crises, and developing principles that guide him towards a more fulfilling life.

The book is an invitation to readers to question their current path and consider a more unconventional, yet meaningful, way of living.
