The Pathless Path
Imagining a New Story for Work and LifeBy Paul Millerd
Length6h 13m
About this audiobook
Paul thought he was on his way.
From small-town Connecticut to the most prestigious consulting firm in the world, he had everything he thought he wanted. Yet he walked away to begin the "real work" of his life: finding what matters and building a life around it.
The Pathless Path is about finding yourself in the wrong life, and the real work of figuring out how to live. Through painstaking experiments, life in different countries, and the goodwill of people around the world, Paul pieces together ideas and principles that take him from burned out and unfulfilled to the good life, with all the existential crises in between.
Not a how-to book filled with "hacks," it's a vulnerable account of Paul's journey from a path of getting ahead toward one of doing work that matters. An ideal companion for anyone considering leaving a job, starting a new path, navigating an unconventional one, or seeking better models for work in a fast-changing world.
