![]() It’s a book about recent trends which may make it less relevant in five years. It took longer than I expected to find the value in the author’s work, but there are original ideas, good stories, and resources worth revisiting in The Pathless Path. I like to rage about books before giving my five cents. It also outlines the recent trends and the future of working. The Pathless Path is at the intersection of self-help and business/money books. Though sharing the sixth point of view to back up a concept sounds good but makes the book less readable. Paul did his research and going through his footnotes is valuable by itself. It started to get a little bit boring here for me because of the repeated elements. After this Paul Millerd jumps between his personal story and explains it with the previously introduced concepts.We can find here exercises, good questions to ask, and valuable resources we can revisit later. Then the author borrows concepts, stories, and examples from others to back up his Pathless Path theory.The Pathless Path is started by the author sharing his personal journey, his challenges and doubts.But he does so much more (maybe too much). I had mixed feelings while reading Paul’s book.įirst I had the hunch that the only thing he does is revisit Tim Ferris’s 4-hour work week a few years later and point out possibilities on how others are hacking a living in the modern world. He shares his departure from the Default Path and his ongoing exploration of the Pathless Path. The author, Paul Millerd is a former strategy consultant turned writer, and digital creator. We follow the Default Path, while there are other options. Sometimes with the goal to be seen as successful, but often just because we don’t have better ideas. We choose schools, apply for jobs, buy houses and construct our life to be similar to our peers. We are looking for patterns and copying them our whole life.
