The Pathless Path

Paul Millerd’s part-memoir, part-manifesto chronicles his departure from an elite management-consulting career to build a life outside conventional definitions of success. He questions the “default path” of prestige and steady employment, and explores what it means to design work around curiosity, health, and meaning instead. Honest about the fear and financial uncertainty involved, the book has become a touchstone for knowledge workers rethinking ambition. A thoughtful companion for anyone tempted to leave the well-worn road.
