Is The Pathless Path Worth Reading?
Imagining a New Story for Work and Life
by Paul Millerd
Ada’s Score
Paul Millerd left a prestigious McKinsey consulting career to wander — literally and philosophically — toward a more meaningful working life. Drawing on thinkers from Thoreau to Alan Watts alongside his own experience, he builds a compelling case against the 'default path' of prestige and salary maximisation. The book is part philosophical manifesto, part practical guide for anyone questioning what work is actually for. It became a cult favourite in the indie creator and career-change communities before finding a wider audience.
“Quietly radical. Millerd doesn't tell you what to do — he just makes the alternative feel genuinely possible.”
