The Pathless Path

Ebook

Imagining a New Story for Work and Life

For anyone who has followed the default script and still feels like something is off.

From a small-town Connecticut kid to the most prestigious consulting firm in the world, Paul had everything he thought he wanted. Yet he decided to walk away and embark on the "real work" of his life: finding the things that matter and daring to create a life to make them happen.

This Pathless Path is about finding yourself in the wrong life, and the real work of figuring out how to live. Through painstaking experiments, living in different countries, and the goodwill of people from around the world, Paul pieces together a set of ideas and principles that guide him from unfulfilled and burned out to the good life and all of the existential crises in between.

The Pathless Path is not a how-to book filled with “hacks”; instead, it is a vulnerable account of Paul’s journey from leaving a path centered around getting ahead and towards another, one focused on doing work that matters. This book is an ideal companion for people considering leaving their jobs, embarking on a new path, dealing with the uncertainty of an unconventional path, or searching for better models for thinking about work in a fast-changing world.

With 80k+ global sales, The Pathless Path is a surprise best-seller. The book has received attention from major publishers, including a 6-figure offer from a Big Five publisher (which was turned down), and is now translated into Hindi, Malayalam, Marathi, Russian, Chinese, and French.
