It takes a few wrong turns to find the right way.
Paul Millerd thought he was on his way. From small-town Connecticut kid to the most prestigious consulting firm in the world, brushing shoulders with CEOs and with the resume to match.
The 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 Millerd 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.
This book is a personal journey of awakening and 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.

原文摘录 · · · · · ·

- What was I living for? What did I really want? How did I want to look back on my life when it was my time to go? (查看原文)

Work is an invented term. There doesn’t have to be work, just choose the type of life you’re committed to

十分真诚的一部作品。最近看的书都是这个主题，我是要take a bold leap了吗？default path许了虚假的安全感和意义，可到头来不安全感是人的本性，不能被根除，且现实世界变化如此之快，很可能顷刻间打破这个幻想。而意义又必须是个人主动去寻去摸索的，外界强加的意义跳过了agency，反而造成极权社会或个人更大的虚无。如此说来，pathless path是一定要选的那条路，在认清了这一切... 十分真诚的一部作品。最近看的书都是这个主题，我是要take a bold leap了吗？default path许了虚假的安全感和意义，可到头来不安全感是人的本性，不能被根除，且现实世界变化如此之快，很可能顷刻间打破这个幻想。而意义又必须是个人主动去寻去摸索的，外界强加的意义跳过了agency，反而造成极权社会或个人更大的虚无。如此说来，pathless path是一定要选的那条路，在认清了这一切，且想要take my life seriously.

当一个精英白男不想上班，我学到了什么
为什么要看一个生于发达国家，原生家庭幸福，顶着MIT麦肯锡光环的白男讲述他逃离主流道路（aka上班）的艰难险阻？他知道他的生活有多privileged，大洋另一端的民间疾苦吗？作为一个不想上班的普通亚女，我真的可以学到什么吗？ 这是我刚开始读这本书时的想法，我以为这又是一个... (展开)

东亚人能走pathless path吗
