The Pathless Path & The Magic of Non-Doing with Paul Millerd

Paul and I first met 3 years ago at an event in Portland—he had recently left his job in corporate consulting and we bonded over how lost we'd both felt at times.

Later that week I gave him a copy of 'The Three Marriages' a book by David Whyte where he talks about the Pathless Path that is required for anyone looking to do or create something original.

Fast-forward to today and Paul has just published his first book — Called the Pathless Path — which is his roadmap of sorts for those of us who might have had the boldness to quit the default path & taking an experiment-based approach to figure out how to live well.

Some of the themes we dive into are:

🤔 How he has been exploring the magic of non-doing

❓ Some of the most powerful questions he uses during curiosity conversations with others who are looking to take the leap.

🎢 How to navigate the painful reality that family + friends might not understand his decisions to walk away from a successful career.

📚 Some of the things he believes hold most people back from living more intentionally & the big breakthrough moment he experienced in the midst of writing his book.
