Pathless Path

Last updated Feb 9, 2024

The Pathless Path is experimenting on your own to find a life you want to live vs. “getting ahead” on a script others follow – embracing uncertainty & discomfort. Whereas the opposite, the Default Path follows the planning/conforming path.

The book and the term Pathless Path inspired me to write my own story about my life, Finding My Pathless Path.

I went out of comfort early on My Pathless Path
here in short:

  • applied for a job in another canton
  • went to Australia for 15 weeks by myself
  • lived by myself as opposed to joining a shared flat
  • after 4 years, yet again out of comfort being a consultant 4 years
  • studying on the side while working as a consultant 90%
  • living in a foreign country
  • applying for a job in English
  • changing job to be a writer and 100% remote

I strongly believe, that the urge to follow the default path and continually climb the ladder is also not the right thing to do. Better follow your instincts, called “Pathless Path”. For anyone curious, I highly recommend the book by Paul Miller: The Pathless Path (Paul Millerd). Origin. ^8e02ba

A different Framing

The worst plan for the next two years, the best for the next 10. David Perell on Becoming A Citizen of The Internet about following his path or Intuition, and building a cohort around creating ideas.


Origin: Pathless Path is from the book The Pathless Path (Paul Millerd).
