Instead, the forgiving third-person camera lets you swing it around to auto-target gems. Having said that, 3 stars since it is a good book for someone contemplating to get off the beaten path.The shooting doesn’t require a lot of skill because developer Giant Squid has completely removed the worry of precision aiming. And then - quotes a lot from other books and authors - the unfamiliar ones are good - but the familiar ones are the same people - from the circle from the US who talk to each other in TED talks, write and figure in each others books and are almost part of a rarefied social circle. The book is fairly repetitive at various points and mostly in the self indulgent manner. It is a bit too self indulgent - the author talks a lot about himself and moving from a developed country to Asia is well, not exactly off the beaten path considering the hippies did it decades ago. This breakdown is something I have not seen anywhere else. The break down of the journey, what might one encounter, what are the freedoms one experiences while choosing to go off the beaten path and how to make the most it. Review in one word - underwhelming, but magical in parts. "The writing is fantastic - Paul's writing is approachably poetic a quick read that weaves together his own experience moving from a 'default path' overachiever to a 'pathless path' seeker of passion and curiosity, deep research into the history of work and collections of perspectives from years of podcasting, friendship, conferences, and meetings with other 'alternative path' life-livers." You are in the grip of an invisible script that was not written for you." - Kris Abdelmessih If you have felt a gradual loss of agency in your direction you need this book. ![]() ![]() "If you have questioned your own path, or a nagging lack of intention in your choices you need this book. The advice is refreshingly non-prescriptive." "It's a rare book in that it is tangentially about careers and being more focused and productive, but unlike almost every other book I have read about these topics, I finished this one and felt better about myself and my career." 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. 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. The Pathless Path is about finding yourself in the wrong life, and the real work of figuring out how to live. From small-town Connecticut kid to the most prestigious consulting firm in the world, brushing shoulders with CEOs and with the resume to match. It takes a few wrong turns to find the right way.
