He is fascinated about how our relationship to work is shifting and how more people can live lives where they can thrive. Paul joined us today to talk about his book, ‘The Pathless Path: Imagining a New Story for Work and Life.’

In today’s episode, we dive deep into the complexities of life choices, societal expectations, and the pursuit of true fulfillment. Paul reflects on his journey as a parent and how his relationship has thrived amidst the challenges of early parenthood, challenging the notion that relationships must suffer during this time. 

We explore the value society places on work and money, and the rewards of opting into non-monetary aspects of life. We also discuss the power of intentionality in designing one’s path, the importance of avoiding burnout, and the concept of inversion as a technique for reimagining one’s actions and goals. 

Stay tuned as Paul unravels the intricacies of finding one’s own path in a world that often pushes us onto the default track.
