Hey friends, in this video I talk about one of the best books I read last year called The Pathless Path by Paul Millerd. I absolutely loved it and I think you will too. It’s a freeing book to read and reminds us that there is more to life than work and fulfilling societal expectations. If you’re having any kind of career struggles, I definitely recommend checking it out. Enjoy x
