AI source guide
How can I apply this idea: Millerd names the 'default path', study hard, get a good job, keep climbing indefinitely, as a script almost everyone inherits and few examine, and traces his own decade inside it to the moment a phrase from David Whyte, 'the pathless path,' gave him a name for the alternative?
How can I apply this idea: Millerd traces his climb from grade-hacking college student to McKinsey consultant to MIT MBA, and shows how a health crisis with chronic Lyme disease was the first real crack in an identity built entirely on achievement?
How can I apply this idea: Millerd steps back from his own story to trace where modern beliefs about work come from, a Protestant 'calling' layered onto a post-WWII economic anomaly, and argues the expectation that work should also be meaningful is a very recent, largely unmet promise?
