What if work isn't just something you do, but a portal to a life where you can feel fully alive? In Good Work, Paul Millerd invites us to question everything we thought we knew about work. Paul traces his winding path through candid personal stories: from chasing elusive "good jobs," to desperately seeking escape from worldly responsibilities, to an unexpected discovery that changed everything. Sitting at a table halfway around the world, a profound question emerged: What if work doesn't have to suck? What if it can be the center of a life well-lived? This isn't a book about climbing the corporate ladder or "crushing it" as a creator or entrepreneur. It's an exploration of what happens when you dare to question everything you've been told about work and its role in our life. Throughout this book, you'll encounter thought-provoking questions about work and life. What does "good work" really mean beyond just having a job? Can embracing uncertainty lead to greater fulfillment? What lies beyond the pursuit of career success, and is there a new source of motivation waiting to be discovered? How can you prioritize family without sacrificing opportunity? And perhaps most importantly, what does true ambition look like - is it measured by external achievements or internal growth? These questions will guide you to reconsider your own path and what matters most in your life and work. What began as an escape attempt became a mission to redefine work. Good Work challenges conventional wisdom, offering not a step-by-step guide, but a companion for those brave enough to question the status quo and seek a more ambitious life path.
