Paul, I voted for "The Search for Good Work" over the other options. Both were directional, where this one resonated as a positive ("I'm going TOWARDS this...") and the others were negations ("...AWAY from.").

The Search for Good Work - felt less 'click bait' and more positive - has a philosophical vibe to it.

Like the Aligned: The Search for Good Work suggestion in the comments as well. Because that is one of the main points of the Pathless Path: to feel aligned mentally, physically, and emotionally to the work we do.

I share your thoughts on paid subscriptions. We’re bombarded by so many from software companies, streaming services, creators, and others. It takes time and effort just to manage and declutter our subscriptions now.

Regarding the book title, would something like this be an option?

Yes! Love the turning off of subscriptions. You are a such a leader in this way, always finding ways to leave the cattle shoot of conventional attention herding and monetizing. I've been thinking a lot about one-time payment models as well and you're inspiring me. Re the title, I like: Hardly Working: Though would suggest a possible re-work of the subtitle to, "How I Found Good Work By Losing My Edge"

Great post. If the poll results don't show a landslide, it would be cool to see a run-off of the top 2 choices.
