If you refuse to trade your freedom for a career plan
These two books complete Tiny Experiment, forming a contemporary triptych on self-reinvention. They share one belief: life isn’t a checklist. Each offers a different path—play (Tiny Experiments), the leap (The Pathless Path), and the micro-step (The Power of Small) – but all lead to a freer, more grounded, more human way of living.
If Tiny Experiments is a compass for everyday life, The Pathless Path is the story of a bold detour, and The Power of Small is a gentle guide to taking back control.
The Pathless Path
Though first published in 2022, this book still resonates powerfully in 2025. Millerd shares his shift from a conventional career to a life driven by curiosity and experimentation. He challenges societal norms around success and offers an alternative centered on authenticity and flexibility.
His core message: there’s no predefined path to a meaningful life—you have to carve it out yourself through trial, intuition, and unexpected encounters, much like Anne-Laure Le Cunff suggests. It’s a philosophy rooted in slowness, exploration, and intentional downshifting—not a rejection of ambition, but a redefinition of it from within.
The Pathless Path is a liberating read for anyone feeling the quiet unease that “success” as traditionally defined isn’t enough. It’s a compass for those ready to step off the default road and start listening to their own voice. Read it if you’re ready to let go of the scripted plan—but not the desire for a full, rich, and radically personal life.
The Power of Small
Change your life without blowing it up—one tiny step at a time.
The Power of Small begins with a quietly radical idea in an age obsessed with career changes and total reinventions: you don’t have to overhaul everything to make a real change. Written by two psychologists trained in ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), this book is a call for gentle, grounded action rooted in what truly matters to you.
Far from the traditional “push yourself out of your comfort zone” mantras, The Power of Small offers an antidote to overwhelming goals and grand transformation plans. It starts with the everyday: one small move, one micro-decision, one meaningful step—no fireworks needed. Instead of chasing lofty ambitions, the authors invite you to pause, notice your emotions, welcome them, and act anyway—in spite of fear or self-doubt, and without self-violence.
At the core of their approach is committed action—not driven by external pressure or distant ideals, but aligned with your deepest personal values. It’s a philosophy of quiet momentum and sustainable growth. Change that doesn’t make noise—but reshapes your life from the inside out.
If you refuse to become a robot of the chaos
On the surface, Tiny Experiments and Disrupt With Impact tackle different realms — one explores micro life choices, the other macro-level disruption strategies. But they share a clear stance: a refusal to live or lead by rigid models. Both are manuals for emancipation. Both value experimentation, letting go, and grounding in core values. One helps you choose yourself. The other helps you choose the world you want to shape.
Disrupt With Impact
Roger Spitz doesn’t just advocate for disruption — he redefines how we think about the future, how we make decisions, how we create. This is not a naive ode to constant change, nor a startup manual fueled by adrenaline. It’s a radical strategic vision for our times: uncertain, nonlinear, chaotic — where only organizations that embrace the unknown with clarity stand a chance at long-term relevance.
Spitz speaks to those who want to anticipate rather than react. He introduces the concept of foresight strategy — the ability to detect weak signals, explore multiple futures, and treat uncertainty as a lever for transformation rather than an obstacle to planning. He emphasizes doubt, experimentation, and critical thinking as vital tools for decision-making.
What makes this book truly powerful is how it connects strategic thinking to ethical responsibility. Disruption alone isn’t enough — it has to be responsible, sustainable, and aligned. Chaos only matters if it gives birth to fairer, more adaptable, more human systems. This is the rare convergence of systemic clarity and transformative will.
Disrupt With Impact rejects intellectual comfort, urges us to break from rigid thinking, and argues for a form of disruption that is sharp, equipped, and deeply grounded in reality.
