Books that tell you what to do, not how it works.

We publish plain-language guides for people who are tired of being handed a manual written for someone half their age. Short chapters, large type, and no step that needs a technician.

About

Why the books read the way they do.

Most advice about safety, health or paperwork is written by people who already understand the subject, for readers who already understand it too. The result is a lot of instructions that assume you know where to click.

ClearPath books start from the opposite end. Every chapter answers one question, in the order a person actually runs into it, and stops there. If a step needs someone else's help, we say so instead of pretending otherwise — and we never suggest that falling for a scam, or losing track of a document, says anything about you.
