Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Finished reading "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" few months back.
An interesting book. The main take out for me was the concept of uniting one with the work he/she is doing. The state of harmony, of pure problem solving, that is free from impatience and anxiety.
The book also contains a bit of a tutorial for some philosophical concepts. The book is not exactly a primer of philosophy, nor a story telling narrative. It's a bit of a mix between the two. And it seems to me that the author also wanted to tell his own side of his life story, providing perhaps justifications and/or explanation.
Through Wikipedia, I found the text for the book.
