So... about 7 years ago, Jeff Bonano sent me a well-loved copy of this book. I was really dragging and frustrated with my car at the time.
I learned that I wasn't asking the right questions... wasn't stepping back and seeing things for what they were. I found that copy of Zen yesterday and have been reading it again. It's good to refresh some of these lessons. I'm going to put this copy aside and save it for my son. It might be valuable to him someday. |

QUOTE(KaptKaos @ Oct 11 2011, 11:36 PM)  Gumption traps..... and "value rigidity" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Need to reread ZATAOMM myself. Another good (and related) read is Shop Class as Soulcraft by Matthew Crawford. Here's a link to his earlier essay on which the book is based: http://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications...ss-as-soulcraft and another ("while we're in there"): http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/books/2...aintenance.html |
