I dislike this book also. It's an overrated classic.
The Slickdeal's Bookclub! I love it.
But seriously I've never read it - how long and heavy of a read is it, and based on that was it worth your time?
The second level is about how to think about and relate to everything and everyone in one's. That's the "Zen" part, that also touches on the first level. The third level is a sort of analysis of the often neurotic modern western world and the way people behave in it, rushing everything and rarely stopping to just be in the moment and breath without any concern for past or present, and how people would benefit from a more zen-like approach to everyday life.
The fourth level is the story itself, of the author's road trip across the country with his son and a married couple he's good friends with, all on motorcycle, and how it's really the best way to see the country, on ground level as with a car, train or bus, but exposed to the elements to you can really feel, breath, hear and smell things (I guess a bicycle accomplishes this as well, albeit a lot more slowly). It's very loosely sort of an On The Road for people who've moved past their shiftless and restless youth phase, but don't read too much into that, it's very much its own work. Probably closer to Blue Highways in spirit, really. I love road books.
Just read it. Most people will be better off for it and enjoy it, a lot. Just don't rush it.
This book is philosophy for the masses. Easy to chew, quick to digest. Enjoyable enough and if you work in tech you might as well read it because it will be namedropped, eventually.
