About this book:- A penetrating examination of how we live and how to live better
- Few books transform a generation and then establish themselves as touchstones for the generations that follow. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is one such book. This modern epic of a man's search for meaning became an instant bestseller on publication in 1974, acclaimed as one of the most exciting books in the history of American letters. It continues to inspire millions.
- A narration of a summer motorcycle trip undertaken by a father and his son, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance becomes a personal and philosophical odyssey into fundamental questions on how to live. The narrator's relationship with his son leads to a powerful self-reckoning; the craft of motorcycle maintenance leads to an austerely beautiful process for reconciling science, religion, and humanism. Resonant with the confusions of existence, this classic is a touching and transcendent book of life.
- This new edition contains an interview with Pirsig and letters and documents detailing how this extraordinary book came to be.

After working on cars, homes and anything else that's broken, getting back into bikes is just heaven.

It blew my little mind and made me a much better person.
Actually went on to get a philosophy degree, which wouldn't have happened without this book.
Now I'm 50.
Time to revisit.
Thanks OP.

IT IS a philosophy book, and a difficult read at that. I have read it twice, and while I did not 'enjoy' the read, I can state that this book WAS WELL WORTH THE READ. This book allowed me (and others) to enhance methodology in addressing problems, real (mechanical) and personal.
