Consider Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M. Pirsig. Recommended by 25 sources.
“You’re strapped into a mental road trip where every roadside repair becomes a treatise on Quality. Pirsig’s narrator, haunted by a former self, meditates on technology and madness while struggling to connect with his son. The useful part: it rewires how you think about craft, reason, and what makes something ‘good.’ The frustration: the ride keeps stopping for lectures that some will find illuminating and others self-indulgent; the thin characters and dated psychology may leave you stranded.”
