Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is the self-told story of a middle-aged man and his son, Chris, who go on a motorcycling trip accompanied by an adult couple. The man describes what it is like to hear the wind moving across the plains, to see birds rise up from marshes next to the road, to ride through a ferocious storm, and to breath the fresh air of a mountain above the tree line. The author shows us that we won't live a great life by pursuing the answers through the rational mind only. If we can find a way to accept the abstract art, hippies and out-there thinkers, the world can be saved from the dullness of its mental structures. Paradoxically, accepting the unreasonable could be the lifeblood to our culture that is based on reason. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
