I was similarly impressed when reading the first chapter of SICP (https://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/ https://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/), which shows the same code examples. In a very few elegant lines, without explaining much syntax, some very fundamentals of computing are explained. I can only recommend to read the book, even if "Lisp programmer" is not on the career plan.
