To me, that book comes across pretty preachy and doesn't offer little in nuance between knowledge work and manual labor, a la starting a motorcycle repair business badly. It also had this "guy switches careers and needs to write a book to justify it" feel. But I also consider Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance pretty mediocre, while others consider it life changing, so not sure how valid my opinion is.
