Zen & The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
- probably_wrong 12y agoI use the book's definition of "quality" (or one of them) as my to-go mechanism whenever I have to explain why I think something is bad art. It's a shame that not even the author seems to like the definition.
- echoless 12y agoI read this book a few years back and while I found it quite interesting as a story, I did not glean any major insights from it. It most likely has to do with my own ignorance about philosophy, but all I got from the book was that the author hates Aristotle and rigorous classification. And that quality is a more important property than morality.
- jeffbush 12y agoI liked the part where he talks about gumption traps. Very relevant if you've worked on a big project.
