Taking the road less traveled

In listening to this audio, one gets a good sense of the author's pursuit of the truth.

Through motorcyling with his son Chris and friends in the midwest, they encounter within themselves and others, thoughts, feelings and truths that might never have been discovered.

The challenge of this kind of trip forces you to look inward for strength, determination and trust. You become your own best friend.

As the author moves onto the philosophy of life and being, he has done some serious introspective. So much so that he has become at times delusional and out of step with society, which he blames for many of the problems that he is facing as well as others on this path.

One has to agree with the author that our western society has made it almost impossible for one to follow his/her own path. There are so many distractions along the way, which makes it easy for one to falter. This is one good reason that many have turned to the eastern religions for a more balanced spirit.

The author moves forward with the help of his son Chris.

A timely classic

I wanted a newer edition because it has a new foreword where Pirsig clarifies a couple of issues. A must read book for those who wish a little or a lot of enlightenment. I also have it on CD, and every time I listen to it, something new surfaces. So profound yet very easy to read and follow.

Being Present

This is a true classic. Through a simile of keeping a motorcycle in tip top shape we learn the lesson of being present in moment and entering the flow of life. A wonderful book that has been printed over and over.
