Another equally wonderful book, in somewhat of the same vein is "Long Quiet Highway: Waking Up in America" by Natalie Goldberg. I saw her in a writing workshop a few years ago. Bang on! As she noted to someone who had lots of 'excuses' for not writing: "Just shutup and write!" As a link to "Zen and the Art..." Robert Pirsig's son who is featured in both books, though very briefly in the latter as he comes to a cruel and sad end.
I've been reading a bit of Krishnamurti lately. Now there's a brilliant man who writes like an insightful angel of elequence.
