What clicked and made you have a different mindset? How long did it take to start changing and how long was the transformation? Did it last or is it an ongoing back and forth between your old self? I want to know your transformation and success.

Any kind of change, big or small. Anything from weight loss, world view, personality shift, major life change, single change like stopped smoking or drinking soda to starting exercising or going back to school. I want to hear how people’s life were a bit or a lot better through reading and your progress.

TIA 🙏

    Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert Persig

    I love this book, warts and all. The rereads get harder as I see more flaws in both the text and Persig himself.

    Regardless, I can’t deny the huge impact it had on my worldview. It helped me refine and improve the analytical mindset I take to the world around me and made me think routinely and deeply about what I value in my life and why.

    I could see myself easily being obsessed with money and status at the point in my life where I am, and I’m grateful, in no short part to this book, that I’m not.

    What is good? and what is bad? And who can tell us these things?

    Persig does his best with these questions and gives you enough to put you on the same journey even if truly answering these questions is ultimately unachievable
