This is the best book I've read in years, possibly ever. It brings philosophy to life and, although not all the ideas are "new", he finds fresh and intelligent ways of tying these more abstract questions to concrete analogies such as motorcycle maintenance. This book is based on the author's life, although he's expanded upon it to make the story more cohesive. Part philosophy, part psychological thriller: Not only did this book combine the best aspects of two of my favorite genres, it made me want to buy a motorcycle! This is a book you can read and re-read over and over.
