Shop Class as Soul Craft by Matthew B. Crawford
This book is about the importance of making things, of touching and crafting and thinking and figuring out how to fix something. Much of our lives is mindless, repetitious and unfulfilling. Much of what we consider success is really empty. The author went from managing a think tank to fixing vintage motorcycles and makes a case for the latter being fulfilling and enriching. He makes a good point very well but seems to make the same argument over and over in the book.
