Book Description:
Arguably one of the most profoundly important essays ever written on the nature and significance of "quality" and definitely a necessary anodyne to the consequences of a modern world pathologically obsessed with quantity. Although set as a story of a cross-country trip on a motorcycle by a father and son, it is more nearly a journey through 2,000 years of Western philosophy. For some people, this has been a truly life-changing book.

Gloria C. from NEW YORK, NY wrote on 4/16/2007...This book is a classic. Not a light read, but fascinating.
The fabulous journey of a man in search of himself - Front Cover. This classic is a must read for anyone who has not already discovered it. Timeless and motivating.

Someone else might understand Chautauqua and Phaedrus better than I do and get more out of reading this book. Perhaps I would have understood it better if I have already read Plato, Aristotle and Socrates ... but at the present the philosophy is beyond me. I did enjoy the motorcycle ride across country between the dad and son. But the heavy thinking was too deep for my comprehension and attention.
