That last one hits home. In high school in the early 2000’s I had to read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. It was awful and clunky and boring.
Smash cut up a few years ago when I turned 40 - I thought, “maybe I’ve got a different view now and this will be better”.
Nope, it’s all boomer you shit about “kids these days”.
I was recommended Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance a dozen times and every attempt to read it was just boring. And I thought it was me, like am I supposed to find metaphors for any of these things to enrich my life? Because it’s not working.
I never read it, but I’ve read similar pop-enlightenment literature. I think it requires that you be in this particular narrow phase of spiritual maturity where you’re open to the message, but you haven’t really learned much yet. Once you get into anything meatier, the pop stuff seems trite.

Pop spirituality ripens like an avocado
