As inmates, many of us have spent our lives going through our work and relationships with little concern about the level of effort it requires to make them healthy. We have shown our employers, families, and community a lack of care in how we go about our actions. Not dedicating ourselves to care for our responsibilities in the way that they deserve, has led to lives that for many of us are missing Quality. In this book by Robert M. Pirsig, we learned the beginnings of what makes a meaningful life of Quality, by taking the time to recognize the care we must give to every task we take. https://www.jailhousebookclub.com/blog/zenandartofmotorcyclemaintenance To read the full review, visit us at https://www.jailhousebookclub.com/blog/heat #wisdom #change #inspire #literaturequotes #literature #philosophy #philosophyquotes #dailyquotes #quotes #motivationalquotes #jail #prison #bookclub #bookreview #freedom #liberty #selfhelp #selfhelpbooks #inmatebookreview #prisonreform #criminaljusticereform #incarcerated #incarceratedlivesmatter #prisoners #bookworm #bookwormproblems #bookstagram #motorcycle #zen
