Today, we will discuss Randy Gafner's autobiography, Zen and the Art of Making a Morris Chair. It uses his experience building a Morris chair as a metaphor for personal growth and self-discovery. Gafner describes his challenges, including fear, self-doubt, and mistakes, and how he overcame them. He argues that the creative process of making something by hand can be a powerful tool for self-reflection, self-reliance, and finding purpose and fulfillment.
