This book by Richard Bach came up once on Lex Fridman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: guest. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.

What it is

This is the story for people who follow their hearts and make their own rules… people who get special pleasure out of doing something well, even if only for themselves… people who know there’s more to this living than meets the eye: they’ll be right there with Jonathan, flying higher and faster than they ever dreamed.
