Huh, it has nothing to do with zen Buddhism. Was there any talk of Buddhism in the interview? This guy has written a book about the value (i.e., axiology) of working with ones hands. I thought the interview was interesting and I like the points that he brought up about the value of hard physical work and how it might relate to our cognitive faculties and how they might be sharpened by such work. Sounds like an interesting read.
In 2005 I finished my BA in Philosophy from Northwest University. In 2008 I finished my MA in Theology with an emphasis in Systematic Theology and Biblical Studies from Fuller Theological Seminary. Within the next ten years, I'll have a PhD too, hehe. As far as I know, I'm one of the only philosophy and theology nerds that can bench press over 350lbs. I'm also the only person to have quoted both Hobbits and Star Wars in a graduation commencement speech at Fuller. When I'm not reading theology or philosophy at Starbucks at five in the morning, I'm probably reading J.R.R. Tolkien. And in the evening, well, I work out. What a glorious life! Oh ya, my wife is hot too!!!
