I wholeheartedly recommend you explore the blog posts of an acquaintance of mine, William Wynne.
I started reading due to his role as the world's foremost expert on converting old Chevrolet Corvair engines into airplane engines, suitable for the "average guy" wanting to build his own airplane.
I began the journey towards my own airplane out of a desire to enrich my time beyond the consuming work I faced as I began my career. I wanted to keep myself learning and growing, reaching ever higher in a pursuit that would take me somewhere worthwhile.
I truly found what I was seeking, though it wasn't really what I was looking for at the time.
Far beyond the technical expertise to be availed, his philosophical leanings and his willingness to share comprise a rich source of uplifting and nourishing food for thought.
His words have greatly helped to form my views of a few issues facing me as I work to develop into the person I want to be.
In my learnings, the great lessons are his observations regarding the benefits of rejecting consumerism, and of choosing to carefully prioritize treasuring up the humanity around us.
The following links are to a few of his articles that I think you'll enjoy.
