I have seen Zen mentioned many times. Why one should read it?

It changed the way I think about "thinking". I also see myself in the father and son story. I am sorry to be so general but if I jump into the specifics I fear I would ruin them. Not because somebody else couldn't but I know myself to be a horrible teacher.
Being an extravert, the book inspired me on how to get energy from my inner world of thoughts, ideas, and images during quarantine. Beautiful metaphors and philosophical inquiries into values.
I tried to read Zen, but found it crazy boring and gave up. I'm not sure why it's so highly regarded, but lot's of folks I know love it.
