Help me out with remembering the title of a book (non-fiction)... any guesses would be appreciated.

It's about a young guy - college age. Isn't happy with his life. So he makes a list of things he wants to do. For one, he decides he doesn't like to feel uneducated... so he works for a couple of years to get accepted into Harvard. Checks that one off his list. He decides he doesn't like feeling weak... so he jumps on a plane to China and spends years training to become a Bhuddist monk.

He had a lot of things on his list - those were the only two I remember.

The title of the book either has Zen or Bhuddist in it.
