I recommend that you pick up a copy of Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind by Shunryu Suzuki. It may really resonate with you as well as deepen your insight. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0834800527/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_MK...

Great! I think you may get a lot out of it, and I wish you well on your journey. It's without question the most-loved Zen-related book in the English language, and there are many them. It has greatly enriched many people's Buddhist practice, including mine.

...and the experience you describe is very, very resonant with Zen Buddhism.

This is the philosophy that Steve Jobs followed, if I'm not mistaken.

Yes but please don't hold that against Zen Buddhism.
