Not quite. The closest is Illusions by Richard Bach, more of a midwestern-Jesus version than an eastern-Buddha tale. The Siddhartha story is itself a retelling of stories from the Ashtavakra Gita and Vasistha’s Yoga - both highly recommended.

The attraction of drugs is spiritual
Jed McKenna is to spirituality what Rick and Morty is to children’s cartoons.
I grew up playing strategy games, so second nature to me. You may want to try The Compleat Strategyst, The Origins of Virtue, The Evolution of Cooperation, etc.
Everything else written by Matt Ridley. Matt is a scientist, optimist, and forward thinker. One of my favorite authors. I’ve read everything of his, and reread everything of his.
