Overview
Overview
Walden is one of the best-known non-fiction books ever written by an American. It details Thoreau's sojourn in a cabin near Walden Pond, amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson. Walden was written with expressed seasonal divisions. Thoreau hoped to isolate himself from society in order to gain a more objective understanding of it. Simplicity and self-reliance were Thoreau's other goals, and the whole project was inspired by Transcendentalist philosophy. As pertinent and relevant today as it was when it was first written.

This Book Inspires You to Find Beauty Everywhere
HPB S. - 6 years 4 months agoWalden, written over a century ago, is the quintessential novel for the modern environmental movement. This book has inspired me to live more simply in all aspects of my life, whether it's my wardrobe or the foods I purchase. It has also encouraged me to spend more time in nature and to put down my phone more often and enjoy the company of those I'm with. Walden has also shown me that I don't need to live a life in the fast lane, constantly being busy and constantly trying to store more money and more things and never being able to get enough of either. Simply sitting outside with a mug of coffee and no phone is enough. Sitting quietly is enough. You are enough. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
