Book Description: Redefining the classic essay, this modern edition of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s most famous work, Self-Reliance , includes self-reflections from both historical and contemporary luminaries. With quotes from the likes of Henry Ford and Helen Keller to modern-day thought leaders like Jesse Dylan, Steve Pressfield, and Milton Glaser, we're reminded of the relevance of Emerson’s powerful words today. Emerson’s words are timeless. Persuasive and convincing, he challenges readers to define their own sense of accomplishment and asks them to measure themselves against their own standards, not those of society. This famous orator has utter faith in individualism and doesn’t invoke beyond what is humanly possible, he just believes deeply that each of us is capable of greatness. He asks us to define that greatness for ourselves and to be true to ourselves. At times harsh, at times comforting, Emerson’s words guide the reader to challenge their own beliefs and sense of self. This modern edition of Self-Reliance is ideal for graduates or those who are in the midst of a career or lifestyle change. Emerson's sage guidance wrapped in modern-day reflections is a great reminder about the potential within us all and that life is what you make of it.

应该是第一次看爱默生的东西吧？很有思想、见地，内容比文章题目给人的感觉丰富深刻多了。抛去少部分难以理解的语段和个别观点有待探讨，整体挺棒的。不过......真的挺无聊，要不是英语作业我也不会一气儿看完（或许都看不下去）。这是第一遍，还有些混沌，下下周presentation的主题是这个，还得深入看看。

评分Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events.
评分Being a non-conformist. Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote in 1838.
