Ralph Waldo Emerson's Self-Reliance: A Modern-Day Interpretation of a Self-Help Classic (Infinite Success)

Ralph Waldo Emerson was an American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist. From 1836 to 1837, Emerson presented a series of lectures on the philosophy of history at Boston's Masonic Temple. These lectures were never published separately, but many of his thoughts were later used in Self-Reliance. In this book, first published in 1841, Emerson illustrates the need for each individual to avoid conformity, and to follow his or her own instincts. Andrew Holmes' interpretation of Self-Reliance illustrates the timeless nature of Emerson's insights. Bringing them to life through 52 modern case studies, this brilliant interpretation of Self-Reliance is an entertaining and informative accompaniment to a classic of self-help philosophy.
