What a treasure. I’ve read most of these essays before, but never so deeply or with such illumination. Emerson's wisdom is simple to understand, yet difficult to practice in a world of popular opinion and distracted thinking. Trust in your own thoughts; be yourself; don’t try to impress or copy others; cherish your friends. Most of all: be present, here and now. https://books.robertbreen.com/2025/10/22/self-reliance-and-other-essays-by-ralph-waldo-emerson/ #books #bookstodon #essays
