Ralph Waldo Emmerson's Self-Reliance

"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 false consistency. Here, Andrew Holmes' interpretation of 'Self-Reliance' illustrates the timeless nature of Emerson's insights by bringing them to life through 52 modern case studies. This brilliant interpretation of 'Self-Reliance' is an entertaining and informative accompaniment to one of the most famous books on strategy ever written."--Resource description page.
