具体描述
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.

评分一边做PPT 一边就把这书读完了。话说，在这个时代尤其需要这样的思想啊。
评分大二时候读过一遍。今天再读，感觉是美驴国驴性根源之一。。Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires. 不过这鸡汤写得倒是不赖，读起来很顺畅不枯燥，值得中文鸡汤写手们淆习。
评分能把文字写成这样真是佩服。其实我们自己突然想到的一些自鸣得意的想法，早就被别人用更激烈，更热血贲张的文字记录下来了。读书着实是一件能让人谦卑的事。
评分my life is for itself and not for a spectacle
