The most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes, the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his or her own instincts and ideas. It is the source of one of Emerson's most famous quotations, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." This essay is considered a watershed moment in which transcendentalism became a major cultural movement. An American classic.

If you could sum up Self Reliance in three words, what would they be?
Great. Life. Advice.Who was your favorite character and why?
n/aHow could the performance have been better?
A different narrator. This was the first book I listened to from this narrator. The work is an essay - tightly packed information constructed by a brilliant man. The narrator's voice was completely without the passion the author intended. The reading was delivered so dead-pan that it seemed clear the narrator had never actually read the work prior to the recording of his reading.Any additional comments?
This appears to be one of those works best enjoyed by reading it rather than listening to it. Perhaps with a slightly different cadence, a more impassioned voice - this work could have been done justice.Great work, fatally performed

Another repeatable listen as it is only an hour long. What makes this book a stand out is that Ralph Waldo Emerson was preaching current day "positive thinking philosophies back in the 1800's! Proving that life's complications start with acceptance and the real change begins in mind.Time-tested way of life
