Thoreau on ‘Living Deliberately’
In this episode of In Search of Wisdom, I discuss selected passages from the American essayist and philosopher Henry David Thoreau's classic Walden (a previous book from Reading & the Good Life). As the year ends, Thoreau’s wisdom offers much-needed reflection and insight into what it means to live deliberately.
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
— Henry David Thoreau, Walden
