Thoreau wasn't a hermit in the woods. He lived during a time like ours, of rapid technological and economic changes, political division, and a pandemic. Thoreau, like us, reassessed his priorities: What does success really look like? What is my duty as an ethical citizen of a less-than-ethical world? How can I live a good life amid (insert hand-sweeping gesture) all of this?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis solution: Pare down to trade up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFinding Your Walden\u003c\/i\u003e combines classic literature with happiness studies, exploring how experts  psychologists, career coaches, and doctors  support Thoreau's ideas as guideposts for today's Great Reassessment. It combines insights of the 1854 classic with people who embrace the pare-down-to-trade-up philosophy today, whether through major life changes (such as tiny homes or sabbaticals) or smaller life hacks (like digital sabbaths or meditation practices). Their stories inspire us to apply creativity, simplicity, and peace to the experiment of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFinding Your Walden\u003c\/i\u003e isn't about shunning money or success. It's about grappling with the purpose of the first and the meaning of the second. Whether you love Walden or haven't read it, you can join Thoreau on a path to discover an intentional life during a volatile time  you just need to make a stop at a cabin on the way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46836313981086,"sku":"ADS-9781642970630","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781642970630.jpg?v=1778737726","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781642970630","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
