    COOL

    Its a very remarkable essay, encouraging society to stick with their individualism, and how to maintain it. It gives advice on how to learn to trust yourself, and to work hard for whatever you do, and know if you done your best, you are happy with what youve done, whether or not it 'makes the grade'. Very inspirational.

    A Great Influence on Emily Dickinson

    These essays, particularly THE POET and NATUR,E had great influence on the most iconic of America's poets, Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman and should be read by all who want to understand American Literature. I've just read a biographical novel: WILD NIGHTS, WILD NIGHTS, THE STORY OF EMILY DICKINSON'S MASTER: NEIGHBOR AND FRIEND AND BRIDE GROOM, by Danieia Gioseffi, with its non-fiction afterword; LOVER OF SCIENCE AND SCIENTIST IN DARK DAYS OF THE REPUBLIC, a book that makes clear the great influence of Emerson upon Dickinson's poetry. I highly recommend it to understand how Emerson was venerated in his day by forward thinkers, and how he was a bastion of the American enlightenment, as was Dickinson and Whitman whom he influenced with his essays.

    Satisfactory

    I bought the book essentially for my college class to read "self- Reliance" and "Experience," but found that other essay's were fascinating as well.

    Self-Reliance and Other Essays

    Self-Reliance is probably Emerson's most inspirational piece of writing. It encourages the reader to trust in their individuality and to follow their own nature despite what others may say or do. A truly memorable read for those interested in the 'Spirit of Individualism'.

    I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW...

    THIS IS SUCH AN AWESOME BOOK. I LOVED THE SIMPLICITY THAT EMERSON WROTE WITH. HE GAVE TONGUE TO MANY OF THE THOUGHTS I'VE HAD, BUT HAVE NEVER KNOWN HOW TO PUT THEM INTO ORGANIZED WORDS. THIS IS A REAL WINNER - A CLASS ASSIGNMENT THAT TURNED INTO A NEW OUTLOOK ON LIFE.

    One of the greatest pieces ever written

    Self reliance is simply one of the most influential and inspiring pieces ever written. Eloquently crafted with its simple thoughts and ideas which we all know but sometimes forget. Perhaps Emersons greatest work; it is an awakening for everyone whom reads it.
