The Secret Letters of Ralph Waldo Emerson

The book I so vigorously read was entitled “The Secret Letters of Ralph Waldo Emerson”, which was a grueling 460 pages. Joel Myerson edited and published the book in 1997, but all the material was of Emerson origin. The reason I opted to read this book correlating to Ralph Waldo Emerson life of philosophy is due to the fact that I have always been fascinated by philosophy and the importance it has within our lives. Throughout time …

…It is one of my favorite philosophical quotes because it is so true. Man was made to think for himself, how can a man be happy and live a prosperous life if he is always following the wishes of another. To me this quote has meaningful impact. This is what I have learned of Emerson after reading his long book. It is always good to know that you know a little bit more each day.
