Publisher's Synopsis
The best thinkers in history seem to be unfathomably ahead of their time, or perhaps beyond time.
Through studying the greatest minds of the past, we can gain a profound perspective on our lives today. Henry David Thoreau is certainly a person who fits this description. He was an essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, historian and transcendentalist. Though Thoreau walked the Earth in the 1800's, his insightful wisdom is astonishingly relevant in this day and age. To put it simply, Thoreau's words are far-reaching, both across time and various dimensions of consciousness. The Tao of Henry David Thoreau is a compilation of some of Thoreau's most thought-provoking writing and poetry. I invite you to take a journey through the life of Henry David Thoreau, which will simultaneously be a journey through your own life as well.
