Publisher's Synopsis

""Canned Life"" is a collection of essays and musings by American writer and philosopher Elbert Hubbard. Originally published in 1910, the book explores the concept of modern life as being ""canned"" or packaged, with people living their lives according to societal expectations and norms. Hubbard argues that this conformity leads to a lack of individuality and creativity, and encourages readers to break free from the constraints of canned life and live authentically. The essays cover a range of topics, including the role of education, the pursuit of happiness, and the importance of self-reliance. Hubbard's writing is characterized by his wit, humor, and sharp observations on human nature. ""Canned Life"" remains a thought-provoking and relevant critique of modern society, and a call to live a life that is truly one's own.THIS 20 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Preachments: Elbert Hubbard's Selected Writings Part 4, by Elbert Hubbard.
