To Live Deliberately, Henry David Thoreau
Henry David Thoreau threw down the gauntlet in 1854, and Walden is more relevant than ever. To Live Deliberately is our visual re-imagining of Thoreau's most well-known essay, Where I Lived and What I Lived For. Accompanied by 30 illustrations, the essay challenges the trappings of modern living and embraces an ascetic rejection of material excess and social distractions in exchange for a reconnection with nature as a path to self-discovery.
This artful pocket edition is illustrated by Obvious State cofounder, Evan Robertson and is printed in the United States on beautiful premium paper. It makes a great gift for literature and art lovers alike.
FUN FACT
Thoreau was minimalist before minimalism was cool. Take that, Marie Kondo!
WHAT MAKES IT AWESOME?
Thoreau expertly wrestles with the big questions through the lens of small, quotidian moments.
WHY READ IT?
This is an essay about radical unplugging. In the face of our modern technological existence, his experiment in essentialism feels more timely than ever.
