Pensive

Emerson was an American essayist and poet who led the 19th century transcendentalist movement. In this adapted essay called "Self-Reliance", he champions self-reliance and individualism as a virtue, and contrasts it with other concepts such as dependence or conformity. He emphasizes to follow your own voice. Because the original can be difficult to read, I have created an adapted version that is hopefully easier to access. Listen to it now.
