Reviews for Self-Reliance: The Wisdom of Ralph Waldo Emerson as Inspiration for Daily Living

-Emerson is the sweetest singer of our highest moments. For anyone in search of a tonic draft of his wisdom, this book, collecting some of his most radiant moods, is a rapture and an inspiration.- --Pico Iyer -These selections from Emerson's essays, equally severe and consoling, are remarkably current in their wisdom. They are chosen with great care by Richard Whelan, and offer a special unextinguishable light.--- Roger Rosenblatt
