"Finding Your Walden distills Thoreau’s philosophy into 5 principles, covering money, solitude, individuality, work, and hobbies. It explores these as guideposts for today’s Great Reassessment and how they can be adapted for everyone yearning to a live a more meaningful life. As people reassess priorities to create values based lifestyles in a profit based society, Thoreau’s life offers a precedent, and his philosophy provides direction. The hero for our time is someone few people get right. Henry David Thoreau wasn’t a loner in a cabin. He lived during a time much like ours, when technology changed more in a generation than the centuries before it, and like us, he reassessed his priorities: When is a job worth quitting? Do I need all this stuff? What is enough? Finding Your Walden isn’t about shunning money or success. It’s about grappling with the purpose of the first and the meaning of the second. Thoreau beckons us to step out of the cabin and sets us on a path to fulfillment"
