Was looking to download a copy of Emerson's essaay on Self-Reliance after reading a report on AMAZON:

...His words and ideas are so powerful and deep that we soon realize that they didn't come only from a brilliant mind, but also from a warm-hearted soul!

That's exactly what this book is about: Its sentences break through your brain and penetrate right into your soul! Emerson's optimistic view on human beings and life can only reinforce our courage in mankind and, especially, in ourselves!

What else can I say? His speech is direct, he defends all the good values, tell us to have confidence in ourselves and show us that passing through life with dignity is a matter of choice and courage, and that it simply doesn't change with time...

This is the book I grab to comfort my spirit when I'm having difficult times...

Although penned years ago, it's a level of familiarity and contempt that is disgusting.
