Default Re: PS. Here is what Emerson says in Self Reliance...

Gordon,
isn't Emerson and Thoreau intense and beautifying? Man these guys are outstanding.

I have several editions of their complete essays and everything on tape too.

Quite often, while listening, I notice a bit of guilt within myself for not striving as I know I CAN.

I am appreciative though of them both. I have often thought about developing some type of self-help product around their premises.

Have you ever read 'As A Man Thinketh' by James Allen?

As ever, thank you for sharing.

Taylor
