The Conduct Of Life

The Conduct of Life is a collection of essays by Ralph Waldo Emerson that explores the nature of human behavior and how it affects our lives. The book is divided into twelve chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of human behavior, such as love, friendship, self-reliance, and success.Throughout the book, Emerson emphasizes the importance of living a virtuous life and following one's own path. He argues that we should not be swayed by the opinions of others, but rather should trust our own instincts and intuition. He also stresses the importance of cultivating a strong sense of self-reliance and independence, and encourages readers to take responsibility for their own lives.In addition to offering philosophical insights into human behavior, The Conduct of Life also contains practical advice for living a fulfilling and meaningful life. Emerson encourages readers to pursue their passions and interests, to seek out experiences that challenge them, and to cultivate meaningful relationships with others.Overall, The Conduct of Life is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that offers readers a unique perspective on the nature of human behavior and the importance of living a virtuous and fulfilling life.There are men, who, by their sympathetic attractions, carry nations with them, and lead the activity of the human race. And if there be such a tie, that, wherever the mind of man goes, nature will accompany him, perhaps there are men whose magnetisms are of that force to draw material and elemental powers, and, where they appear, immense instrumentalities organize around them. Life is a search after power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
