Henry David Thoreau is one of Don Henley's The Eagles favorite authors. Don said his readings helped him cope during a difficult period losing his father.
This author is off his rocker and it explains why Don Henley turned into such an oddball. Seems like Henley has child like faith in every word the author writes.
It's a shame Don had to use such a secular approach to healing when he should have gone to the living word of God for comfort during the passing of his father.

But I can’t help thinking about how we, as a society, NEED farmers, shop owners and other people he scoffs at. The life of a hermit to me is very appealing but I don’t like how he says others that work are slaves. I think the problem is consumerism where marketing is convincing us we need a bunch of crap that ultimately clutters up our lives and gets in the way of a direct experience of life. I realize he is an individualist but imo, we also need community.

This is the best version of this book/audiobook. I can’t believe I’m getting this for free. I think about what a joy and necessity it is to have something like audible for me. This feels so important and the fact that I’m absorbing this rn at such a comforting read is such a blessing.

I have never yet met a man who was awake. Thoreau must have sleep-walked through life.
I expected more than that when I opened this reading. Maybe he has spent too much time reading the thoughts of others.

It's actually THUR-oh. I'm sure HDT didn't talk as bland and whimpy as this guy. Nice to have this; it's just misrepresentative. Sounds like this guy hasn't spent a day outside a library or laboratory.

honestly, why is this book good to some people. It is just rambly to me. Very unfocused with a few good points every chapter. Literally sounds like my woke Uncle just saying shit about being woke.

Just by the way, the landscape around Walden Pond looks nothing like this picture. When you visit, don't expect mountains.

Fun Fact: Henry David Thoreau was outsourcing his laundry to his mother the entire time he was writing about self sufficiency.

Felt like I was being talked AT throughout the reading. Hoping it was the reader's interpretion rather than Thoreau's.

Great literature. Shout out to Tim Ferriss a great guy, all the people he brought here as well and all vagabonding souls!
