Where I Lived, and What I Lived For - Thryft

Solitary introspection meets environmental transcendence.

Imagine feeling a deeper connection both to nature and to the depths of your own thoughts. That's what Thoreau offers in "Where I Lived, and What I Lived For." It's not just a call to simplicity, but a richly contemplative journey that encourages finding contentment and truth by engaging intimately with the natural world. If you've ever felt the pull of a life uncluttered by excess, Thoreau's reflections could resonate deeply with you.

Description

Thoreau's account of his solitary and self-sufficient home in New England woods remains an inspiration to the environmental movement -- a call to his fellow men to abandon their striving, materialistic existences of 'quiet desperation' for a simple life within their means, finding spiritual truth through awareness of the sheer beauty of their surroundings.
