Who this is
“Self-reliance is not ego. Emerson tells you to trust yourself because he believes something vast is speaking through you — and conformity is how you drown it out.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“One universal soul lives in every human being, and it speaks to you directly — through intuition and through nature — so stop imitating other people and other centuries, and trust the voice within.”
