Customer Reviews
SELF - RELIANCE
This book represents the keystone to the modern transcendental movement. It is timeless in it's ability to define individualism, as well as, present the listener with ideas that have always been a part of our society; despite the fact that it is finally coming into it's own through the help of speakers and educators around the world. Well worth the money to hear something that may be a difficult read.
