In addition to daily quotes, the end of the book also includes selections from Emerson's beloved essay "Self-Reliance."

“I studies Emerson and the Transcendentalists during my first (and only) semester at Graduate School. I was amazed, and still am, with his insight and sheer intelligence of thought and writing. This work took me a bit deeper into The King of the Oversoul. There are many original quotes to satisfy any literary hunger search. His influence on Thoreau is cited as well. For an additional reference, see “American Bloomsbury”, Susan Cheever’s work on the Transcendentalists.”
