Features: The ten essays on life selected in this book are excerpted from Essays, highlighting Emerson's views on self, humanity, and nature. In Emerson's view, the spiritual law of a person is to believe in their own heart, "There is nothing sacred but the heart within us." Therefore, in human friendship, "We must be ourselves first, and then we can be others." Some have described Emerson as possessing "the depth of a philosopher, the piety of a religious person, the passion of an orator, and the wisdom and beauty of a poet." In today's world where people are gradually forgetting their hearts and abandoning nature, we hope you can find a bit of peace in Emerson's words and thoughts.
