"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life."
Henry David Thoreau (1817 – 1862) was an American essayist, poet, philosopher, and transcendentalist. He is best known for his book Walden, a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings, and his essay Civil Disobedience, an argument for individual resistance to civil government in moral opposition to injustice.
Born in Concord, Massachusetts, Thoreau lived for two years in a self-built cabin on the shores of Walden Pond. His nature observations and philosophy of deliberate living continue to inspire millions of listeners seeking tranquility and mindfulness.
