To Live Deliberately, Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau threw down the gauntlet in 1854, and Walden is more relevant than ever. To Live Deliberately is our visual re-imagining of Thoreau's most well-known essay, Where I Lived and What I Lived For. Accompanied by 30 illustrations, the essay challenges the trappings of modern living and embraces an ascetic rejection of material excess and social distractions in exchange for a reconnection with nature as a path to self-discovery. This artful pocket edition is illustrated by Obvious State cofounder, Evan Robertson and is printed in the United States on beautiful premium paper. It makes a great gift for literature and art lovers alike. FUN FACTThoreau was minimalist before minimalism was cool. Take that, Marie Kondo!
