The Conduct of Life

This is the best of Emerson's later works, qualifying his earlier popular essays, series one and two, with the heavier hand of experience. The Conduct of Life ostensibly is a set of essays about how to live life, but also is an amalgam of what life taught Emerson. (Summary by Daniel Christopher June) (6 hr 7 min)

Nomomaniacs

What a shame that a great book should be read by such a disinterested and unco.prehending reader. Libre vox needs to screen better. This reader seems only to want to get through the chore of reading as quickly as possible without any attempt to read clearly. Half the words are stumbled over and his voice fades in and out. I can forgive a foreign accent and will try hard to understand but a careless reader like this is only to be avoided. please redo the book!

I couldn't get past section one because the reader is very difficult to understand. Sounds like he's just rushing through the book. Please redo this recording with a different reader and I'd be thrilled to listen to the entire book

rich and deep material, builds to a Rhapsody ... foundational American ... displays transcendentalism and pragmatism as one ... I hate to criticize a volunteer, but the reader for the first six chapters is a disaster.
