One of Fortune's 'Best Books of 2021' When Ralph Waldo Emerson
published his seminal essay on self-reliance in 1841, the United
States was still reeling from the effects of a calamitous financial
collapse four years earlier. His positive vision for the power of
individualism and personal responsibility was issued in a climate
of panic and uncertainty, at a time when the values of society and
humanity were shifting. Emerson's text is widely available to read
online, but this new edition, produced with Design Observer,
elevates his wisdom through the printed word. The global pandemic
of 2020 has reshaped our world as well as our thinking, but
Emerson's call to independence remains as relevant and energizing
as ever. Written as the first waves of the virus surged, Jessica
Helfand's twelve accompanying essays address various aspects of
artistic engagement - writing, drawing, thinking, making -
expanding on the spirit of Emerson's essay to reimagine the process
and practice of what it means to be truly creative. Presented in a
covetable pocket-book format intended to be read, carried,
consulted and to inspire throughout our new daily lives, and
featuring two marker ribbons for easy reference, this is a timeless
book for all places and all seasons.
