This modern version of Ralph Waldo Emerson's classic was created to reach a larger and more contemporary audience. The work has been edited to appeal to a wider range of experience and expression. The book is so full of wisdom but we simply don't speak the same way anymore. This book has been upgraded to better reflect a more current vernacular - All the pronouns have been changed from simply he/him to they/them.

This edition is edited to be more relevant to today’s terminology and vernacular. As little as possible was modified in order to convey the author’s original intent.

Mostly what was changed were the pronouns he, she, him and her but a few other modifications were made in order to better convey the ideas in this classic work.

This updated version is more approachable and palatable than the original and still just as inspiring. It’s an incredible piece of literature that deserves to be recognized and widely known.
