In Self-Reliance, Emerson expounds on the importance of trusting your soul, as well as divine providence, to carve out a life. A firm believer in nonconformity, Emerson celebrates the individual and stresses the value of listening to the inner voice unique to each of us—even when it defies society's expectations.

In this seminal work of political philosophy, Boétie asks one of the most obvious questions of political theory: Why is it that a minority of rulers can remain in power over a majority of subjects who pay all the taxes? The answer might be quite surprising to us all. The conclusion is that the people tend to enslave themselves, to let themselves be governed by tyrants. Liberty is the natural condition of the people. Servitude, however, is fostered when people are raised in subjection. It is we who enslave ourselves at the beck and call of "authority".

This modern revision of James Allen's classic As a Man Thinketh was created to reach a larger and more contemporary audience. The work has been edited and renamed As a Human Thinketh to appeal to a wider range of experience and expression. The audiobook is so full of wisdom and so helpful, but we simply don't speak the same way anymore. This audiobook has been upgraded to better reflect a more current vernacular All the pronouns have been changed from simply he/him to they/them. As a Human Thinketh is a classic recreated with gender neutral language.
