Walden Today is about creating personal freedom and making a living in a time when there is less job security, fewer jobs, less trust in government and corporations--and thus the absolute requirement to rely upon yourself.

Applying Thoreau's  seven practical work/life principles to today's problems, Walden Today is an essential survival manual to avoid a life of what he  called "quiet desperation", and to avoid reaching the end of your life to discover that you have not lived.
