## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Though written 170 years ago, this book is a very good look at someone else's opinion of what matters most in life to them.
  

*by R***U on Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2018*

One has to remember that this was written about 170 years ago and the language was quite different back then.  Thoreau wrote in a verbose and very descriptive style which seems wordy today, but the meaning is very clear.  He describes in detail the things that he saw and observed and enables the reader to fully comprehend what he was talking about.  This is not a murder mystery, a harlequin romance, or a profane laden thriller.  It is a view of an individual who had a lifestyle very different from today's rushed and hectic pace.  He did not have to be entertained but was able to entertain himself in his day to day functions of life, observing in detail the things going on around him.  Even though he lived only two miles from town, that two miles was through the woods on a footpath, not a highway.  He lived a simple lifestyle and was not "connected" by social media and personal devices like most are today.  Boredom was not a problem to him, he was comfortable in the lifestyle that he chose to live.  It is very interesting to look at another's point of view on life.  He was not concerned with material possessions and wealth but found great value in the simple things in life.  I have found that I have similar views as I grow older.  Wealth, status and possessions are not that important to me.  Being satisfied with what I have and my life as it is matters more to me now.  Walden was a very good view of that.

    ... read Henry David Thoreau's Walden but I'll do my best to write from recollection
  

*by B***T on Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2014*

It's been a little while now since I've read Henry David Thoreau's Walden but I'll do my best to write from recollection. Basically, Thoreau goes to live on Walden pond in a little town in Massachusetts for two years. He built the place himself and he starts to grow his own beans, I think. This is for him an experiment in living.What he hopes to achieve is a life lived simply and deliberately. What this means is a little difficult to ascertain but it seems to me this. He wants to be more mindful and appreciative of what the natural world has to offer him and not be so dependent on the technology and busy city life. By stripping away all of these amenities, he thinks he can arrive at some deeper understanding about his place in the world and what really matters to him.The life he describes is somewhat paradoxical. As much as he protests to not being lonely, there is an air of loneliness to his writing. And he's never one to turn down the company of strangers who come to visit him. He also seems to be curious about the people who spend their days retrieving blocks of ice from the pond to go back and sell at the market (Thoreau is only a couple miles out of town). But Thoreau does, in spite of all that, begin to feel genuinely as though he has learned something about the human spirit, namely that it's all right to march to the beat of your own dream, to obey your higher spiritual laws, and find beauty in nature, even in its occasional wildness and savagery.Walden isn't a perfect book but no book ever is. I'd heard some advice to read the first chapter last and that's what I did. I think it changes the experience of reading the book for the better if you read the first chapter as a kind of afterword. Just my two cents.

    What’s important in life?
  

*by U***. on Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2024*

Even though it was written more than 170 years ago, I agreed with many of his ideas. If the material things are important for you more than anything else in life, this book is not for you.
