Our United States. Economic powerhouse with the highest general standard of living, leader in technological innovation, purveyor of culture to the world, dominant political and military power.
And our American people? Discontented, frazzled, disfunctional in the family, economically insecure, cynical, disgusted with politics, and, despite conspicuous conventional religiosity, suffering a moral and spiritual privation.
Living in the country with the best and the most, why aren't we happy? The problem is one of values.
A diagnosis of our ills and a prescription for happiness and fulfillment are at hand, in our own American heritage. A book out of the 1840s and 1850s, Henry David Thoreau's WALDEN may have more to offer to the America of today than it did to its own time.
In WALDEN CONTEMPORANEOUS, Norman Weeks applies the values expressed in WALDEN to our current society and presents some experiential verification of Thoreau's prescriptions for successful living.
Psychology, sociology, culture, economics, politics, religion:--All are subjected to comprehensive evaluation based upon Thoreau's principles and values.
More good sense came out of one man in that little cabin on Walden Pond than we have received from our glib editorialists and multi-staffed think tanks.
WALDEN is relevant. WALDEN is CONTEMPORANEOUS.
