Based on lectures Emerson made while traveling, The Conduct of Life was declared by Thomas Carlyle to be the best of all Emerson's works. It features a number of Emerson's poems scattered throughout that act as introductions to each essay.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Pre-Inflation,
By Brian Davidson (Chicago, Illinois, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Conduct of Life (Paperback)
These days, celebrity authors earn thousands of dollars for a speech, but back in the 1880s, Ralph Waldo Emerson, the first American author known to receive payment for delivering a talk, was paid $5 and oats for his horse.
