In this episode, Emmy B and her husband Paul discuss Henry David Thoreau's collection of essays entitled, "Walden." Emmy shares her favorite excerpts and why they are still as relevant today as they were in 1854. Heading into the holiday season, and trying to navigate a pandemic, life can get hectic and we can drown in unimportant distractions. Thoreau's essays remind readers to "simplify" and "live deep" while also fronting "only the essential facts of life." It is timeless advice that we need now more than ever!
