Henry David Thoreau believed that “the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” That belief lead to the conviction that “the old have no very important advice to give to the young, their own experience has been so partial, and their lives have been such miserable failures . . .”
The people whose stories are told in this book are living refutations of Walden’s misconceptions. They tell of people who have struggled through difficult times, even desperate times. But hope, joy, and satisfaction shine through every one of these stories. Their lives most definitely are not miserable failures, and we can learn a lot about living from them.
Rather than lives of quiet desperation, these are lives of quiet inspiration.
