Self-Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson



"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of his recurrent themes: the need for each person to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his or her own instincts and ideas.

  • Imitation is suicide. Don’t live someone else’s life. Your genius lies in being fully, originally you.
  • Speak your truth boldly. What you believe deeply today may evolve—but don’t hold back for fear of judgment.
  • Great people live from the inside out. They ignore applause or criticism—and follow what feels divinely true.
  • Your consistency is courage. Be who you are—even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.


This audiobook includes full on-screen subtitles, offering an immersive experience with one of the most influential essays in American thought.
