About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Conduct of Life by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Read in English by Daniel Christopher June; Anna Simon This is the best of Emerson's later works, qualifying his earlier popular essays, series one and two, with the heavier hand of experience. The Conduct of Life ostensibly is a set of essays about how to live life, but also is an amalgam of what life taught Emerson. (Summary by Daniel Christopher June)
