American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson taught a path of self-reliance and self-knowledge. He emphasised self-knowledge and mindfulness as paths to happiness; also, self-reliance, cooperation, non-conformity, originality, adaptability, and receptiveness.

This week, Andrew talks to author and teacher Mark Matousek about how Emerson’s twelve essential teachings hold the answer to living an authentic and fulfilling life, one that is in harmony with our souls.

Key principles include:

Each person creates their own reality.
Obstacles are teachers in disguise
Your character is your destiny
Wonder and awe are the keys to the kingdom
Nonconformity is the greatest virtue
Nature is the doorway to God
Life without self-knowledge is not worth living.
