About the book
Henry David Thoreau's account of living simply in natural surroundings draws on the two years, two months and two days he spent in a cabin of his own making beside Walden Pond, on woodland near Concord, Massachusetts that belonged to Ralph Waldo Emerson, his friend and mentor. Titled Walden; or, Life in the Woods when it appeared in 1854, the book mixes satire, social experiment, spiritual quest, a personal declaration of independence and something of a manual for self-reliance. Thoreau records nature precisely, naming plants and animals by popular and scientific names, dating when the pond froze and thawed, and measuring its supposedly bottomless depths. He compresses his stay into a single year, using the seasons to symbolize human development.
Codie Sanchez urged people to read it, saying it opens the eyes to the beauty of travel, and everydayCheck founder Joan Boixados recommended it as the inspiration for Walden Two.

In case you were deceived and expected me to name Walden by Henry David Thoreau, you should read it too if you haven’t, it obviously is the inspiration to Walden Two. :)
My suggestion: Read the book Walden. Opens your eyes to the beauty of travel.
