This was originally a lecture given by Thoreau in 1851 at the Concord lyceum titled “The Wild” . He revised it before his death and it was included as part of the June 1862 edition of Atlantic Monthly.

Nigel Warburton interviews a range of experts on places associated with philosophers.

Henry David Thoreau said, “We are constantly being invited to be who we are.” Yet how many of us accept the invitation to show up 100% authentically in our interactions with one another? How often do we feel safe enough to bring our whole selves to a conversation or a relationship? Most of us are held back by limiting beliefs and fear of being misunderstood and not belonging. In a world where people are hiding to stay “safe”, speaking our vulnerable truth is probably the most courageous thin ...
