Classic: 'Walden' by Henry David Thoreau

In "Walden," first published as "Walden; or, Life in the Woods" in 1854, transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau details his experiences of living in a cabin he built near Walden Pond, close to Concord, Massachusetts, for about two years.

By retreateing into the woods, Thoreau tried to reach a state of complete self-sufficiency and simple living. His experiment was not only a commentary about civilization and society, but also an experiement in enlightenment through personal introspection.

The classic remains a relevant read for anyone interested discovery through minimalism.
