President Obama cited Emerson's "Self-Reliance" as his favorite book, Michael Jackson confessed to being inspired by Emerson in his lyrics, and Harold Bloom cited Emerson's writings in numerous critiques.

Many people confess that they have gained true wisdom through Emerson and that it has changed their lives forever.

That is, you must find strength within yourself, not from outside sources, and lead your life proactively, guided by that strength.
Emerson's thoughts are well expressed in writings such as "Be your own pillar," "It is I who save myself," "A man can and must stand alone," and "The way to become your own master."
"The Power of Self-Reliance" is a book that selects the most important passages from Emerson's various writings, focusing on Emerson's "Self-Reliance", and is a revised edition of "The Happy Man on His Own" published in 2013.

Into the book
Strength comes from within.
The reason we are weak is because we seek help from outside rather than from within.
Those who realize this and, without hesitation, straighten their bodies and move their hands and feet according to their own thoughts, will achieve miracles.
It's the same reason why a person standing on both feet is stronger than a person doing a handstand.
---From "Become Your Own Pillar"
When people put their whole heart into their work and do their best, they forget their troubles and become cheerful.
Nothing else can give us peace.
Salvation is not something that anyone can bring.
Unless we believe in ourselves, we have no inspiration, no creation, no hope. --- From "It is I who save myself."
Build your own world.
The moment you align your life with the pure thoughts that arise in your mind, your world will expand.
The moment the soul flows into your heart, a revolution will take place in everything.
---From "The World Exists for You"
There are bound to be opposing views to any lifestyle or behavior.
Therefore, maintaining an indifferent attitude to the opposing opinions encountered everywhere is one of the most practical wisdoms.
Don't ruin yourself with useless thoughts, and do your best at your work wherever you are.
Life is neither philosophical nor critical.
It's just strong.
The greatest happiness in life is found only by those who enjoy what they have discovered without questioning it, and who live in harmony with the world.

Publisher's Review
Focus on the power within me that makes me strong!
A Mindful Guide to Bringing Miraculous Change to Your Life
Emerson's teachings are cool and clear, but his language is poetic and ambiguous.
So, Emerson's writings take on new meaning every time they are read, and they resonate in different ways depending on the reader's state of mind and depth.
"The Power of Self-Confidence" is a compilation of Emerson's essays, compiled to help readers understand and embrace his teachings as easily as possible.
Additionally, to allow for sufficient savoring of each article, we divided it into sections of reasonable length and added titles that did not exist in the original text.
The first part of the book focuses on the laws of the soul realized on a personal level, namely self-confidence and reward. The middle part deals with issues such as politics, history, and education so that readers can view their lives within social relationships. The last part deals with the relationship between nature, humans, and the soul from a more metaphysical and higher-dimensional perspective.
Many people dream of change, but the reason they fail to achieve it is because they look for the trigger outside themselves.
It's like wandering around the road of life without a direction or map.
Emerson helps us realize that the beginning of change is not outside, but within ourselves.
It reminds us of the immutable truth that when we realize our own strengths and potential and focus more on our own lives, we become one step closer to becoming a strong and free spirit and living the life we desire.
