This DVD is an exploration of how the ideas expressed by Henry David Thoreau apply to the challenges we face in the 21st century. Why should we care about a writer who lived 150 years ago? What could he possibly have to say about the dilemmas we find ourselves involved in today? You will soon see.

We all find ourselves in situations with difficult decisions to make. Sometimes we know what is right; sometimes it is not so clear. We see things that are wrong and are conflicted about what to do. We often feel alone in the world, trying to figure out where we fit in. How we can also follow our own way even when others all seem to be going a different route? When can we find time to think when we are so busy all the time? If we are always working, how do we make the time to enjoy the things we really love? Where do we get the courage to make changes in our lives so that we feel more comfortable with ourselves?
