“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”

America’s most eloquent champion of individualism, Emerson acknowledges at the same time the pressures of society in American life. How do you remain true to yourself even when virtually everyone you know wants you to be, to do, to believe, something? What does it mean to be yourself?

This podcast focuses on self-exploration and personal identity -- to help you construct who you are, and how you want to feel, think, believe, and behave for yourself. Check out our gratitude challenge for the month of November at bigselfschool.com/gratitude.
