Book Synopsis
The acclaimed author of Expect Great Things: The Life and Search of Henry David Thoreau traverses on foot from Manhattan to Walden Pond, retracing Thoreau's steps and unlocking the practical principles of the mystic's life in the woods.

Alternating between personal anecdotes from his spring 2017 walking pilgrimage and other traveler encounters and episodes told by Thoreau, Dann structures his book around 12 injunctions--distillations of seminal stories about overcoming convention and stasis.
