"The lesson [Henry David Thoreau] had taught himself, and which he tried to teach others, was summed up in the one word 'Simplify.' That meant simplify the outward circumstances of your life, simplify your needs and your ambitions; learn to delight in the simple pleasures which the world of Nature affords. It meant also, scorn public opinion, refuse to accept the common definitions of success, refuse to be moved by the judgment of others. And unlike most who advocate such attitudes, he put them into practice." (Walden and Other Writings by Henry David Thoreau--Edited and with an Introduction by Joseph Wood Krutch, Bantam Books, 1962, P. 1)

More on Mental Health: Addresses to Listen To

I am so helped by listening to online talks while quilting. Here are some on the topic of mental health which may be helpful for you, whether you have these challenges yourself, or are seeking to understand better because of your love for someone else. I have listened myself to those by Jay and Dawn Fox and Alexander B. Morrison , and I heartily recommend them.

Here is the link to the search page.Type mental illness in the search box, and you should be taken to a list of talks, which are available in several formats.
