SUMMARY:Walden For Hire: A Conversation with Ken Lizotte
DESCRIPTION:Register on Zoom\nJoin us for an inspiring evening exploring the entrepreneurial spirit of one of America’s most original minds: Henry David Thoreau.** \nBest known for his reflections on simple living and principled resistance\, Thoreau is rarely recognized for something equally compelling—his sharp business instincts and inventive professional life. In this dynamic author talk\, bestselling author Ken Lizotte reveals the surprising lessons hidden within Thoreau’s career and philosophy\, drawn from his groundbreaking book Walden for Hire. \nWhile many associate Thoreau with Transcendentalism and his iconic work Walden\, or his influential essay Civil Disobedience\, this talk uncovers a different dimension: Thoreau as an innovative professional\, creative problem-solver\, and quietly successful entrepreneur. \nDiscover how Thoreau: \n\nTurned curiosity into opportunity\nApproached farming\, manufacturing\, surveying\, and writing with bold experimentation\nBuilt multiple income streams on his own terms\nModeled independence long before the modern gig economy\n\nLizotte brings to life Thoreau’s unconventional methods—revealing a man who didn’t just reject the status quo\, but redesigned it. \nThe book also features a special conversation with Erik Ewers and Christopher Loren Ewers\, Codirectors of Henry David Thoreau\, a three-part PBS documentary that reexamines Thoreau’s life and enduring influence. \nWhether you’re a business leader\, solopreneur\, student of history\, or simply someone seeking a more intentional professional path\, this event offers fresh insight into how one 19th-century thinker continues to shape modern innovation. \nCome prepared to rethink everything you thought you knew about Thoreau—and to leave with practical\, timeless strategies for carving your own unconventional path. \nThis event is part of The Write Connection at Thoreau Farm\, our literary series of programs.
