Reveries of a lonely walker

Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the French writer and philosopher, led a remarkable life. Despite exile, flight and personal challenges, he continued to write. His "Reveries of a Solitary Walker" is a continuation of his honest "Confessions". In these he reflects on success, contempt and his difficult fate. The "musings" are his means of survival, a way of dealing with the world around him. He shares them with others and gives instructions on how to become happy: "The source of true happiness lies within ourselves and no power in the world can make someone miserable who wants to be happy and knows how to become so."
