Overview
The Road Ahead is the perfect graduation gift: a thought-provoking volume of advice and motivation from literary heavyweights who have stood the test of time. Classic writers and philosophers including Marcus Aurelius, Jane Austen and Booker T. Washington provide guiding words of wisdom and solidarity.
With five themed sections containing essays, bitesize quotes and short, meditative poems, there’s plenty to dip into. The best parts of powerful speeches from Martin Luther King Jr. and Theodore Roosevelt are included here, as well as humorous addresses by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Mark Twain.
Find inspiring poems by Emily Dickinson (‘Hope is the thing with feathers’), Walt Whitman and Henry David Thoreau, alongside verses about choosing your path like Robert Frost’s iconic ‘The Road Not Taken’.
Pick the brains of the ancients as Seneca and Epictetus show us what we can and can’t control, while fables from Aesop remind us that slow and steady wins the race. Curated quotations for dealing with change, cultivating resilience, and finding happiness come from Tolstoy, George Eliot, Shakespeare, Kalil Gibran and many more.
