LearnOutLoud.com Review
The term "Strenuous Life" is deeply associated with Theodore Roosevelt's biography, and in this collection of speeches and essays, the beloved 26th American President clarifies his lifelong philosophy on the importance hard work has in shaping both personal and national character. In both the title speech and the subsequent writings collected here, Roosevelt argues that one must never avoid the challenges that mark a particular era, for to do so would be a dereliction of duty and a tacit admission of cowardice. All men must have high ideals, the willingness to put in the work, and a shrewdness that balances big ambitions with practicality. This free version is narrated by one of Librivox's best performers, Bob Neufeld, who manages to capture a sense of Roosevelt's rambunctious energy.
