Importance Of Transcendentalism

After learning what a transcendentalist is and what they do i've decided that I wouldn't want to be part of that. A transcendentalist is a philosophy that started in the mid 1800’s that promotes intuitive, spiritual thinking instead of scientific thinking based on material things. Throughout this unit I've learned how to join, their beliefs, negative impacts, and benefits to join.
Firstly, If i'd been interested in this type of crowd it wouldn't be that hard to join. Transcendentalist place a importance on individualism, and views society as a corrupt force that needs to be reformed. So you would need to obviously have similar points of views. Also you should be yourself and not follow what others do, say wear, and go. You should also meditate

Some main things they believe in is real truth, spiritual entity, individualism, and nature. They believed that a big reason people feel unhappy or dissatisfied is that they try too hard to conform.

Which I don't really understand, because when I went outside for a while to walk my dogs all I felt from nature was its cold and windy weather. I didn't really connect or get any inspiration from nature, all I got was cold fingers and a cold nose. All these beliefs are essential to the way they

Some transcendentalist believe that they don't have to follow the laws. They think that they can trust themselves to be their own authority on what is right.
