The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation

Thoreau was an individual I thoroughly enjoyed trying to learn about and decipher. After uncovering many aspects and motives of his writings it's clear to see there is a lot more going on in his life than meets the eye. One of the things I admire most about Thoreau was his determination to find answers and prove or disprove things, but the intent or reasonings behind this was more important to me. Thoreau experiments with the pond and finding the deepest point, it's interesting because the townsfolk believe it is a bottomless pond. This is symbolic for the longing hope that man has for eternal life or understanding what comes after death. But for Thoreau, he is able to find this elsewhere and doesn't feel the need to receive it from the pond.

My question is what can be taken away from the Walden experiment and incorporated into the lives of the mass of men?
