A collection of essays that sets forth the moral principles of Objectivism, Ayn Rand's controversial, groundbreaking philosophy.Since their initial publication, Rand's fictional works—Anthem, The Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged—have had a major impact on the intellectual scene. The underlying theme of her famous novels is her philosophy, a new morality—the ethics of rational self-interest—that offers a robust challenge to altruist-collectivist thought. Known as Objectivism, her divisive philosophy holds human life—the life proper to a rational being—as the standard of moral values and regards altruism as incompatible with man's nature. In this series of essays, Rand asks why man needs morality in the first place, and arrives at an answer that redefines a new code of ethics based on the virtue of selfishness.

Have you ever not known what you were feeling? Have you ever thought you should be angry, upset, or even joyous about something but all you felt was numb?\nNathaniel Branden, bestselling author of The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem, tackles the frightening problem some people face when they find themselves disconnected from their own emotions. In The Disowned Self, Branden explores the different ways in which people avoid or repress certain aspects of themselves for example, intellectualizing experiences instead of fully living them and shows the unnecessary loss in self-esteem that can result. Through powerful and effective self-exploration exercises, Nathaniel Branden reveals how you can liberate your repressed, or disowned self and fully integrate your thoughts, feelings, and actions to realize your true potential.

Breaking Free

What love is, why love is born, why it sometimes grows, and why it sometimes dies. Have you ever wondered how romantic love evolves? What the difference is between mature and immature love? What role sex plays in romantic love, and whether love necessarily implies sexual exclusivity? And, most important, how can we make love last? Originally published in 1980, this updated edition of The Psychology of Romantic Love explores the nature of romantic love on many levels-the philosophical, the historical, the sociological, and the physiological. Nathaniel Branden explains why so many people say that romantic love is just not possible in today's world and-drawing on his experience with thousands of couples-finds that such love is still a possibility for anyone who understands its essence and is willing to accept its challenges. Branden sees it as a pathway not only to extraordinary joy but also to profound self-discovery. His vision of love is thoroughly appropriate to our time and grounded in our humanness.
