The Rational Egoist

I recently got to chat with Michael Liebowitz about my book Effective Egoism. In our wide-ranging conversation we delve into overcoming obstacles, the nature of creativity, the connection between reason and happiness, and much more.

Effective Egoism 101

The conception of earthly idealism I champion was defined by Ayn Rand. Here are three key works that summarize her perspective:

• Faith and Force: Destroyers of the Modern World by Ayn Rand

• Causality vs. Duty by Ayn Rand

• The Objectivist Ethics by Ayn Rand

And if want the full case for egoism, you can buy my book Effective Egoism: An Individualist’s Guide to Pride, Purpose, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
