DDDD: The media could not be loaded.  I knew I was purchasing a pocket sized MMP(mass market paperback) so set my expectation way below average, and found this a pretty decent copy. Of course, its pulp paper and of course it wont last decades. But currently this seems to be the only book available. Only major disappointment was that it got sent in an evelope. Also I felt it to be a bit on the expensive side for a pocket book but I wanted it, and thus got it. Check the pics for reference.

NerdJOJO: Ayn Rand was truly ahead of her time. Reading this was so enlightening and inspiring. In a world where atheism is always unfairly associated with the horrors of socialism, Rand paved the way for many free thinkers who have the potential to change society for the better. One of capitalism's greatest defenders.

Ruzuki: Un mix de ses plus grands monologues. Si vous avez déjà lu ses romans ça n'a aucuns intérêt.

Harriet Boe: I can’t help but think of Nora Ephron’s comment from her book of essays “Crazy Salad” on “The Fountainhead” ‘what’s the point!’ My sentiments exactly I think Ayn Rand in many respects is an Airhead. No pun intended! Laissez-faire of which Greenspan was a great proponent was part of the building blocks of the 2007-08 financial debacle. Rand’s philosophy for better or worse created the Me Generation. I would argue Rand that Where money is involved human nature cannot be left to its own devices. However no matter what you may think about Rand I recommend this book. A good case against collectivism. Excellent fodder for a thinking mind!

ANTHONY MONAGHAN: The world needs Ayn Rand, a must read for everyone👍

Abhishek: Ayn Rand at best though she misses out deliberately misinterpreting eastern mysticism, she is bang on for the the uninitiated.
Take it as a staring point with next one William Durant ... draw analogies gather more substance and suspend any premature conclusions.

Marcos Luz: This book is a kind of a summary from others written by Ayn Rand. It means if you are in a hurry to get all about Objectivism and is a little bit laze to read hundreds of hundreds of pages from books written by she, this is, probably, a good book for you (personally, I would recommend read all hers book instead just this one).

But, simple put, if you have already read all hers books this could be said as a kind of poor repetition of some Objectivism ideas. Finally, relevant to note that if you have already read the others books you will find here just 60 pages with new content.

Walter Stanley: In my Theory of Knowledge course I had my students write a few paragraphs on the proposition: “It is a wise man who knows what he does not know.” Only a few students understood that this statement actually meant that a wise man knows what he is ignorant of. Socrates, who had been informed by the Oracle of Delphi that he was the wisest man in Athens, did not believe this because he knew the extent of his ignorance. He eventually determined that that was precisely what made him wise. Ignorance, per se, is nothing to be ashamed of. We are all laymen, ignorant of nearly everything outside of a narrow range in which we might be experts, or at least comparatively knowledgeable. As long as we acknowledge this ignorance, it is “innocent ignorance.” Unfortunately, it is all too common to not acknowledge our ignorance. Arrogant ignorance -- having strong convictions about something that you are not qualified to have an opinion on -- is a good definition of stupidity.

If the opinion of an expert seems questionable to you, it is wise to not blindly accept it, but still, you should treat that opinion with respect. Unfortunately, laymen aren’t always capable of judging who the...

Hugh Akston: Ayn Rand's philosophical musings has struck a chord with me, because it challenges the generally accepted norms in society that do not stand the test of reality. She challenges ideas that at its root requires people to ignore or distort reality. The idea of the noble savage as a ideal to aspire to. She is the torch bearer for reason and freedom as the basis for a vibrant healthy society and not faith and force. I like her archetypes, "Attila" and the "witch-doctor", as they are an apt description of the type of the destructive "leadership" that pervades society today.

"I swear - by my life and my love of it - that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine." If the thinkers in the western world would start to think like her, we could perhaps turn the tide towards totalitarianism sweeping the western world and be the "free world" in reality and not in name only.
