Well, at least check this out, FWIW:

Thanks. That was interesting. I can see how the book would be a life-changer for people, since it deals with themes most of us haven't thought much about, and it does it in a concrete way. Man's Search For Meaning is my #1, but it's probably a bit abstract for some.
I guess my only other point is that the Ayn Rand Institute has a product to sell, just like Fox News, a political party, or Major League Baseball. So, of course, they think their hammer is most suited to pound those liberal nails.
God bless 'em (God can still bless you even if you are an atheist), but to sign on is to believe in objectivism and all it entails, including abortion and God as myth, among other things. I'm not putting down the good folks over at the Ayn Rand Institute, they are the torchbearers of a logically coherent philosophical system called Objectivism that Ayn Rand founded. As is almost always the case with these types of organizations, the founder becomes almost like a God. I just find some of it a little creepy.
