I'm about half way thru The Fountainhead,and the Branden's sound like some of her characters.I've ck'd out AR on the net,but this(the Branden's)is news to me.What luck,she befriended a couple of sociopaths.
Nathaniel Branden has some books on self esteem which don't seem too bad. It seems strange because I went to a lecture of his last year and after that I have read some of Rand's works not knowing all the history between the two.
