Title: Not My Cup of Philosophy
Review: I knew that coming in, I would not like this book. It did inform me about the Objectivist philosophy, which I wanted, but this philosophy, in application, reduces man to a mercenary character. The fact that Ms. Rand quotes her own novels in support of her ideas (yes, yes, and to explain the reasoning for the novels as well) causes me to think that little research has been done in supporting her theories. Dr. Branden has some pretty outmoded ideas about where homosexuality, psychopathy and autism come from as well, and they seem to be pulled out of the air in order to support his points.All in all, not, to my mind, a life pattern to follow
