Imagine a world where rational thoughts and purposeful lives dominate. Now come back to our world of emotion, insecurity, lack of motivation and conflicting politicial views. If you ask me, Ayn Rand had it right over 50 years ago.
Reccommended to me by at least 4 trusted people in my network (of which, 1 even made a bet with me that this book would become my favorite), I had to read "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand. And it was probably the best decision I have made this year. Applicable to every, and I mean every, aspect of life (relationships? yup. business? yup. philosophy? LOVE it!!) this book has altered my fundamental way of thinking. No longer am I in it to be nice and make others happy; now I'm just in it to win it.
If I don't... well then... Who is John Galt?
"Aloud she said, 'I want you to know this. I started my life with a single absolute: that the world was mine to shape in the image of my highest values and never to be given up to a lesser standard, no matter how long or hard the struggle.'" - Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
