FleurDeLune Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Re-reading AYN RAND's "The Virtue of Selfishness ( A New Concept of Egoism)"(with additional articles by Nathaniel Branden) The author discusses: The ethics of Objectivism, the philosophy that holds man’s life, the life proper to a rational being, as the standard of moral values – and regards altruism as incompatible with man’s nature, with the creative requirements of his survival, and with a free society. The architect of this new ethics first expressed her challenging ideas in her bestselling novels “Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead”. In this collection of essays on ethics, she defines the Objectivist viewpoint on moral issues and on many problems such as: the validation of egoism; the evil of self-sacrifice; the nature of government; individual rights; racism; the psychology of socialism. Objectivism has forged a revolution among today’s intellectuals. It stands in complete opposition to the political, social, and religious attitudes of our day. It is a challenging philosophy, a unique philosophy, a philosophy of and for our age. Edited March 15, 2015 by FleurDeLune Quote Link to comment

FleurDeLune Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Currently reading Silence (The Power of Quiet in a World Full of Noise)By: Thich Nhat Hanh About the book: The Zen master and one of the world's most beloved teachers returns with a concise, practical guide to understanding and developing our most powerful inner resource—silence—to help us find happiness, purpose, and peace. Many people embark on a seemingly futile search for happiness, running as if there is somewhere else to get to, when the world they live in is full of wonder. To be alive is a miracle. Beauty calls to us every day, yet we rarely are in the position to listen. To hear the call of beauty and respond to it, we need silence. Silence shows us how to find and maintain our equanimity amid the barrage of noise. Thich Nhat Hanh guides us on a path to cultivate calm even in the most chaotic places. This gift of silence doesn't require hours upon hours of silent meditation or an existing practice of any kind. Through careful breathing and mindfulness techniques he teaches us how to become truly present in the moment, to recognize the beauty surrounding us, and to find harmony. With mindfulness comes stillness—and the silence we need to come back to ourselves and discover who we are and what we truly want, the keys to happiness and well-being. About the author: Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese Buddhist Zen master, poet, scholar, and peace activist who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He is the author of many bestselling books, including the classics Peace Is Every Step, Fear, and The Art of Power. Hanh lives in Plum Village, his meditation center in France, and leads retreats worldwide Quote Link to comment
