The People Promoting Life, Reason, and Liberty—Even in a War Zone
Ukraine is one of the front lines in the fight not only for freedom but for the human spirit. That spirit was embodied beautifully in Ayn Rand Center Ukraine’s Intellectual Bootcamp.
Helen Keller’s Five Keys to Being Happy
When Helen Keller was nineteen months old, an illness left her blind, deaf, and consequently dumb. Her future looked bleak. But she would go on to live a life of success and happiness. How did she do it?
Why Does Hollywood Have an Originality Problem?
Hollywood executives could learn a great deal from successful businesspeople, who on some level understand that wealth generation depends on creating something new and useful—the opposite of being a slave to what’s worked in the past.
Happy Birthday, George Washington!
February 22 marks the birthday of America's first president. Happy birthday, George Washington, and thank you for all you did to create America and establish political freedom as the moral ideal!
Steve Jobs's Philosophy of Life
Steve Jobs was born on February 24, 1955. Imagine what we’d see if his philosophy became as widely embraced as his other products.
