Transcript Now Available for Jack Carr Webinar
What’s your favorite way to consume intellectual content—reading, watching, or listening? Whatever your preference, The Atlas Society has you covered. This time, we’re excited to share the transcript of one of our all-time favorite interviews with #1 New York Times bestselling author and former Navy SEAL sniper, Jack Carr. He joined The Atlas Society to discuss his book series The Terminal List and its adaptation as an Amazon video series starring Chris Pratt. Among the insights from the transcript, Carr shares his appreciation for Ayn Rand’s literature.
“I can't really imagine a life without having read Ayn Rand's work, thought about it, and internalized it. It would be a much darker place had I not discovered her early on and not just for the way that I try to live my life or think things through or apply logic to certain scenarios or issues or whatever it might be.”

Throwback Thursday: Objectivism & the Psychology of Self-Esteem
What is the psychology of self-esteem and what is its relationship to Objectivism? We invite you to listen to a talk by Nathaniel Branden at The Atlas Society’s 1996 Summer Seminar. In his first public speaking event to an Objectivist audience in over 28 years, he discusses how Objectivism has been well explored in the realm of epistemology and metaphysics, but there's still opportunity for greater development in the realm of ethics and psychology. Using his own background in psychology, Branden expands on his views about the importance of self-esteem, and how they connect with other Objectivist values.
