"To Think, or Not to Think" | The Yaron Brook Series | Episode 4 (WiM208)

Yaron Brook joins me for a discussion on Ayn Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism where we discover how Reason has created progress, freedom, and the pursuit to a good life. This series will loosely follow Ayn Rand's written work "The Virtue of Selfishness."
