Are you drifting in life without a purpose?  Do you feel lost in life? Or are you searching for a better life?

This article is abut the thinking viewpoint of Ayn Rand and her many videos on the subject of humanity, economics and life. Ayn Rand has inspired individuals around the world to discard convention and pursue a better life. See for yourself what her philosophy is all about by viewing the videos below.

Alice O'Connor was born Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum in Russia on February 2, 1905 and died on March 6, 1982. Better known by her pen name Ayn Rand, she was a Russian-born American author and philosopher. She is known for her fiction and for developing a philosophical system she named Objectivism. Born and educated in Russia, she moved to the United States in 1926. After two early novels that were initially unsuccessful and two Broadway plays, Rand achieved fame with her 1943 novel The Fountainhead. In 1957, she published her best-selling work, the novel Atlas Shrugged. Afterward, until her death in 1982, she turned to non-fiction to promote her philosophy, publishing her own periodicals and releasing several collections of essays.

When The Fountainhead was first published, Ayn Rand's daringly original literary vision and her groundbreaking philosophy, Objectivism, won immediate worldwide interest and acclaim. This instant classic is the story of an intransigent young architect, his violent battle against conventional standards, and his explosive love affair with a beautiful woman who struggles to defeat him. This edition contains a special afterword by Rand's literary executor, Leonard Peikoff, which includes excerpts from Ayn Rand's own notes on the making of The Fountainhead. As fresh today as it was then, here is a novel about a hero-and about those who try to destroy him.
