Index
NATHANIEL BRANDEN With a Ph.D. in psychology and a background in philosophy, Nathaniel Branden is a practicing psychotherapist in Los Angeles and a corporate consultant. Branden is the best-selling author of The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem, Self-Esteem in the Workplace, and A Woman's Self-Esteem.
"Dr. Branden's account of his complex relationship with theliterary
great . . . allows us a fascinating glimpse into thepassions of
their lives--intellectual and personal. . . . [It is]not only a
memoir of a mythic woman . . . but a chronicle of astirring
intellectual commitment to a political morality thatindivudally
could only fail." (NAPRA ReView)
"What a story! It's heroic, romantic, deadly, horrifying,tender-and
I couldn't put it down." (George Leonard, author of
TheTransformation and Education and Education and Ecstasy)
"Relentlessly revealing. . . the myth of Ayn Rand gives way to
afull-sized portrait in contrasting colors, appealing and
appalling,potent and paradoxical. . . . it takes a special kind of
nerve towrite such a book." (Norman Cousins, author of Head First
and TheHealing Heart)
"Non-stop theater. All the ingredients are there: conflict,colorful
characters, suspense, and a Greek inevitability of tragedyborn of
hubris. There's a nexus of sex nearly dizzying in itspermutations."
(Dale Wasserman, playwright and screenwriter, Man ofLa Mancha and
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest)
"Branden plots his relationship with Rand from a
psychologicalvantage point, with devastatingly articulate results.
. . . Afascinating portrait of Rand and her disciples."
(KirkusReviews)
"Do you know my greatest reward for 'The Fountainhead?' You."
(AynRand to Nathaniel Branden)
