Hi there. I am a recent Atlas Shrugged convert. This book has had a more significant impact on my thinking than any other. Excited to find this site. Hope to learn more from like minds.

    Greetings Aileen. To be a 'convert', it is implied that you were something prior to your current condition. What were you before? Glad you made it. Enjoy.

      Prior to starting this book, I was misled, confused and riddled with guilt. I'm still only half way through but this book has spoken to me like no other. My thinking is changing and I feel so much better for it. Thank you for your welcome.

        Ah yes.

        You were probably not guilty all along, huh?

        Welcome. Great book, huh?

          Yes you are absolutely right. Thank you. One example is I actually felt guilty about being the smartest kid in my primary school classes. I just tried my best as I thought I was meant to do. When the other kids bullied me I figured I deserved it for being a "show off" and getting top marks. Might sound ridiculous but only now in my mid 40s have I finally realised it wasn't my fault if my best happened to be better than that of my peers.
