Introduction to Radical Selfishness

Radical Selfishness is a philosophy-driven approach that blends stoic wisdom and Ayn Rand’s Objectivism to foster personal growth, mental resilience, and clarity in decision-making. The aim is to guide individuals to align their actions with rational self-interest, self-assurance, and integrity. It challenges users to focus on self-sufficiency, personal responsibility, and rejecting external validation. Radical Selfishness is not about disregarding others but about prioritizing personal values to achieve happiness and fulfillment through clear, logical thinking. Example: An entrepreneur may face a dilemma between satisfying public demand for unethical business practices or holding true to their values. Radical Selfishness would urge them to prioritize long-term personal integrity over short-term gains, thereby aligning with their rational self-interest.
