The faith we need to cultivate, he argues, is not a religious faith in eternity but a secular faith devoted to our finite life together. He reveals that all spiritual questions of freedom are inseparable from economic and material conditions. What ultimately matters is how we treat one another in this life, and what we do with our time together.

These pages represent two chapters of my recently updated book, The REAL Purpose-Driven Life plus an additional chapter on good versus evil. I removed the afore-mentioned chapters because I wanted to focus, in that book, on the central moral concept known as purpose. These chapters, although central to an understanding of the morality of Ayn Rand, stand on their own and provide several important insights on how to think about morality and apply it to the life of the individual.

Where do you get your values and sensibilities from? If you grew up in a Western democracy, the answer is probably liberalism.

The alternatives of having and being are basic orientations of our character and determine our behavior. The mostly unpublished and unknown texts featured in The Essential Fromm encapsulate the psychologist's views on the fulfilling life.

For most of us, agnostics and faithful alike, they have been relegated to the level of a symbol, their teachings all but forgotten.

Stories of the Black Belts is unfortunately only a partial story. It’s partial because I don’t have all of the thousands of Black Belts we have trained since 1995 in here and more importantly because it’s only a snapshot. It’s just one moment in time where each Black Belt – as a requirement to become a first degree (or second or third degree or higher) Black Belt needed to take a moment and write an essay about “What Karate Means To Me”. While many of these Black Belts are still training and I know their current story, in the last two and a half decades I would love to know ...
