Branden, Nathaniel, Taking
Responsibility, Self-reliance and the accountable life,
Nathaniel Branden. In this invaluable and illuminating guide, the
author, the father of the self-esteem movement, turns his focus to
personal responsibility, a crucial component of genuine
psychological growth. This is a guide to self-realization through
self-reliance and offers a vision of a society transformed by a
new ethical individualism. It delineates four
goals: (1) To illuminate the meaning and
implications of self-responsbility as a way of living and of being
in the world. (2) To show that this practice is not an
onerous burden but a source of joy and personal power.
(3) To establish that we create ourselves - shape our
identity - through what we are willing to take responsibility for.
(4) To demonstrate that self-responsibility,
self-reliance, and individualism are essential to the well-being
of our society. Fireside Books, www.simonsays.com
