Books
- The Art of Living Consciously
In this new book, Dr. Branden examines in unprecedented depth what
it means to "live consciously" -- from the most intimate areas of
life, to the workplace, to the social/political arena. One of the
most exciting ideas he introduces is that of "the spirituality of
reason." This is an operations manual for our basic tool of survival
-- the mind -- and a summons to the best within us. Available at your
local bookstore.
- Taking Responsibility: Self-Reliance and the Accountable
Life
In this book, Nathaniel Branden explores the multiple meanings and
applications of the idea of self-responsibility -- moving from the

self-responsibility to be the source of personal power. And it offers
the vision of a society transformed by a new ethical individualism.
