Selfish Path to Romance: How to Love With

Just about everything most of us have learned about how to find love is wrong. That 8217 the premise of The Selfish Path to Romance. Love is not about sacrifice. Real, lasting romance comes when you are certain about your self, your needs, and your worth. In the words of top-selling novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand, It is one one personal, selfish happiness that one seeks, earns and derives from love. Authors Dr. Edward Locke and Dr. Ellen Kenner are inspired by the work of philosopher and novelist Ayn Rand. Their book explores Ayn Rand& belief that the assertion of your own needs and values is the foundation of love. The Selfish Path to Romance offers a no-nonsense, rational alternative for those who are serious about finding and sustaining a lifetime romance. Be prepared to have your preconceptions shattered, your intuition challenged, and be ready for candid introspection.

Psychologist Dr. Ellen Kenner, Host of "The Rational Basis of Happiness(R)" national radio show. Psychologist Dr. Edwin A. Locke is a prolific author on human behavior and Objectivist conferences speaker.
