The Ayn Rand Bookstore is pleased to announce a major new initiative: the conversion of our
self-published audio and video products to downloadable formats. We have entered into a

audio and video products. We plan to launch the new site with its first wave of downloadable
products within a few months.
Because of this, we are in a position to sell off our current CD and DVD products, while
supplies last. We have created a 50% discount on CD and DVD products published by the Ayn
Rand Bookstore.
Sale prices will remain effective until all of our existing CD and DVD inventory is sold out.
Recordings will be reintroduced in downloadable formats.

The Selfish Path to Romance
By Edwin A. Locke and Ellen Kenner
Most people believe that finding love and making a relationship work involves sacrifice, and think
that lasting passionate romance is the result of luck, chemistry, trial and error, or emotions of
the moment. In the new book The Selfish Path to Romance, psychologists Edwin Locke and
Ellen Kenner argue just the opposite. According to their view, real, lasting romance comes when you
are certain about yourself, your needs and your worth, and is the result of thinking—including
identifying the causes of your emotions—and being proactive about enhancing your relationship.
Inspired by Ayn Rand's belief that "it is one's personal, selfish happiness that one seeks, earns
and derives from love," The Selfish Path to Romance offers a mindful alternative to the
contemporary view of love for those who are serious about finding and sustaining a lifetime
romance … more

100 Voices: An Oral History of Ayn Rand
By Scott McConnell
Drawing on 100 never-before-published interviews, Scott McConnell presents a unique portrait
of a larger-than-life literary giant and a fascinating individual. Focusing on the private
Rand, McConnell talked to the author's family, friends, fans, and associates, as well as
Hollywood stars, university professors, fiction writers, and many more. Arranged in
chronological order, these interviews cover a broad range of years, contexts, relationships,
and observations on one of the most influential—and controversial—figures of the
twentieth century. From Ayn Rand's youngest sister to the woman who inspired the character
of Peter Keating in The Fountainhead, the subjects interviewed offer fresh,
sometimes surprisingly candid, affectionate, and intriguing insights into a complex and
remarkable writer, philosopher, and human
being … more

Neoconservatism: An Obituary for an Idea
By C. Bradley Thompson
With Yaron Brook
This book reveals publicly for the first time what the neoconservatives call their “philosophy of governance”—their
plan for governing America. This book explicates the deepest philosophic principles of neoconservatism, traces the
intellectual relationship between the political philosopher Leo Strauss and contemporary neoconservative political actors,
and provides a trenchant critique of neoconservatism from the perspective of America’s founding principles. The theme of
this timely book—neoconservatism as a species of anti-Americanism—will shake up the intellectual salons of
both the Left and Right … more

stalemate … more

Winning the Unwinnable War
Editor and lead contributor Elan Journo
Additional essays by Yaron Brook and Alex Epstein
The message of the essays in this thematic collection is that only by radically re-thinking our foreign policy in the Middle
East can we achieve victory over the enemy that attacked us on 9/11. We need a new moral foundation for our Mideast policy.
That new starting point for U.S. policy is the moral ideal championed by Ayn Rand: rational self-interest. Implementing this
approach entails objectively defining our national interest as protecting the lives and freedoms of Americans—and then
taking principled action to safeguard them. The book lays out the necessary steps for achieving victory and for securing
America's long-range interests in the volatile Middle East … more
