Our Self-Esteem President

by Scott McPherson

Once upon a time, we had this crazy notion that people should accomplish goals, and in so doing learn that they are capable human beings. The reward is an earned sense of self-worth.

Some even surmount incredible physical, emotional, and mental obstacles. All will eventually gain a sense of self-esteem, what psychologist Nathaniel Branden defines as “the experience of being competent to cope with the basic challenges of life and of being worthy of happiness.”

And, in time, the person of high self-esteem reaches for greater heights. Sometimes he fails, but that psychological foundation helps him pick himself up off the ground and move ever upward.

Principles By Which We Live

ST. PAUL, MN/THE HOLLER, TN – The tagline for Motorhome Diaries is searching for freedom in America, which begs the often-asked question – “What exactly is freedom?” Though that question could lead to a long-winded response, it can easily be summarized as having choice. The ability to opt in or out.

Seems pretty simple, right? It should be. But unfortunately there exists today gangs that restrict choice or deny it entirely. Through the use of force or its threat, these gangs (aka governments) usurp our freedoms, stifle the civil society and create massive market distortions.

Larry Reed, Libertarian Communicator Extraordinaire, Describes His Personal Journey to Liberty & His Plans for FEE

IRVINGTON-ON-HUDSON, NY – Last summer I heard Larry Reed speak at the Liberty Summer Seminar, a weekend event held an hour east of Toronto, which was without question one of the best presentations I’ve yet heard due largely to his grasp of the ideas and communication skills. That’s why I was so pumped to nail-down an interview with him this past Saturday when we were at the headquarters for the Foundations for Economic Education, of which he is president.
