Dear Friends,

Nathaniel Branden is a great friend, wonderful teacher and legend in his field. No one in the world knows more about the topic of self-esteem. Nathaniel has taught me processes that have helped me be a better coach and teacher - and, more importantly - helped my clients!

Life is good.
Marshall

Nathaniel Branden

What is the specter that makes self-assertiveness feel so terrifying? The image of someone frowning in disagreement or disapproval."

Psychotherapist and philosopher Nathaniel Branden, Ph.D. is a lecturer, practicing psychotherapist, and author of twenty books on the psychology of self-esteem, romantic love, and the life and thought of Objectivist philosopher Ayn Rand. His work has been translated into 18 languages and has sold over 4 million copies, and includes such titles as Taking Responsibility , The Six Pillars of Self Esteem , and My Years with Ayn Rand.

The name Nathaniel Branden has become synonymous with the psychology of self-esteem, a field he began pioneering over thirty years ago. In that time, he has done more than any other theorist to advocate the importance of self-esteem to human well-being, a mission which began with his involvement in Objectivist philosopher Ayn Rand's "Inner Circle."
