Synopsis

Summary: In this episode we are joined by Michael R. Edelstein, clinical psychologist and author of several books. We talk to Dr. Edelstein about the Objectivist conception of self-esteem, cognitive-behavior therapy, and the relationship between psychology and society. What did Branden and Rand get wrong about human psychology, and why does it matter? Happiness, and now self-esteem?! What is this podcast's obsession with making sure you aren't feeling good (see also, our interview with Ashley Frawley)? Who is Milo Tosser? What's better than a real Nilla Wafer? Find out the answers to all of these questions in this week's episode. Do you have gushing compliments for either us or Dr. Edelstein?
