Reason. Achievement. Ethical Self-Interest: The pillars of a free, dynamic, and peaceful society.

The Atlas Society promotes open Objectivism: the philosophy of reason, achievement, individualism, and freedom.

Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism was set forth in such works as her epic novel Atlas Shrugged, and in her brilliant non-fiction essays.

Objectivism is designed as a guide to life, and celebrates the remarkable potential and power of the individual. Objectivism also challenges the doctrines of irrationalism, self-sacrifice, brute force, and collectivism that have brought centuries of chaos and misery into the lives of millions of individuals.

It provides fascinating insights into the world of politics, art, education, foreign policy, science, and more, rewarding you with a rich understanding of how ideas shape your world. Those who discover Objectivism often describe the experience as life-changing and liberating.

Pete Worrell, author of Intention: Unlocking the Lifeforce Inside High-Performing Entrepreneurs, Pete Worrell similarly rejects this dichotomy with his provocatively titled chapter, “Work-Life Balance? Schmalance.”
