Philosophy: the CEO of your life (and top productivity tool)

How can we use the philosophy of Ayn Rand as a self-development tool? Why is philosophy the ultimate guide, the 'CEO' of one's life?
These are some free-flowing thoughts (NOT a lecture) in a workshop on philosophy and self-development in Romania back in 2022, organized by the Ayn Rand Centre Romania.
(The idea of philosophy as 'the ultimate CEO' comes from Harry Binswanger and an article he wrote, available in the book 'Why Businessmen need Philosophy': www.amazon.com... )

Please upload more content. I would rather watch you than other self help content. Makes a lot of difference to be honest.

Nikos is an amazing speaker! If we can get more video like more 5min or 10 min videos, it would be nice! 30 minutes video are great but needs time on a regular basis! Anyway, whatever Nikos would do, I’ll be there and share it on social media. He needs to be known!!!!

[@eduardorpg64]

I agree! I feel the same! Nikos is one of the few people capable on talking about self-help, and make him want to take him seriously! Other self-help "gurus" just sound like they're BSing.

Thank you guys. Self-help isn't my expertise, it's just a personal interest of mine.

This was very good! Passion and clarity together! Nicely done Nikos!

Thank you!

The "philosophy is the CEO of your life" metaphor was amazing! I've been taking philosophy seriously for 3 years, and I had naver thought of philosophy that way! Just like a CEO makes the most important decisions in a company, philosophy handles the most important decisions in your life (heck, even the lesser decisions as well.) That's just one of the many things that I liked about this video. Awesome job as always, Nikos!

[@nikossotirakopoulos6876]

Many thanks! I couldn't remember it when I was giving these remarks, but I owe this metaphor to Harry Binswanger.

We need more Nikos in ARI.

[@nikossotirakopoulos6876]

Thank you for the kind words, will do more!

Who is the writer you spoke about that decided he will either write or kill himself?

Steven Pressfield, in 'Turning Pro'.
