Overview
Most people have only vague ideas of where they are on the map of their lives, they don’t know where to start or where to go. It’s as though someone takes out a street map of a major city that doesn’t tell them where to begin where to end, or where they are right now.
The Life of Liberty course aims to equip participants with a philosophical framework for approaching life and its big questions.
The first module of this course helps people find point A on the map by distinguishing their philosophy, including identifying their core values and virtues.
The second and third will help them identify where they’re going with those values and virtues, and how they will use their reason.
The fourth will equip them with an understanding of the economic system that will enable them to reach their goals.
Lastly, the fifth will explain to them the political system that suits their purposes.
This course will guide students in discovering the why, what, and how of pursuing their reason. This training program will equip leaders with applied tools to realize their goals, with implications in every aspect of their lives.
The course will discuss the Objectivist theory of life’s purpose and meaning, the psychology of responsibility and fulfillment, and economic decision-making related to career and other major life choices. The course will explore several philosophical perspectives, and support student development through exercises and activities that help them reflect on and become sophisticated in their own perspectives.
