Nathaniel Branden

Nathaniel Branden was a Canadian-American psychotherapist and writer renowned for his work on self-esteem psychology.

He played a significant role in promoting Ayn Rand's Objectivist philosophy during the 1960s and was also her romantic partner.

After their acrimonious split in 1968, Branden focused on developing his own psychological theories and therapeutic approaches.

His work emphasized the importance of self-esteem in personal development and mental health.

Branden's ideas have influenced the field of psychology and self-help literature, with his books and teachings continuing to impact readers and practitioners in the areas of personal growth and self-improvement.
