Description Supposing Books How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World: A Handbook for Personal Liberty
In 1973 Harry Browne sent a simple message -- that you can live the life you want to live. 40 years after the publication of How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World, it is now being reissued in digital format -- to reach the millions of people around the world that are still seeking a point of view that is as refreshing, and liberating as it was when it first appeared on the scene. From the book: Freedom is the opportunity to live your life as you want to live it. And that is possible, even if others remain as they are. If you’re not free now, it might be because you’ve been preoccupied with the people or institutions that you feel have restrained your freedom. I don’t expect you to stop worrying about them merely because I suggest that you do. I do hope to show you, though, that those people and institutions are relatively powerless to stop you — once you decide how you will achieve your freedom. There are things you can do to be free, and if you turn your attention to those things, no one will stand in your way. But when you become preoccupied with those who are blocking you, you overlook the many alternatives you could use to bypass them. The freedom you seek is already available to you, but it has gone unnoticed. There probably are two basic reasons you haven’t taken advantage of that freedom. One reason is that you’re unaware of the many alternatives available to you.List Books To How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World: A Handbook for Personal Liberty

..This book teaches you how to start living your life in your own way , making your own choices , your own thoughts and How to accept Your own self. How to respect your own view of the world and making sure that it really your view not something you have been told.It was boring little bit but I enjoyed reading it ... You Need Time alone to act completely on your own desires .. To Be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best nights and day to make you somebody else means to fight theChild-level libertarianismThis is a truly awful book. I want my money back.General message: work out what makes you happy (fair enough) and then do whatever you need to get it. Including, in particular, avoiding paying taxes. Unsurprisingly, the "recommended reading" cites "Atlas Shrugged". That pretty much tells you all you need to know.The author explains, with evident satisfaction, how he divorced his wife and happily gave her sole access to his daughter, whom - at the point of writing - he

This book was recommended on a financial independence podcast over a year ago. I routinely checked every used book store I went into and eventually found it at Powell's in Portland. It was not on the shelf but hidden away in the back in a protective covering. What a build up!I had long forgotten why the book was recommend and assumed it had some money tips. It turns out I was reading a book about Libertarianism. The book goes through many traps that we put ourselves in that keep us from being
The basic idea of this book is that you should spend less time making your happiness contingent on activities that require lots of people to adopt in order to work, and to instead spend more time focusing on yourself to more easily live the life you want. For example: instead of devoting lots of time and energy to advocating for various social causes or political candidates, you should instead focus on removing yourself from various "traps" in life that keep you unnecessarily depressed or
My rating of this book may change as the ideas percolate further into my brain. I'll definitely be mulling over some of these concepts for a while, which is as the author intended. I like how the author says upfront that he doesn't expect or even intend for people to wholeheartedly accept every idea he lays out to incorporate into their lives. We as readers are invited to take or leave concepts as we please.His main premise is that each person should focus on their own happiness above all else.
A query from a friend prompts me to explain my four-star rating here. It was about 10 years ago that I read the book and I remember at the time that I liked it very much; I probably would have given it five stars then. But a long time has passed and I do not want to trust my judgement from that time. At the time Harry Browne (the author) was the Libertarian Party presidential candidate, and I was rather a fan of him. I recommended him to many people as a man of integrity. Later on I had reason
