Leonard Peikoff
Peikoff, as Rand's foremost interpreter, here reveals both the abstract fundamentals of objectivism and its practical applications, with much new material that Rand offered only in private conversations with Peikoff.

As always Ayn Rand's philosophy is honest in its terms, thorough in its reasoning, and profound in its implications.
The only downside is that the narrator speaks with a very smug tone, especially when reading sections referring to the works of other philosophers or philosophical fallacies. It's disconcerting to hear Ayn Rand's ideas in Peikoff's sincere words with such a sneering voice.
Great work of philosophy could be presented better

What did you love best about Objectivism?
The applied Objectivist virtues where the rubber of philosophy meets the road of our lives.What does Johanna Ward bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Her reading of this essential Objectivist text gives it a serious energy and cadence that from reading it I didn't impart. The sound quality and her voice are good; she is precise and gives the impression of being knowledgeable about the subject. She is far better than most I've heard on audible.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
In one setting of 20 hours this is probably not advised but for a daily commute of an hour each day you can zoom through this. I played at 1.25x speed which is enough of a pickup to still understand the crucial details of the material but I wouldn't advise going much faster unless you are a savant.Fantastic Comprehensive Classic Spoken Well

El libro está estructurado y construido igual que su filosofía, de forma sólida y coherente.
Debo decir que la aportación de Leonard Peikoff es principalmente compiladora (que no es poco) y no interpretativa de la filosofía objetivista.
Absolutamente recomendable, tanto para los interesados en la filosofía de Ayn Rand como para los amantes de la filosofía en general.
La lectura de Johanna Ward es francamente buena y se entiende muy bien aunque uno no tenga un nivel de inglés precisamente nativo.
En resumen, recomiendo sin reservas su lectura.
Magnífico. Lectura absolutamente recomendable.
