An Interesting Take on Objectivism

John Opincar sees a little Ayn Rand in Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series. He writes
"I recently started reading Terry Goodkind’s Wizard’s First Rule on an acquaintance’s recommendation. I’ve really enjoyed the book and as I was reading it, I recognized some Ayn Rand-ish concepts (IE objectivism)".
Richard values his own life and happiness and spreads that concept to other characters in the story:
"The proper moral purpose of one's life is the pursuit of one's own happiness."
