The Objectivist's Guide to the Galaxy

"When I read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, I was entertained and laughed quite a bit, but the 'ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything' was quite unsatisfying for a kid looking for truths. This book offers new perspectives and answers to forty-two of life's deep questions, which will surely enrich one's search for philosophical truths."

-Tal Tsfany, President & CEO of the Ayn Rand Institute.

"Dr. Cendes tackles the profound questions of existence with wit, rigor, and intellectual courage in The Objectivist's Guide to the Galaxy. By uniting objectivist philosophy with the principles of modern science, he delivers illuminating answers to questions often dismissed as unanswerable. From 'How does my brain work?' to 'What is consciousness for?' Cendes addresses wide-ranging topics with clarity, logic, and great insight. This book challenges readers to rethink their assumptions and explore reality with purpose and precision. An essential guide for anyone ready to dive deeper into life, the universe, and everything in between through the lens of reason."

-Dr. Wolf von Laer, CEO of Students For Liberty.

"'Forty-two'-Zol Cendes winks at Douglas Adams's amusingly absurd answer to the question of the meaning of life-and then proceeds to give serious answers to life's biggest questions. Cendes's hard-earned wisdom will enrich your own human and humanistic thinking."

-Stephen Hicks, Professor of philosophy & author of seven books.

"To fully appreciate the magnitude of the achievement represented in The Objectivist's Guide to the Galaxy, consider its author's rise from being born to Hungarian refugees in an Austrian refugee camp, to ultimately coming to America to become an engineering professor, to founding an enormously successful software company. Cendes brings the same determination, engineering acumen, and clear-eyed objectivity to seeking answers to life's ultimate questions. And the questions Cendes raises are fundamental for all who are serious about ideas.
