While conversing with Luis Figueroa, Yaron Brook explains the true concept of self-interest, according to Ayn Rand's philosophy, listing the virtues that define it, such as rationality, honesty, integrity, pride, and productiveness, which all together lead to human flourishing. He argues that contrary to what detractors claim, taking care of oneself can only lead to construction, instead of destruction. Brook concludes by suggesting reading materials for students to fully grasp the ideology of Ayn Rand.
