Non-Negotiables: Defining Core Values with Dr. Nauman Naeem

In this thought-provoking episode of The Rational Egoist, Michael Liebowitz is joined by Dr. Nauman Naeem, a pulmonary and critical care specialist with a lifelong fascination for human behaviour and self-actualisation. Together, they explore the concept of "non-negotiables"—the values and principles that form the foundation of a purposeful life. Dr. Naeem shares insights on identifying these core values, why they are essential to personal growth, and how to live in alignment with them. This episode offers practical advice for those seeking clarity in their priorities and a stronger sense of self.

Michael Leibowitz, host of The Rational Egoist podcast, is a philosopher and political activist who draws inspiration from Ayn Rand’s philosophy, advocating for reason, rational self-interest, and individualism. His journey from a 25-year prison sentence to a prominent voice in the libertarian and Objectivist communities highlights the transformative impact of embracing these principles. Leibowitz actively participates in political debates and produces content aimed at promoting individual rights and freedoms. He is the co-author of “Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime” and “View from a Cage: From Convict to Crusader for Liberty,” which explore societal issues and his personal evolution through Rand’s teachings.
