"Just calling to congratulate you on your last two articles. You are so right on. The 'Road Rage' article was great, and you know, if people would take responsibility for their own actions instead of blaming everybody else, we would be approaching heaven on Earth here. Also your current article again was right on -- the fallacy of "helping." So you're doing a great job and I encourage it. I encourage everyone to read your articles and see what they think. They are really good. Thanks a lot, and keep doing a good job!"

This is just to echo what I'm sure many people have told you, how much I value and appreciate your clear, concise insights into the topics you address.

I look at you as the authentic, integrated Objectivist/Austrian who specializes in psychology.

Like [Ayn] Rand and [Ludwig] von Mises, you give a clear and accurate presentation of the ideas and premises of those who you take exception with and procede with facts and logic, building solid arguments from fundemental premises to inescapable conclusions. You often begin with the concretes and work back to the premises. The links are always presented in ways that capture the essense of the connections.

You are the first person I have read or spoken to who is able to apply Objectivist principles to life. Most of us cannot explain this at all, let alone as well as you have been able to. Every Objectivist I know always asks how can we apply these principles to life and we spend hours discussing this when all we needed was "Grow Up America!"

"Atlas Shrugged" describes Objectivism but it is you who puts it in easy enough terms for all of us to understand how it applies to our daily living as well as how we can have the best possible life.

I would love to see “Grow up America” as one of the books that all students, therapists and adults read.  It would help all people have a better, healthier, happier life.  Parents would especially benefit as well as anyone interested in having a healthy relationship and the best possible life.

Dr. Hurd deserves praise.  I have never met anyone as bright as he who conveys his thoughts so well in both word and writing.  The book that had the most influence on our lives was “Atlas Shrugged” but for me it is now “Grow Up America."

"'Grow Up America!' [Dr. Hurd's second book] was the first time I ever read anything that coincided so perfectly with my values and beliefs!"
