I think these books are important reading for young people grasping ideas and in danger of succumbing to popular culture and irrational ideas -- and still ending up confused or in difficult circumstances.
Stefan Molyneux has been doing a great job IMO. He's been pilloried on the internet, being called all sorts of names and even accused of running a cult.
"The Cult of Individualism" -- do you know how ridiculous that sounds? Sounds like something someone would pull out of their rear end when they're losing an argument.
Then again, being free, engaging in voluntary associations, striving at private, individual enterprise, valuing private property and living by you own terms and not bowing to any creed or arbitrary authority... let's face it, you are going to be hunted down and attempts to enslave you and steal your stuff are going to happen.
Freedom -- like anything of 'value' -- is never and never can be free.
Thankfully because of people like Stefan Molyneux, books on freedom can indeed be free.
Thank you Stefan Molyneux for your selfish gift. Yes, selfish. And egoistical. I'll bet Mr Molyneux feels damn good for giving such huge value away. I'll also bet he enjoys the feeling of 'success'. And you know what? He's earned it, fair and square.
