The Heartmost Desire is author/filmmaker J. Neil Schulman's most personal book, containing his manifesto for why liberty is necessary for human self-realization and happiness, and his autobiographical description of the experiences that led him from atheism to God, but still relying on reason and rejecting religion, scripture, and faith.From the preface and foreword by fellow Prometheus-award-winning novelist, Brad Linaweaver:Over the years many fans of J. Neil Schulman have said theywant another book by him. Sometimes you get what you askfor ... but it's not always what you think you want.Neil Schulman is one of those writers who doesn't just writethe same book over and over and over. He writes a book whenhe has something to say.Neil crams more into single paragraphs than otherlibertarians put into entire boring tomes. He can rattle off morelimitations on our supposed free speech that most of us everconsider. He can recite a list of cultural taboos to frighten thestaunchest social conservative.Neil is a libertarian.So why is he so often in hot water with other libertarians,the natural audience for this book? ...A libertarian defends the right to be wrong. It takes a lot ofeffort to initiate force or fraud. Short of that, the libertarianis tolerant of actions that liberals and conservatives cannotunderstand.But a libertarian also has the right to judge the value ofvalues. A libertarian can have common sense. He can weighthe good and the bad in the shadowlands where ideas haveyet to be put into practice.There is one kind of libertarian who will derive no benefitfrom the words that follow. That is someone who has no heart.
