I read the following the same time I first read The Math Gene, of which I've read three times. To me, they seemed to compliment each other: http://www.amazon.com/Language-Instinct-Mind-Creates-P-S/dp/0061336467/ref=pd_sim_b_5

"Every human being is an end in himself, not the means to the ends or the welfare of others and therefore, man must live for his own sake, neither sacrificing himself to others nor sacrificing others to himself."

I dare you to read it, Matthew. I dare you to consider this point-of-view only for a few moments of your time.

How's this for ego-- by looking at the title, I'm almost sure what the message inside would be, and I already agree with it in part, without ever wasting my time to read through it. In fact, a safety manual on a plane would provide the same advice: "Affix your own breathing aide before attempting to help others". It's common sense. Does it need a book about it?

If I'm missing something, I'm sure it's a jaded and hyper extremist twist on this otherwise commonsensical idea.

I first heard of this book many years ago when I read on page 12: http://www.amazon.com/Winning-Through-Intimidation-Robert-Ringer/dp/0449207862
