Anthem really changed my perspective on an individual level. I feel like a lot of her work is taken on such a large scale, but if you look at it from your own point of view it's a pretty cool book. The whole premise of remaining an individual in a world that prides itself on community was an interesting idea to me. I would only take the idea and work it to become something more later on. My views have changed from those in the book (I find it better to balance community and individuality), but I still find it played a huge role in challenging my perspective.

Exactly, Ayn Rand, is not a describing how have a better society, fuck society... Be the best you can be, do something you like and do it %110 percent because you like to it. If everyone did that then society will take care of itself.
