In this podcast we will be talking about 8 Life Lessons from Jean-Paul Sartre. Sartre was one of the leading philosophers who followed the philosophy of Existentialism. 

One of Sartre’s key-concepts that is discussed or prevalent in almost all of his existentialist works is the notion of “Bad Faith”, which he uses to describe and critique how most people tend to deny their own freedom. Alongside his notion of Bad Faith, Sartre has discussed many aspects of existentialism and ideas on human life that are extremely helpful.

So with that in mind, in this video we bring you 8 important life lessons derived from the works of Sartre. 
01. Dare to act
02. Face your freedom
03. Take responsibility 
04. Set an example
05. Embrace your fears
06. Don’t let others define you
07. Don't follow a doctrine 
08. Embrace your nothingness 
I hope you enjoyed watching the video and hope these 8 Life Lessons From Sartre will add value to your life. 

Jean-Paul Sartre was a French playwright, screenwriter, political activist, literary critic, and one of the leading philosophers who followed the philosophy of Existentialism: the philosophy that says that humans are born a blank slate and are free to determine their own identity, behavior and goals. Sartre was born in Paris at the beginning of the twentieth century and when he was around sixty years old, he was awarded the1964 Nobel Prize in Literature. He however refused the prize, claiming that “a writer should never allow himself to become an institution.” Sartre wrote many fictional and non-fictional books, essays and gave lectures on Existentialism. Some of his noted works are: Nausea, Being and Nothingness, Existentialism is a Humanism, and No Exit.
