Friedrich Nietzsche - How To Be Successful (Existentialism)

Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher, cultural critic, composer, poet, and philologist who is widely known for his unconventional ideas about morality and religion. He was one of the main precursors of existentialism and although his ideas were controversial among the traditional thinkers, he showed people the true nature of life and how individuals can shape their future with independent thought. According to Nietzsche, to be successful means to live life to the fullest, following your own mission in life and your own values.  His teachings have shaped the lives of many people; from psychologists to poets, dancers to several successful modern day entrepreneurs. 

So with that in mind, here are 5 lessons from Friedrich Nietzsche which we can adopt in our lives in order to be successful - 
01. Don’t follow the herd
02. Embrace your inner Dionysus
03. Find a father
04. Have a clear vision for the future
05. Get Stronger
I hope you enjoyed listening these ways to be successful from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche and find them helpful in your life. 

Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher, poet, essayist, and cultural critic. He is considered to be one of the most daring and greatest thinkers of all time. His writings on truth, morality, language, aesthetics, cultural theory, history, nihilism, power, consciousness, and the meaning of existence have exerted an enormous influence on Western philosophy and intellectual history. He was one of the biggest precursors of existentialism, which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent, determining their own development through acts of will. By his famous words “God is dead!”, Nietzsche moved the focus of philosophy from metaphysics to the material world and to the individual as a responsible person for his own life. Friedrich Nietzsche wrote several books like The Birth of a Tragedy,  Human, All Too Human, The Dawn, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Beyond Good and Evil, Twilight of the Idols, The Will to Power, The Antichrist, and many more. His teachings have shaped the lives of many people; from psychologists to poets, dancers to social revolutionaries.
