He wrote several books, including “Thus Spoke Zarathustra”, “Beyond Good and Evil”, “The Birth of Tragedy”, “The Twilight of the Idols” and his teachings continue to shock the world, even today. For Nietzsche, history itself is a process of creating geniuses; each genius is somebody who creates the mental world in which his successors will live. In other words, the history of the world follows the work of the geniuses. Although Nietzsche’s life took a tragic turn, he created a new mental world to inspire generations. His teachings inspire everyone who dreams of becoming a genius, helping them to find that inner voice to guide them throughout their life.
