Friedrich Nietzsche - How To Own Yourself (Existentialism)
 
In this podcast we bring you how to own yourself from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. Friedrich Nietzsche is a great example of a man who stood by his views, who was not shy to express them in a straightforward manner, no matter the cost. In other words, he owned himself and, in his view, no price is too high for the privilege of owning yourself. 
 
To help you understand the ways in which you can better own yourself, here are 5 lessons we can learn from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche: 
01. Dare to stand alone 
02. Follow your wildest dreams 
03. Follow your goals, not a system
04. Embrace your demons 
05. Give style to your character 
I hope you enjoyed listening to these 5 ways you can own yourself 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 emphasises 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.
