Hiking with Nietzsche is a tale of two philosophical journeys in the Swiss Alps: one made by John Kaag as an introspective teenager, the other seventeen years later in radically different circumstances - as a husband and father with his wife and small child in tow. 

Kaag travels to the peaks above Sils Maria where Nietzsche routinely summered, and where he wrote his mysterious landmark work, Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Both trips are made in search of the wisdom at the core of Nietzsche's philosophy, yet they bring Kaag to radically different revelations about the human condition. Entertaining, intimate and thought-provoking, Hiking with Nietzsche explores not only Nietzsche's ideals but how his philosophy relates to us in the 21st century. (From the back of the book)

I was often asked 'Where to start reading Nietzsche?'. It is a hard question to answer, because each person has "their own" Nietzsche. Professor Kaag spent decades of his life studying and teaching philosophy of the famous philosopher. I believe his book is a perfect introduction to Nietzsche, because it combines three key elements: first of all it tells about N's key ideas; secondly it tells about the philosopher's hard life; and then it applies N's ideas to our own time, making it more tangible and applicable to us.
