In this episode, Beatriz reflects on her lifelong pursuit of a worthwhile life, and explores Nietzsche’s concept of eternal recurrence —- the idea that we should live in a way that we would willingly relive our lives over and over. Contrasting Nietzsche’s philosophy with Schopenhauer’s pessimism, Beatriz examines this thought-provoking question: If faced with the eternal recurrence of your life exactly as it is, would you embrace it or see it as a curse —- and what does that say about your life now?
