41: Friedrich Nietzsche - How To Live A Good Life (Existentialism)
In this episode, we will talk about how to live a good life from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. Friedrich Nietzsche was one of the main precursors of existentialism and emphasised on the importance of putting our will in the actions we take in life and how to make the best out of it.
Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher who lived in the second half of the 19th century.
He was physically sick most of his life and spent his last years almost unconscious due to a mental breakdown. In spite of this, he gave great insights into the world of human psychology, including what it means to live a ‘good life’. For him, a good life does not mean comfort and pleasure, it means mainly a life in which you live authentically and freely, following your own values and aspirations. To help you understand how to live a good life, here are 9 lessons we can learn from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche:
01. Focus on real life
02. Live a meaningful life
03. Follow your own life goals
04. Keep your mind open
05. Take care of your body
06. Embrace your “evil” qualities
07. Consume art
08. Cultivate friendship especially in romantic relationships
09. Be patient with your self-growth

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.
