Listen "3. Nietzsche's glad tidings"
Episode Synopsis
"Message the show"What is happiness, and how is it achieved? In this episode, we begin our exploration of Nietzsche’s provocative ideas of happiness, desire, and self-overcoming. Is happiness simply getting what we want? Or is it something deeper—something tied to struggle, triumph, and the will to power? Exploring the limitations of desire, the Epicurean pursuit of contentment, and Nietzsche’s rejection of passive pleasure, we uncover a vision of happiness that demands more than comfort—it demands transformation. Tune in as we start to unfold Nietzsche’s philosophy and its radical implications for living a fulfilled life.Music: The Arrival of the Birds by The Cinematic Orchestra and The London Metropolitan orchestraYouTubeSpotifyApple MusicSupport the showIf you value Will to Joy (formerly Becoming Übermensch) and you want more, please ensure its continued existence by supporting the show If you are interested in delving deeper into this work and are hungry for greater challenges, I also now have a Patreon.
