He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.
A Journey Through Friedrich NietzscheBy Dror LaniadoRecorded TrackLength2h 6m
About this audiobook
What makes a life worth living? Dror Laniado explores Friedrich Nietzsche through tragedy, the free spirit, the death of God, nihilism, suffering, self-overcoming, the creation of values, eternal recurrence and amor fati. Short source passages, read by Richard Basston, accompany an original interpretation presented in Dror's own voice. The familiar promise of purpose becomes a deeper question: does our reason for living help us affirm life, or does it quietly turn us against it? A thoughtful journey through Nietzsche's published works, with room for their tensions and their challenges.
