Therapist Reviews Book One of the Will to Power | Devan Rohrich Ep. 10

My attitude toward this book has changed a number of times, and I imagine that it will continue to change as time goes on. Taking a year and a half to read 82 pages has had its challenges as well. Working through the desire to push through despite not grasping the concepts fully has taught me a lot of patience in addition to the richness of Nietzsche's thoughts. This book has also contributed to deepening my faith, which is, on the face, pretty ironic but I believe that Nietzsche misunderstood the problem fundamentally and that we have to look toward the Christian Truth again as the salvation from earthly woes. We have a profound opportunity, as we often do, to choose between flourishing or destructing, Truth or lies, and rightousness or sin. It is strange to discuss the mingling of these ideas amidst the relativist, secular, empirical background that encapsulates modern science; however, if we are able to look past what we see now and imagine what it might be if we acknowledged faith and reason as two parts of the whole human experience, then we might see how to overcome, as Nietzsce believed we must, the base and destructive tendencies we humans create.

This was my first book review, and I thought it was a great experiment. I know that many things could be improved, aside from my alllergies, and I would love to know what YOU think I could improve to make our conversation a richer experience. So, please let me know in the comments what I might improve to make the experience better! I appreciete you checking the video out and I look forward to seeing you next time!
