Friedrich Nietzsche - How To Achieve Self Mastery (Existentialism)
In this video we bring you how to achieve self mastery from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche. Friedrich Nietzsche believed that the fundamental drive of all living things is the so-called Will to Power, which is often seen as the impulse to overcome one’s environment, the impulse to grow, expand, and explore, but the greatest power one can possess, in Nietzsche’s view, is not the power over other people or environment, but the power over your own self. Mastering yourself is the foundation of all the other skills and powers you have and it is the one you have to focus on first in order to achieve greatness.
To help you understand the ways in which you can achieve self-mastery, here are 7 lessons we can learn from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche:
01. Obey yourself first
02. Strengthen your will
03. Master your temper
04. Master your decision-making process
05. Master your body
06. Master your heart
07. Find happiness in self-mastery
I hope you enjoyed watching these 7 ways you can achieve self-mastery from the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche and find them helpful in your life.
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.

... On obedience, Thomas Jefferson said, if a law is unjust, not only is a man right to disobey it, he is obligated to disobey it....... currently, this especially applies to all our cockamamie anti cannabis laws.
Thank you for a great work you do to share such deep knowledge around
A great soul!
More of Nietzsche’s visceral distain for Socialism and the harm it does to the individual:
Socialism itself can hope to exist only for brief periods here and there, and then only through the exercise of the extremest terrorism. For this reason it is secretly preparing itself for rule through fear and is driving the word “justice” into the heads of the half-educated masses like a nail so as to rob them of their reason… and to create in them a good conscience for the evil game they are to play.”
-Friedrich Nietzsche, Human, All Too Human
“Socialism the logical conclusion of the tyranny of the least and the dumbest”
-Friedrich Nietzsche, The Will To Power
“Socialism is the phantastic younger brother of despotism, which it wants to inherit. Socialism wants to have the fullness of state force which before only existed in despotism. ... However, it goes further than anything in the past because it aims at the formal destruction of the individual ...”
-Friedrich Nietzsche, The Will To Power
No offense, while you might be right about Nietzsche and his philosophy-your business advice is flawed. If you want to become a millionaire, the best way is working hard, budgeting very carefully every day, and slowly but surely accumulating wealth-not entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is a risk-you could make a lot of money, but you could also go bankrupt as many small businesses do follow this route. If you don't like your 9-5 job-then I would recommend just not caring as much about being a millionaire or find a new job...
Great words of wisdom towards self-mastery
1. Obey yourself first
2. Strengthen your will
3. Master your temper
4. Master your decision making process - Yes Vs No
5. Master your body - physical vs spiritual
6. Master your heart
7. Find happiness in self-mastery - camel->lion->child #rebirth

It’s interesting how many self help videos have a strong entrepreneurial bent. It makes sense that entrepreneurs are disseminators of such information but for the non-entrepreneurial worker you have to reimagine and recontextualize the advice and examples given to make it actionable. Not a critique of the material herein but rather an observation of how it can be used.
nice surname I am from Scotland, what about you? and observation, the crossover to entrepreneur myself
I just took a phatt dump
Materialism is terrible and the fact that its utilized by so many self help gurus is probably only for profit and so perpetually, they build their cults of success and well being, having their followers run in circles for them
You don't have to do that al
If that’s the price for having this valuable information at the palm of my hand, then I’d gladly pay for it.

I love the philosophy biographies and specially your videos because there are very visual, colorful, shorts and excellent explanations. I'm using it to practice English and it is perfect too. Thank you so much.
I have an attitude of gratitude and a mindset of joy and abundance in all its forms. Thank you for sharing this video with us.
I remember awakening; when I questioning why there is even existence; I realized I was part of the entire universe.
I was the same energy, the same essence & made of the substance from the beginning of time.
We are all one with everything and will transform back into everything. People, trees, squirrels; We are all but stardust; part of the eternal beauty & oneness of the universe.
It is all so magnificent; that I am humbled and honored to be a part of it all.
But why are we here?
Beautiful comment 👏🏼
@jumatron20
There is no right or wrong answer. Except the answer you come up with for yourself. Otherwise a person becomes like a ship sailing the seas endlessly and never reaching a destination. It is the burden that we are born with, but in the same token, living that journey to finding your reason / why, is what makes it an incredible experience.
Purpose? Or rather point? 🤔
@@jameslondon7553 if we all had our own opinions on why we're here wouldn't that just be mass confusion? There should be a universal reason as to our existence.
That was such a valuable video of truth and wisdom. I'll be taking notes while I listen to it again. Thank you.
It takes one whole life, it takes consistency.
Hi babe
THIS IS THE VIDEO THAT MAKES ME FEEL MEANING IN LIFE. thanku so much!!!!!
We all need a break from Drug sex rock and roll/rap. I watched these videos once a week or just having it play in the background as I work/trade or on a walk through the urban homeless abundance cities. Keeps me grounded. Just as a reminder to stay authentic and take accountability is still practical nowadays. Also for introducing me to people I wouldn’t have ever encountered on my own and in my environment. Keep it coming. I appreciate it the effort and positive ripples. Thank you 💯 8/17/2021 #relevant #MoralCompass

@@alisaraf5236 just because you can’t find meaning in it doesn’t mean others can’t lmao.
Just as the “Master your temper” chapter was starting, the pizza I was eating fell out of my hand and onto my phone screen. Fortunately, the video was still playing so no harm done. Temper mastered.
Mate, you’ve cracked it. You should spread your wisdom
Absolutely love your videos
This is the best side of youtube.
What an amazing and insightful video. Thank you
People desire meaning more than they desire power, although the will to power can become ones meaning
Yes, thanks.
And people desire belonging more than they perhaps desire meaning. Belonging, for many, suffice for meaning.
Heyy I watched your videos😊
Great work
That is incredible
Thank you for this information
I used to read lots of self help books. I noticed toward the end the authors seem to do a lot of self promotion. so I stopped feeling the need to feel needy. Besides they were getting to be time consuming. With this channel, and many like it, I get the infromation I want in short, sharp and to the point, with miniscule promotion. The titles grabs my attention. He is a great modern thinker.
Excellent contribution. Chasing darkness & enlightening
Really inspiring!💗
Thank you!!!!

Word of wisdom
What a nice lesson to know..
I learned alot from neitzsche he improved my life significantly
Me also
Wow. Very inspiring.
Amazing! One of Friedrich's greatest quote was mimicked by Viktor Frankl, "What is to give light, must endure burning". I talked about it in my latest episode, such a beautiful irony of the flames of the victims of the Holocaust shine a light into history on the terrors of tyranny.
Or the change in Jews from meek to taking their homeland back and settled in a circle of enemies
Thank you
I really like Nietzsche’s philosophy. We don’t have a free will but we can control our attitude and our reactions to things which are out of our control.
@NolanEP This is a really interesting argument. But I’m not sure whether I understood you right. Do you mean that it doesn’t matter whether we think that we have a free will or not because the universe is always the same, no matter how we think about it?
Social Media & its extreme impact on Metal Health. A video i liked. czcams.com/video/d97mTNxfn-k/video.html
I think you mean we do have free will but cannot control where we end up.
@NolanEP there's no control over outside forces that impact us, but we can learn to control the inner forces of our mind to control ourselves and respond in the manner which we want to
We cannot do everything because we are not gods, but we can choose and determine everything, including what we cannot change. A father who has lost his daughter cannot go back in time, but he can choose how to live with that fact.
Our freedom is conditioned, that is, we exercise it within certain conditions, but it is within these conditions that we become free and self-determine.
Many people confuse freedom with omnipotence. our freedom, like our love, is limited, but the fact that there is a limit does not mean that freedom does not exist, on the contrary, if we recognize that we have a limit on our freedom, we are already recognizing that we have freedom. But everything can be expanded. Today I myself have greater freedom than I had ten years ago.
Yes
Yes we listen to the body listening to us no more drinking of wine but truly wisely becoming divine in the Transfiguration⚡
Never disappoints. I will say we wouldn't be praising him for his imsights and concepts had he found love and companionship. In losing his head he would've been just another intellectual sap struggling to improve upon his predecessors. Lucky for us his deprivation is our gain. Newton was very much the same as was Kant and Schopenhauer. A virtual philosophical family tradition. Without their self mastery we would have fallen short on psychology as well as all the social sciences. Cannot have much of a future for mankind without self mastery . Somebody has to make the sacrifices and do the heavy lifting.
Nietzsche was not an aesthetic. He basically disdained aestheticism, describing it as only potentially useful for artists, using the example of Flaubert as the archetypal aesthetic artists. He also wrote in recognition of the powerful and artistic types had an overabundance of energy, some of which could easily be used in pleasurable distraction.
Nietzsche own private life was largely one of failed attempts to pursue the object of his desire. He never ascribed to aestheticism at all himself, indeed pursuing the object of your desires and failing isn't aesthetic, it's just romantic failure. He actually is quite condemnatory of aestheticism as falling in line with Eastern, Buddhist passivity - exactly the contrary attitude to the striving 'Will to Power' which was the centre point of Nietzsche's work.
Kant's aestheticism was largely based on his unique personality type. He was basically an odd individual whose philosophy has no practical implications for anyone in the real world, or even in discussions within legal systems. Outside the branch of philosophy his work is irrelevant.
Newton is probably the purest aesthetic. He is a somewhat mysterious character in that sense. It's worth noting though that Englishmen of that period could not, without quite some charm and time, indulge in extra-marital sex, unless it was with a prostitute. It's very possible that his aestheticism was more about eschewing the responsibilities of marriage which would have interfered with his scholarship. It also wasn't and still isn't uncommon for homosexuals to eschew marriage and join either the priesthood or the academy.
There are just as many intellectual and social giants who have had very colourful and dynamic personal lives, having marriages, children, in some cases affairs, lovers etc. Aestheticism is no measure of the likelihood of genius - Picasso, Shakespeare, Einstein even fatefully Turing, were not aesthetics by any stretch of the imagination. One might even describe all three as having particularly colourful private lives.
@@joblakelisbon I would say they weren't ignorant to why simple pleasures were so admirable and desirable. You don't necessarily need to over indulge in your appetites to get a better perspective of them. I meant anesthetic in the sense that they definitely saw more potential and satisfaction in intellectual pursuits than settling for a conventional lifestyle. Women, good ( submissive) wives, were the rule not the exception in those days . The existential movement was about self discovery and mastery and required a more in depth investigation of societal norms. Basically they we're conducting experiments with themselves as the source of empirical study. Am i better or worse. Am i making progress. Have i contributed to humanity. If i excel in one area and lack in another ,does it make a difference.
Living beyond right and wrong makes you present
INFORMATIVE.
Please continue nietzche philosophy

Self-mastery is das ultimate form of power-
Power itself:
Will Zur Macht
Hi, thanks so much for so much content and insightful information. I am just following your channel recently and feel so impacted by so many philosophical ideas. I am from Vietnam, and would like to use your content, translating to Vietnamese and putting on my channel. It would be fantastic if you could accept that. Thanks again
There is a perfect sinthesys between the path of surrender and self mastery. Taking full responsibility over ones life is not different from surrendering to a higher power.
Depending on the temperament, it is wise to stick to one side thoroughly until this paradox is revealed though. Follow your gut, that is Life itself speaking, then make effort to stick with what you hear inside, until the gut-will becomes one with your own self. Depends how we approach this realignment. If we focus more on the guidance of the gut/higher mind/God, there goes the path of surrender, if more on the effort to resist the opposing force, there's the path of self mastery. In the end we see there are no two of the wills, there's only a Will, which is one with us and at the same time integraly one with life as a whole. That's why Schopenhauer expressed that we have no real choice. It was just an expression of this understanding...
Again, there's no contradiction but it has to be undividedly seen within our own experience.
Thank you for this expression Bep!
"I teach you the overman, man is something that shall be overcome"
Yoooo I went to school with that guy! That's dope he's famous philosopher now.
How old are u? 90?
Lol jk
Nietzsche was a genius
So is Kanye
@@starweir Not sure about that!
Sometimes releasing the negative energy from you by, say breaking things or shouting, helps in the long run. If you keep and don't dissipate the negative energy from you system, it will stay there and slowly make you ill over time, can even call it blowing off steam in a way.
Even as a atheist, neitzshe knew the importance of God.
Please make more videos on Artur Schopenhauer
Thanks, Dad!
I enjoy
Nice 👍👍
Philosophies!
thanks for this wonderful episode there is maybe time for the wisdom of Hegel and Heidegger!
Your body is your temple and base of intelligemce and spiritual life.
I am a simple man. I see a video about Nietzsche and I press like.
To become ubermensh, Master decision making that controls so much, so planning is anti-procrastination, always thinking of your end goals. Caring for and taking into consideration the body, helps succeeding in that
Nice video
Be free... we don't need control... do what you want... 🥳🥳
i think this is why schools never taught us this because it somehow promotes an act of defiance to say no to outrageous demands since teachers dont really give a shit about what their students feel. at least here in Singapore i guess
Statement from this part 13:00 - 13:20 contradicts the statement from this part 15:00 - 15:03 "He doesn't believe in spiritual part but our body is the temple of our spiritual life" just a bit confuse about that.
Well he know now there is another world--not religious but more real than here--energy never dies and all life is energy that moves out of this reality when the illusion of time can end--it is wonderful
11:25 I have said for many years. If a person can't resist temptation in life. You may want to follow a religion.
Gotta read some Nietsche
Will to power over yourself.
A curious title for a video on someone who himself went mad. But many of the prescriptions are sound.
How does one meditate?
That's my homeboy right there
Free-will has never meant the ability to change oneself entirely at the drop-of-a-hat.
It simply means one is free to choose to follow or to ignore one's own instincts and desires.
Self-control (or will-power) is the exercise of control by means of your intelligence(or Reason) over your short-term emotions and desires,
I'm sure this was already understood long before Nietzsche came along -- see Stoicism, for example.
Great
4:30 true dat
Lovely
Quiet interesting
Nietzsche is not just one of the greatest minds of our time - but in all human history! However, I certainly would not seek to emulate his life in any way despite how brightly he burned.
He was absolutely right in emphasizing the importance of finding meaning is a post-theistic World!
he was insane
@@aliciabaldw insanity and genius are often close neighbours!
Your videos are helping me to change my life. My wife and I quit drinking just over 6 weeks ago. Been going to recovery group at the Christian chruch. Your vids/Nietzsche's ideas feel more empowering by taking control of your decisionmaking and self discipline rather than just submitting to the idea that i am a life long f up with no possibility of fixing my self so i have to give up control and do God's will. Can I just attend Christian services participate, absorb the messages and the positivity and still know in my mind that there other answers that seem more empowering?
Congratulations on staying sober for 6 weeks Gerald! That’s an amazing achievement to decide and follow through on. There is one part of your comment that concerned me. “I am a life long f up with no possibility of fixing myself so I have to give up control and follow God’s will.” The first step of change is acknowledging you have a problem. You know you’ve made mistakes and some may not be reversible. That doesn’t mean you decide you can’t make a good decision. You learn from them and grow into the person you want to be. I think you can find solace in religion but it won’t make you whole. This video was all about taking control of your life. You believe in the Christian God which gave man free will to follow as they chose. Yes, the Bible talks of submitting to God but why would you be given free will if God didn’t want you to have it? Gerald, I think you can have control of your life and make the decisions which make you happy. There is nothing wrong with taking the information you feel is “right” from any religion. Many religions have wise proverbs or rules to live by. I’m sorry I’ve written you a whole paragraph. I don’t know why I did but I hope you feel more confident in yourself.
@@Lostinthefrost5 well said
How are they more powerful if they are being dominated (in your own life)by Christian ideas? Christianity is actually providing the framework for your recovery. Judge the fruits. Stay sober good job
Jesus Christ is God . If you believe you are stronger without God that's Satan deceiving. When you are sick or have a tragedy beyond your control you may realize that you need the Lord. Read the King James Bible and develop a personal relationship with Christ if you want to be alive spiritually. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
Salute to u sir ,for imparting this poignant philosophy, wisdom and knowledge to us.This LAMP OF KNOWLEDGE HAS STARTED SHINING IN ALL THE HOUSES WORLDWIDE. Nothing of such PRECIOUS KNOWLEDGE WILL GO IN VAIN.THIS LAMP OF KNOWLEDGE IS SHINING LIKE THE EARLY MORNING SUN IN THE MORNING DISPELLING IGNORANCE AROUND THE WORLD .A WORD TO THE WISE. THKS.
Good
Can someone explain a clear difference between ascetism and the values of slave morality? I know they'll have a big overlap, I just want to clearly understand where Nietzsche draws the line
This video shows how humans are rediscovering evrything that is already discovered, read bhagvadgita eveything mentioned here is written as it is, although in a question and answer form.
The problem lies in the interpretation of Nietz'e word. What he actually meant and what we think he must have meant be mountains apart.
Who was Luz Selumb? I can’t find anything on her. I wish I knew how to spell her name
As someone who's personally made this change: unless you are running a business on social media, abandon it altogether. It is the single biggest waste of time and destructive addition to our lives. Just delete it cold turkey and never look back.
If you were living up to your own words, you could NOT be commenting CZcams - something seriously indicates that you are a hypocrite!
"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who couldn't hear the music."
I'm only 3:35 minutes in and this sounds a lot like western individualism. I guess maybe because that's what Nietzsche wrote about. Thing is, what's wrong with living your life with the goal of making your community happy? Sounds noble to me, so long as you're happy about it. Japanese culture, although not without its faults, focuses more on living as part of a community who works together to lead a fulfilling life of kindness and selflessness. To me, that's quite good.
The ideal thing, I feel, is a balance between individualism and collectivism. I think this western individualism that prevails young minds today is part of what's giving everyone anxiety. The idea that we all must work hard to achieve our dreams and have expensive BMWs, large houses, a beautiful wife and at least 2 kids. We have to realize that's a very persistent myth. That's not what real life is like. Real life is about doing whatever you want with your life. You contribute to your global, national, or local communities by working on something, and in return you do whatever else you want with your spare time and money. If you want to be a freelancer because you prefer that freedom, great. If you want to start a business because you prefer that power and responsibility, awesome. Pick what you want because that's what you enjoy and not because that's what you feel pressured to do. That's all I wanted to say.
Don't rely on other people's opinion of what you want to do, to decide what you want to dedicate your life to. It's your life you're investing.
SALUTE 👍🏾💯
