Hiking with Nietzsche : on becoming who you are
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

What does it mean to search for ourselves? Hiking with Nietzsche: On Becoming Who You Are is a tale of two real and philosophical journeys--the first made by John Kaag when he is an introspective young man of nineteen, the other eighteen years later, in radially different circumstances, when Kaag is now a husband and father, his wife and small child in tow. Both times, Kaag sets off for the Swiss peaks above Sils-Maria, where Nietzsche wrote his landmark work Thus Spoke Zarathustra. The two journeys are made in search of the wisdom at the core of Nietzsche's philosophy, yet they deliver Kaag to radially different interpretations and, more crucially, revelations about the human condition. --,Provided by publisher.
