In terms of content, this book covers a wide range of topics. You can find topics such as midlife crisis, female consciousness, marital problems, manipulation and solicitation, emotional blackmail, self-exploration, and real-life problems, as well as descriptions of symptoms such as hysteria, obsessive thoughts, migraines, and anxiety. However, these topics do not deviate from the main theme: the issue of existence, which can be said to be the exploration of existence by philosophy and psychology. It can also be said to be the existential issue that needs to be faced in flesh and blood life, that is, the four ultimate concerns of life: death, freedom (including the choice of will and the responsibility due to freedom), loneliness, and the meaning (or meaninglessness) of life. These four themes constantly emerge in the book, either appearing behind various physical, psychological, interpersonal, and environmental problems, or hiding in dreams and fantasies, leaving people with no escape between heaven and earth. In the article, the famous doctor Blair, who lives a prosperous life but is afraid of aging and doubts his entire life, how does he get out of his uncontrollable lustful fantasies and marital storm? Nietzsche, the superman with excellent rationality, was trapped in intense emotions and vicious migraines, unable to be free. How could he transcend and continue on the path of a prophet? Instead of seeing every word of dialogue as a statement of truth, readers should see it as a rigorous speculation and exploration of human nature, which can trigger a dialogue between people and themselves, and explore the true and valuable self.
Reader comments
I have been reading it intermittently for more than half a month. This book covers knowledge in philosophy, psychology, physiology, etc. It tells the story of the mutual healing between the philosopher Nietzsche and the physiologist Brel. From the initial mistrust and mutual testing to the later opening up and communication, I saw the wisdom and courage of the two protagonists to open up. I was moved by their exploration of themselves and life. Nietzsche in the article spends most of his time analyzing Brel's heart and helping him understand himself, but often ignores Brel's questions to himself. However, in the process, he changes in an unexpected way. At the end of the article, Nietzsche burst into tears and finally confessed his loneliness and longing for friendship. From then on, the healing of the two was completed. "Become your own existence", I was shocked when I first heard it, and I have been thinking about it since then. I think it means different things to everyone. Reading this book always makes me feel a kind of inner peace and triggers my light thinking. I enjoy this process very much. It makes me feel that this is not only the exploration journey of Brel and Nietzsche, but also mine.
History is fiction that has happened, and fiction is history that may happen. Dr. Yalom becomes Brel and meets Nietzsche, a two-way journey of self-salvation. In a series of carefully designed dialogues, most of the wonderful moments come to life on the page. In the end, they achieved mutual success and each surpassed themselves.
"One must learn to see oneself from a distance." Bret had an epiphany and found existentialism and free will in dreams, thus getting rid of the middle-aged marriage crisis, trust crisis and fear of death.
Brel used various methods to reverse roles, experience empathy, and share candidly, and finally helped Nietzsche get rid of the shadow of Lusalome, find a lonely sense of belonging, and embark on the path of searching for the truth alone. That was the meaning of his life, free will, and his superman!
Yalon has a heroic plot (savior) in his bones, and perfectionism can only be realized in imagination. It reshapes how Nietzsche transcended his own psychological activities at the peak of despair, pain and loneliness, as well as a large number of psychological treatments.
My liking for Nicai stems from appreciating his powerful aphorisms and beautiful poetic novels.
"Some people cannot free themselves from their chains, but they can redeem their friends."
"Desire itself is far higher than the object of desire!"
"A person's mental state must be constructed by his choices.
The rewards of pain – growth, strength, creativity. Who is a carefree person who enjoys ease and eternal happiness? Only those who don't know what's going on, those ordinary people and children! A person must have chaos and madness within himself before a dancing star can be born. "
"Psychological observation is a means by which the burdens of life can be relieved."
"Becoming your own existence means not only making yourself perfect, but also not being harmed by other people's plots."
The mutual healing process between a famous Viennese doctor and the philosopher Nietzsche. In the end, Dr. Breyer found his own existence, and Nietzsche taught him: One must learn to see oneself from a distance; one must find the power to help oneself; one has responsibilities to others, but he has a higher level of responsibility to himself; pursue life while alive. If a person dies after realizing his life, death will lose its horror!
In the end, they participated in each other's self-transcendence and used this friendship to achieve some higher-level ideal!
The inner world has such a great impression on people. In the article, Nietzsche was deeply tortured by loneliness, perhaps to protect himself and allow himself to continue to live and create. Genius is always ahead of the curve and lonely. Dr. Brel's care and sharing of his most private and true inner feelings made Nietzsche open up his heart step by step and share his loneliness, making him understand that the loneliness at the moment was his own choice. Nietzsche's migraine was also cured after telling him about his loneliness.
This book is very interesting. It explores many big questions about life, such as death, freedom, loneliness and the meaning of life. Just like I sometimes think, why should I study? What can I do after reading the book? This book seems to have given me some answers. Moreover, the stories in the book are also very attractive, allowing me to see how different people think and explore these issues. I think this book not only helps me learn some knowledge, but also allows me to understand myself better.
It is full of creativity, and the dialogue is very consistent with the original idea, making people have endless aftertaste after reading it.
A book that is fast-paced, cures despair, and makes people think.
Good hahahahaha
Thank you, very grateful.
Very true and good narrative
Many of the views are very enlightening. I seem to understand Nietzsche.
The content is substantial. The siding between my sister and Nietzsche reminded me of my ex-sister-in-law who asked me to siding with her and made me crazy and lose my mind.
The plot is vivid, the story is strong, and it is a very interesting book.
It's a mind-bending book, every sentence is the essence.
