If you get into reading Nietzsche with the intent of learning how to live better you&amp;#x27;re going to have an impossible time.&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#x27;re interested in reading Nietzsche I&amp;#x27;d recommend first reading more philosophy and history (the things Nietzsche studied) in order to get some context for the things he says. It&amp;#x27;s pretty much impossible to understand what he&amp;#x27;s talking about unless you have that knowledge since his works are (in large part) a critical analysis of the nature and evolution of the modes of human thought and behavior.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>A new book about Nietzsche: tethering philosophy to the mess of daily experience</title><url>https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/10/nietzsches-guide-to-better-living/568375/</url></story>
