Twilight of the Idols by Neitzsche

Every now and then I like get the urge to read classic books. This time, I thought I'd try Twilight of the Idols by Nietzsche.

I don' t think I'm going to make all the way though this book. Nietzsche doesn't really agree with me.

First off. I think he is less philosophy and and more like self-help. He is a lifestyle coach. He wants us to live vibrant, exciting & meaningful lives and has major problems with any system of values that doesn't nurture that.

But, in his thrust for vibrancy, he looses depth. While there is a lot to be said for living like that. Sometimes it's good to slow down. To be more thoughtful.
