Worldview Paper: Frederich Nietzsche’s Workout for the Spirit Wisdom of German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche, is often overlooked due to an unfair reputation that precedes him. Lets explore his thought-provoking concepts that can nourish our soul – the will to power, his conception of Apollonian and Dionysian (explained ahead) and the endless return. It challenges our way of living and invite us to live with bravery, joy and authenticity thus, it can be seen as an advice for strengthening our spirit and to find our inner self. The will to power, Nietzsche says, is what life is; and because we are life, we are also it. We are fundamentally will that wants to overcome its limitations, to rise from the obfuscation to lucidity and to go on with our life in a merry way. Nietzsche writes in his famous book, ‘Thus Spoke Zarathustra’ a powerful metaphor where he describes the three transformations that our spirit undergoes. Nietzsche explains the three transformations that our spirit can undergo Nietzsche says: love your fate that you construct! Photo 2
The Incredible Tentsile Stingray Tent This is quite easily the coolest tent that I’ve ever come across. It’s called the ‘Tentsile Stingray’ and it’s a tent that can be set up on the ground normally, or suspended in the air with the aid of 3 high-capacity tree-straps. The tent comes as standard with a rope ladder and a triangular, in-floor hatch allowing entry from the ground. It also has a semi-circular, above ground hatch for standard entry (which doubles as a window). When the Tentsile Stingray is set up above the ground, the floor doubles as a 3 person hammock which means you don’t need to carry any bedding with you. These tents only became available in March 2013 so this is a good chance to pick one up before anyone else has even seen them.

"Animism: Respecting the Living World" by Graham Harvey Authentic and Eudaimonic 8 Acts Of Authenticity "It's the best way to figure out what it feels like to be in someone else's head—and that's what helps us to distinguish our own identity ." — "Meditative absorption creates moments of happiness not contingent on outcomes or external factors or manipulation of the environment .
