Nietzsche on Composing the Soul - PART 1

In the summer of 2017, Andrzej Jachimczyk, a New York-based scholar of Hegel and Nietzsche, came to Vienna to interview me about my book 'Composing the Soul'. I borrowed the the raw footage and edited it down, conveying the gist of Andrzej's questions and comments by way of written inserts. Many thanks to Bernhard Zorzi for restoring the sound.

Here are the topics of the first eight chapters (see Part 2 for the final six):

00:00 Introduction
00:15 Nietzsche and Emerson on Self-Cultivation
03:16 Body Work in the Context of Nature
07:38 The 'Dead World' and the Power of Stone
10:39 Chinese 'Qi' and Will to Power
13:49 Dionysian Creativity (The Birth of Tragedy)
17:10 'How you become what you are'
20:06 Thinking & Walking — Illness, Diet, Climate, Health
24:48 Opening One-Self out to Multiplicity
