Nietzsche's Deepest Idea Explained

Nietzsche's eternal recurrence (eternal return) is a life-changing idea. It is the idea your whole life – past, present, and future – repeats exactly as it is, forever. On the face of it, this is an abstract notion, totally irrelevant to lived experience. But should you dare to take it seriously, should you dare to assume it could be true, the eternal return reveals its terrifying depth. It reveals, also, its potential to change your life forever.
