Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche has been the most influential single text I’ve read in my life. Over the years, with each reread, it’s changed the way I look at the world. Before I read this book, I took the definitions for the words good and evil as givens and for granted. It’s a book that I read, or read about, every time that I’m not convinced with my current beliefs. Out of every book Nietzsche wrote, this is the text that best sums up what I think he thought about in his spare time throughout his entire life in a physically detached but still coherent manner.
