Get Over Yourself: Nietzsche for Our Times

Many books have sought to introduce the writings of the infamous and influential philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, but Get Over Yourself puts matters the other way round. Rather than simply explaining his thought, it instead asks: what would Nietzsche make of us? What would he think of our 21st-century, digital age?

In a time defined by:

• Identity politics
• Therapy culture
• 'Safe spaces'
• Religious fundamentalism
• Virtue-signalling
• Twitterstorms
• Public emoting
• ‘Dumbing-down’
• Digital addiction
• The politics of envy

Get Over Yourself introduces Nietzsche by putting the man in our shoes.

This book both uses Nietzsche’s philosophy to understand our society and takes our society to explain his philosophy.
