The Will to Power

The Will to Power is a concept by philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche that suggests humans are driven by a fundamental desire to assert and expand their influence, strength, and potential. It goes beyond basic survival, reflecting a deep motivation to grow, overcome challenges, and achieve personal excellence. This drive shapes our ambitions, creativity, and actions, influencing how we interpret success and meaning in life. Rather than being purely about dominance over others, it emphasizes the growth of one’s own capabilities and the cultivation of inner strength.
