Many people believe that happiness is a goal you can achieve permanently. However, according to Friedrich Nietzsche, happiness isn't something you find by chasing it. Instead, it’s the feeling that comes when you overcome resistance, whether in life, work, or personal challenges. In The Antichrist, Nietzsche writes that happiness is about power and overcoming obstacles, not in seeking it directly. This idea changes the conventional approach to happiness, suggesting that the key lies in building personal power—physically, mentally, and emotionally—to face challenges head-on.
