In this bonus episode, I share with you a proven, evidence-based technique for embedding positive behaviours in your life: the establishing of habits.In this bonus mini-episode of Becoming Übermensch, we explore the art of forming positive habits through the lens of Nietzschean self-overcoming and modern behavioural science. Nietzsche wrote that “the body is a great wisdom”—so how do we train it well? You’ll learn a simple but powerful routine to help you hardwire exercise into your daily life, reduce friction, and build momentum towards becoming who you are. The mind loves to wander—but the body loves routine. Train it right, and it’ll take care of business while your mind stays in bed.

Something different this week. Join me as I re-attempt a 100 mile hike along the South Down's Way in Southern England in just three days, wild camping along the way. Naturally, there will be talk of Nietzsche and a little about your devoted host's personal background and the events that brought about this Becoming Übermensch project.

Put on your walking boots and shoulder your pack. As the Romans used to say: "it is solved by walking."

In this episode of Becoming Übermensch, we plunge deeper into Nietzsche’s concept of will to power as the underlying principle of life, reinterpreting Maslow’s hierarchy of needs through this radical lens. We explore how all living organisms—plants, animals, and humans—express a form of power not through conscious intention, but through their very being itself. Human consciousness, Nietzsche argues, is simply the latest elaboration of a deeper, inexorable, evolved, physiological will.

This episode introduces a brand new Nietzschean model of human motivation:

1.Maintain Power – preserve the power you already have.

2.Accumulate Power – expand your capabilities, enhance your status, and amass resources.

3.Express Power – invest your power, revel in it, and discharge excess through creation, confrontation, and transformation.

From animal instincts to the most refined expressions of human culture; from dance, to drugs, to brute dominance, to philosophy itself, this show unpacks will to power as the hidden engine of everything we do. Provocative, and unsparing—we go beyond Maslow to uncover the real fundamental drivers of life.
