What drives us to get out of bed every morning? What motivates us to go on living? What’s behind the human will that is pushing us forward, achieve great things or do stupid things?

The German philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer, argued that we are driven to live because there is a mysterious force inside us, bestowed upon us by the universe itself. A unified force that unites all humans, animals and even objects. We have little or no control over this mysterious force, yet we are all bound by it. So our rational conscious mind is just the tip of the iceberg. While many philosophers ignored Schopenhauer, he had a profound influence on artists, musicians, novelists but most significantly psychoanalysts such as Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung.

In this video, I’ll look at Schopenhauer’s life, summarise his philosophical ideas and tell you why pessimism is good for you in today’s world.
