Could you explain how? It's helping me too but I'm interested in what kind of radical change occurred.

Nietzsche is not a self-help guru, read Jordan Peterson, The Subtle Art of Not Giving A Fuck or some shit like that
>>16630334
>>16630343
Heraclitus, Plato, Spinoza, Kant, Schopenhauer are the absolute minimum. Not strictly philosophical text to read before would be New Testament. Read at least the Illiad and Oresteia to know anything about presocratic Greece.

I read it and it did nothing to me. It felt like a mess. Zarathustra claiming "I am not like the other prophets" and at the same time saying "these things are bad, these things are good and these are stinky do not touch them". I also have problem with concept of the lesser men because when concept is first described Nietzsche/Zarathustra claims they are necessity and he loves them but in the book he shows nothing but contempt for them. On the one hand he admits lesser men have to exist, on the other - join me, become higher man or perish. It felt very dogmatic, almost like there is only one way to the higher man and all others will lead you astray. Chapter with the Pope rejecting his faith and joining Zarathustra seems like childish power fantasy, like these quips in Paradise Lost where Milton after describing something goes out of his way to add "but these Catholics priests - they are the worst". Why Zarathustra is only correct character in the book? If what he preaches about freedom is true shouldn't he make mistakes and actually learn from talking to people?

I'd just like to jump in and tell any passersby that the frame in OPs picture is from Zerkalo (The Mirror) directed by Tarkovsky. It's got some of the most hauntingly beautiful shots in history and you should watch it. I don't particularly care if you do, but it gratifies my ego to recommend it to you. That's all for my autism, bye.
