00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,420
We will talk more about NordVPN at the end
of the video but for now let’s get on with

5
00:00:17,420 --> 00:00:22,619
how to be authentic from the philosophy of
Friedrich Nietzsche.

6
00:00:22,619 --> 00:00:30,400
Nietzsche says “No price is too high to
pay for the privilege of owning yourself.”

7
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:36,800
Friedrich Nietzsche was a German philosopher,
cultural critic, composer, poet, and philologist

8
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,590
and is considered as one of the greatest and
most unusual thinkers of all time.

9
00:00:41,590 --> 00:00:46,780
He was one of the precursors of existentialism.

10
00:00:46,780 --> 00:00:51,140
Existentialism is more a cultural movement
rather than a philosophical one, which considers

11
00:00:51,140 --> 00:00:58,090
that freedom is at the core of human existence,
all human values should be based on it and,

12
00:00:58,090 --> 00:01:05,540
moreover, existentialism affirms “the categorical
moral imperative of authenticity”.

13
00:01:05,540 --> 00:01:09,970
In line with the theory of existentialism,
Nietzsche talked about the importance of having

14
00:01:09,970 --> 00:01:12,200
an authentic life.

15
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:17,810
In existentialism, authenticity is the degree
to which a person's actions are in line with

16
00:01:17,810 --> 00:01:24,479
their beliefs and desires, despite the pressure
from society to behave in one way or another.

17
00:01:24,479 --> 00:01:29,580
Nietzsche emphasized having the courage to
be authentic and to fight against the tyranny

18
00:01:29,580 --> 00:01:31,630
of popular beliefs.

19
00:01:31,630 --> 00:01:36,590
He wrote several books, including “Thus
Spoke Zarathustra”, “Beyond Good and Evil”,

20
00:01:36,590 --> 00:01:40,759
“The Birth of Tragedy”, and “The Twilight
of the Idols”.

21
00:01:40,759 --> 00:01:46,700
His teachings have shaped the lives of many
people; from psychologists to poets, dancers

22
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:48,590
to social revolutionaries.

23
00:01:48,590 --> 00:01:55,200
So to understand how his ideas can help you
in your life, here are 7 ways we can learn

24
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:00,310
to be authentic from the philosophy of Friedrich
Nietzsche.

25
00:02:00,310 --> 00:02:02,310
1.

26
00:02:02,310 --> 00:02:08,239
Accept yourself as a totality
In the words of Nietzsche: “It is a myth

27
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:13,269
to believe that we will find our authentic
self after we have left behind or forgotten

28
00:02:13,269 --> 00:02:20,139
one thing or another . . . To make ourselves,
to shape a form from various elements – that

29
00:02:20,139 --> 00:02:21,739
is the task!

30
00:02:21,739 --> 00:02:23,519
The task of a sculptor!

31
00:02:23,519 --> 00:02:26,829
Of a productive human being!”

32
00:02:26,829 --> 00:02:31,900
One of the recurrent themes in the philosophy
of Nietzsche is the idea of becoming who we

33
00:02:31,900 --> 00:02:32,980
are.

34
00:02:32,980 --> 00:02:38,719
By this process, we do not build our character
by trying to copy role models as per society’s

35
00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:44,319
standards in the attempt to become perfect,
but rather we take everything into account,

36
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:49,650
all the parts of ourselves, the good and the
bad.

37
00:02:49,650 --> 00:02:56,030
We sculpt ourselves into something that we
choose, using all sides of our personality,

38
00:02:56,030 --> 00:02:57,639
ignoring none.

39
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:02,859
This process requires a deep acceptance of
any negative traits of ourselves, we need

40
00:03:02,859 --> 00:03:07,189
to stop judging our characteristics, no matter
how ugly they are.

41
00:03:07,189 --> 00:03:11,739
We have to find strength in weakness, beauty
in the ugly.

42
00:03:11,739 --> 00:03:18,489
There is a saying that the secret of success
is to make strengths out of our weaknesses

43
00:03:18,489 --> 00:03:23,139
and this saying can be considered in line
with Nietzschean philosophy.

44
00:03:23,139 --> 00:03:27,629
For example, consider that you are not good
at confronting others, defending your rights

45
00:03:27,629 --> 00:03:30,750
or verbally expressing your rejection of something.

46
00:03:30,750 --> 00:03:36,019
Let’s say your neighbour has the habit of
parking his car in front of your house, blocking

47
00:03:36,019 --> 00:03:37,579
your entrance.

48
00:03:37,579 --> 00:03:41,229
Instead of feeling sorry for yourself that
you do not have the courage to confront your

49
00:03:41,229 --> 00:03:46,579
neighbour and trying to ignore the subject,
pretending that it does not bother you, or,

50
00:03:46,579 --> 00:03:52,449
worse, forcing yourself to confront the neighbour
and thereby putting yourself in a bigger stress,

51
00:03:52,449 --> 00:03:57,930
you should start accepting this trait of your
personality and make it a strength.

52
00:03:57,930 --> 00:04:05,439
Instead of saying “I am not good at confrontation”,
try saying “I am good at avoiding confrontation”.

53
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:11,040
In this way, you remain authentic to yourself,
you accept the traits of your personality

54
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,609
even when they are not desirable.

55
00:04:13,609 --> 00:04:18,840
You should find ways to solve your problems
and remain authentic to yourself at the same

56
00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:19,840
time.

57
00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:24,340
You can write a very polite letter to your
neighbour, and put it in his mailbox.

58
00:04:24,340 --> 00:04:28,270
In this letter, you can write that you are
sorry for disturbing him with your request,

59
00:04:28,270 --> 00:04:33,509
but you have difficulty entering and exiting
your house because of his car and you can

60
00:04:33,509 --> 00:04:37,639
offer him your help to find a better parking
solution.

61
00:04:37,639 --> 00:04:42,759
This way, you remain authentic to yourself
and you will have created an opportunity to

62
00:04:42,759 --> 00:04:46,789
solve your problem by solving his problem.

63
00:04:46,789 --> 00:04:48,169
2.

64
00:04:48,169 --> 00:04:53,879
Follow your own path
According to Nietzsche: “There is one path

65
00:04:53,879 --> 00:04:56,960
in the world that none can walk but you.

66
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,000
Where does it lead?

67
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,289
Don’t ask, walk!”

68
00:05:02,289 --> 00:05:07,900
Nietzsche believed that embracing difficulties
is essential in having a fulfilling life,

69
00:05:07,900 --> 00:05:12,990
and although the journey to self-discovery
is one of the most difficult ones, it is also

70
00:05:12,990 --> 00:05:15,240
the most rewarding.

71
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:20,259
Although this journey is very difficult, we
need to have the courage to take it and stop

72
00:05:20,259 --> 00:05:22,470
second guessing.

73
00:05:22,470 --> 00:05:27,570
Nietzsche said we have an inner voice that
we should listen to, a voice that guides us

74
00:05:27,570 --> 00:05:31,840
on this journey and that we have a duty to
“become who we are.”

75
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:37,490
There is nobody else who can help us walk
this path, it is only this inner voice we

76
00:05:37,490 --> 00:05:42,300
should follow and we need to stop questioning
it.

77
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:47,790
Most people do not have concrete goals in
life, they imitate what others do like finding

78
00:05:47,790 --> 00:05:54,189
a good job, marrying someone, having children,
buying a house, buying a car and so on.

79
00:05:54,189 --> 00:05:58,659
To live an authentic life, it is important
to make a habit of listening to your inner

80
00:05:58,659 --> 00:06:03,300
voice, no matter how big the contradiction
between the path you are currently following

81
00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:06,689
and the direction the inner voice is pointing.

82
00:06:06,689 --> 00:06:11,879
For example, if you are a construction engineer,
but you know inside yourself that you have

83
00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:16,690
great potential to develop your artistic skills
in painting, you should start listening to

84
00:06:16,690 --> 00:06:18,629
this inner voice more.

85
00:06:18,629 --> 00:06:23,889
You might start by buying the necessary materials
and spending an hour or two every day practicing

86
00:06:23,889 --> 00:06:25,389
every day.

87
00:06:25,389 --> 00:06:31,370
Follow videos or take a class in painting,
try to get them displayed in local exhibitions,

88
00:06:31,370 --> 00:06:33,830
sell prints online and so on.

89
00:06:33,830 --> 00:06:38,110
Do everything possible to follow your inner
voice when it tries to tell you what your

90
00:06:38,110 --> 00:06:41,590
true calling is in life.

91
00:06:41,590 --> 00:06:43,350
3.

92
00:06:43,350 --> 00:06:48,460
Accept that you are different
To quote Nietzsche: “And those who were

93
00:06:48,460 --> 00:06:54,699
seen dancing were thought to be insane by
those who could not hear the music.”

94
00:06:54,699 --> 00:06:59,779
Nietzsche believed that there is no right
way to live your life, that everything which

95
00:06:59,779 --> 00:07:05,590
is authentic is beyond good and evil, that
we do not have an objective right to judge

96
00:07:05,590 --> 00:07:09,190
other people’s actions as good or bad.

97
00:07:09,190 --> 00:07:15,880
Other people can be quite different from ourselves
but, even if we cannot “hear their music”,

98
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,960
we should not judge them.

99
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,599
We do not have any objective right to judge
people for who they are, whether that’s

100
00:07:22,599 --> 00:07:29,029
a different sexual orientation, unusual fashion
sense, annoying habits, or a different political

101
00:07:29,029 --> 00:07:30,389
opinion.

102
00:07:30,389 --> 00:07:35,289
Just because we do not understand these orientations
and behaviors, we do not have the right to

103
00:07:35,289 --> 00:07:38,080
declare them ‘bad’ or ‘wrong'.

104
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:43,439
Equally, if we are the ones who are very different
from others, we should ignore what others

105
00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:44,949
think of us.

106
00:07:44,949 --> 00:07:49,830
They have no right to call us whatever they
like just because they don’t understand

107
00:07:49,830 --> 00:07:51,139
us.

108
00:07:51,139 --> 00:07:56,210
To live an authentic life, we need to live
free from the judgments of others, and in

109
00:07:56,210 --> 00:08:00,789
doing so, let others live freely as well.

110
00:08:00,789 --> 00:08:06,620
Nietzsche didn’t have a glorious life, he
was rarely praised for his philosophical work

111
00:08:06,620 --> 00:08:08,460
during his lifetime.

112
00:08:08,460 --> 00:08:14,500
He never sought money and fame, he chose to
be authentic and write in an honest way, in

113
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:17,229
line with his true philosophy.

114
00:08:17,229 --> 00:08:23,740
While Nietzsche focused on authenticity, he
could see others desperately running for trophies

115
00:08:23,740 --> 00:08:30,430
and plaudits, their main goal in life to shine
in front of others and assert their superiority.

116
00:08:30,430 --> 00:08:36,279
One example Nietzsche experienced during his
life was his good friend and famous composer

117
00:08:36,279 --> 00:08:37,389
Richard Wagner.

118
00:08:37,389 --> 00:08:44,320
They met frequently; Nietzsche admired the
musical geniality of Wagner, and Wagner admired

119
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,680
the intelligence and artistic skills of Nietzsche.

120
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:53,100
However, because of an event in Bayreuth,
Germany, Nietzsche decided to leave Wagner

121
00:08:53,100 --> 00:09:00,470
and his circle, disgusted by the dramatic
style he used in making music to gain popularity.

122
00:09:00,470 --> 00:09:05,110
Nietzsche considered that Wagner started to
compose music for the masses, to make an impression

123
00:09:05,110 --> 00:09:10,430
on them, leading him towards higher peaks
of success because of that inauthentic way

124
00:09:10,430 --> 00:09:12,790
of composing music.

125
00:09:12,790 --> 00:09:18,060
Nietzsche expressed his disgust towards the
kind of people who seek praise at the expense

126
00:09:18,060 --> 00:09:19,959
of authenticity.

127
00:09:19,959 --> 00:09:25,380
Such people, as Richard Wagner, are not following
their own path, they are following somebody

128
00:09:25,380 --> 00:09:31,040
else’s path, in Wagner’s case, “the
masses”.

129
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:36,470
Following what is popular is living against
yourself, especially when there is a big difference

130
00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:39,980
between who you really are and society’s
standards.

131
00:09:39,980 --> 00:09:45,800
If you are homosexual for example and you
are raised in a deeply religious family who

132
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:51,230
rejects this, you need to try to stop caring
about what they think of you.

133
00:09:51,230 --> 00:09:58,230
They simply cannot “hear your music”,
they cannot understand you, and so to be authentic

134
00:09:58,230 --> 00:10:01,660
to yourself you need to choose ‘you’ over
‘them’.

135
00:10:01,660 --> 00:10:06,690
There is no point in trying to fit in with
a group which does not understand you.

136
00:10:06,690 --> 00:10:10,730
You must accept that you are different and
you should not worry what those people say

137
00:10:10,730 --> 00:10:13,110
about you.

138
00:10:13,110 --> 00:10:14,560
4.

139
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:21,920
Obey only yourself
Nietzsche tells us: “He who obeys, does

140
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,820
not listen to himself!”

141
00:10:24,820 --> 00:10:29,949
In Nietzsche’s view, we need to become our
own masters, to have enough willpower to overcome

142
00:10:29,949 --> 00:10:37,220
temptations, urges, obsessions, because otherwise
we will be commanded.

143
00:10:37,220 --> 00:10:44,110
Nietzsche considered that there are two fundamental
types of morality: "master morality" and "slave

144
00:10:44,110 --> 00:10:45,230
morality".

145
00:10:45,230 --> 00:10:52,210
Master morality values pride and power and
slave morality values kindness, empathy, and

146
00:10:52,210 --> 00:10:53,560
sympathy.

147
00:10:53,560 --> 00:10:59,060
Although slave morality seems to be a more
humanistic one and more embraced nowadays,

148
00:10:59,060 --> 00:11:04,589
Nietzsche warned that this kind of morality
can make us obey other people more easily,

149
00:11:04,589 --> 00:11:10,910
will make us forget our own aspirations and
will prevent us from acting in an authentic

150
00:11:10,910 --> 00:11:11,910
way.

151
00:11:11,910 --> 00:11:15,930
If we become too empathetic towards others,
there is the danger that we will meet those

152
00:11:15,930 --> 00:11:18,380
who will take advantage of that empathy.

153
00:11:18,380 --> 00:11:23,779
Therefore, for the sake of our own psychological
health, it is better to balance empathy with

154
00:11:23,779 --> 00:11:27,050
self-confidence and self-respect.

155
00:11:27,050 --> 00:11:32,570
For example, if somebody close to you, a spouse
or a sibling is taking advantage of your good

156
00:11:32,570 --> 00:11:37,980
nature and coercing you to do things you would
not normally do such as giving up some of

157
00:11:37,980 --> 00:11:42,800
your hobbies to help them in some business
venture, or driving them to the airport instead

158
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:47,690
of going to an important meeting for your
career and so on, you need to have the courage

159
00:11:47,690 --> 00:11:50,110
to tell them no.

160
00:11:50,110 --> 00:11:55,670
If you obey others, no matter how close to
you they are, it means you do not nourish

161
00:11:55,670 --> 00:12:01,860
yourself enough, you do not listen to your
needs and desires and you will end up living

162
00:12:01,860 --> 00:12:07,120
a life without authenticity, controlled by
the interests of others.

163
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,710
5.

164
00:12:08,710 --> 00:12:15,259
Do not be ashamed
Nietzsche asks us: “What is the seal of

165
00:12:15,259 --> 00:12:16,259
liberation?

166
00:12:16,259 --> 00:12:18,490
Not to be ashamed in front of oneself.”

167
00:12:18,490 --> 00:12:25,000
For Nietzsche, feeling shame is like saying
no to life.

168
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:30,180
Someone who is ashamed of himself will not
take the risk to do anything bold for fear

169
00:12:30,180 --> 00:12:32,740
of further embarrassment.

170
00:12:32,740 --> 00:12:38,079
People who are prone to shame are easily controlled,
as the shamers will take advantage to keep

171
00:12:38,079 --> 00:12:40,460
the shamed in their place.

172
00:12:40,460 --> 00:12:45,649
Nietzsche considered that religion makes people
feel ashamed of themselves on purpose.

173
00:12:45,649 --> 00:12:51,150
Shame that goes beyond outward actions, down
to one’s very thoughts, using so-called

174
00:12:51,150 --> 00:12:54,860
‘sins’, to control their followers.

175
00:12:54,860 --> 00:12:59,420
Nietzsche considered this way of thinking
to be inhumane, as when you no longer feel

176
00:12:59,420 --> 00:13:05,819
ashamed of yourself, it means you accept your
entire being: You are living authentically

177
00:13:05,819 --> 00:13:07,300
and free.

178
00:13:07,300 --> 00:13:14,009
For example, imagine you are a financial accountant
in a company and you made a huge mistake losing

179
00:13:14,009 --> 00:13:20,670
your company tens of thousands of dollars
and your boss shamed you in front of everybody.

180
00:13:20,670 --> 00:13:25,779
Of course you feel terrible at first, but
you should not give up your struggle to always

181
00:13:25,779 --> 00:13:31,640
improve, day by day, expanding your skillset
and trying to win back the confidence of other

182
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,500
people in you.

183
00:13:33,500 --> 00:13:38,610
To do so, you need first to accept that you
made a bad call and take steps to mitigate

184
00:13:38,610 --> 00:13:41,860
any chance of you repeating the mistake in
future.

185
00:13:41,860 --> 00:13:46,800
But more importantly, do not take the criticism
your boss gave you personally.

186
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:52,540
There is no reason to feel ashamed, all humans
make mistakes.

187
00:13:52,540 --> 00:13:58,120
This mistake does not represent you as long
as you continue improving yourself and learning

188
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,250
from it.

189
00:14:00,250 --> 00:14:01,990
6.

190
00:14:01,990 --> 00:14:07,910
Forgive yourself
Nietzsche teaches us to: “Forgive yourself

191
00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:10,649
your own self.

192
00:14:10,649 --> 00:14:17,779
You have it in your power to merge everything
you have lived through- false starts, errors,

193
00:14:17,779 --> 00:14:25,920
delusions, passions, your loves and your hopes-
into your goal, with nothing left over.”

194
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,940
Although forgiveness seems to be a Christian
concept, for Nietzsche, the self-proclaimed

195
00:14:30,940 --> 00:14:37,480
Antichrist, forgiveness is important too,
especially forgiving oneself.

196
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:42,959
Our life principles and attitudes will change
in time and it is important to be kind to

197
00:14:42,959 --> 00:14:45,560
the younger versions of ourselves.

198
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:50,680
We all make mistakes and even if we made big
mistakes in the past, we need to understand

199
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,870
that we didn’t know at that time what we
know today.

200
00:14:53,870 --> 00:14:59,699
Sometimes, we will need to become harsh with
ideas and systems that we once loved in the

201
00:14:59,699 --> 00:15:03,160
past, like Nietzsche did with Christianity.

202
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:08,019
He was a student of theology before being
a student of philology, but he was able to

203
00:15:08,019 --> 00:15:13,170
forgive his younger self because he didn’t
know what his older-self knew about the roots

204
00:15:13,170 --> 00:15:18,110
of Christianity, he was just fascinated by
its shiny surface.

205
00:15:18,110 --> 00:15:23,069
We should forgive ourselves for the mistakes
we have made in the past and this forgiveness

206
00:15:23,069 --> 00:15:29,199
starts with learning to be honest with ourselves,
to recognize the journey we have followed,

207
00:15:29,199 --> 00:15:33,649
how we have transformed, and what we have
learned along the way.

208
00:15:33,649 --> 00:15:38,449
For example, if you used to cheat on your
partners in previous relationships, but now

209
00:15:38,449 --> 00:15:44,350
know in your heart that you have truly changed,
you have learned to respect people and you

210
00:15:44,350 --> 00:15:49,250
are trying to build a life with someone special
to you, you should forgive yourself for the

211
00:15:49,250 --> 00:15:51,100
past mistakes.

212
00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:55,311
Maybe you were not mature enough that time,
you did what you saw those around you and

213
00:15:55,311 --> 00:16:00,579
in the media were doing, you chose temporary
gratification over honouring the commitment

214
00:16:00,579 --> 00:16:06,300
you made by agreeing to enter into a relationship
in the first place.

215
00:16:06,300 --> 00:16:10,959
Forgive yourself because you didn’t know
better that time and acknowledge the changes

216
00:16:10,959 --> 00:16:13,060
you went through.

217
00:16:13,060 --> 00:16:14,710
7.

218
00:16:14,710 --> 00:16:20,439
Live dangerously
In our final quote for this video, Nietzsche

219
00:16:20,439 --> 00:16:26,960
says: “For believe me! — the secret for
harvesting from existence the greatest fruitfulness

220
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:33,209
and the greatest enjoyment is: to live dangerously!

221
00:16:33,209 --> 00:16:36,089
”
Although Nietzsche’s life was not particularly

222
00:16:36,089 --> 00:16:38,680
dangerous, it involved certain risks.

223
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:44,509
He put his career in jeopardy by leaving the
University of Basel where he had a respectable

224
00:16:44,509 --> 00:16:46,720
position of Professor.

225
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:51,389
He then started to write books, attacking
Christianity, although he came from a very

226
00:16:51,389 --> 00:16:57,370
Christian family - his father was a priest
- and he also distanced himself from past

227
00:16:57,370 --> 00:17:03,310
friends like Richard Wagner when he could
no longer like his ideas and music.

228
00:17:03,310 --> 00:17:08,700
Nietzsche understood very well that in order
to remain authentic he had to follow a dangerous

229
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:13,390
path with an insecure income and few relationships.

230
00:17:13,390 --> 00:17:19,190
He emphasized the importance of not getting
stuck into a pattern, into a job position,

231
00:17:19,190 --> 00:17:25,060
no matter how respectable it is, he understood
it is important to experiment with life in

232
00:17:25,060 --> 00:17:27,910
order to find what works for you.

233
00:17:27,910 --> 00:17:33,340
It does not matter how many people will be
beside you in the end, what matters is to

234
00:17:33,340 --> 00:17:39,530
be yourself, to be authentic and to never
abandon who you are.

235
00:17:39,530 --> 00:17:44,430
To implement this teaching in our life, we
need to stop trying to fit into social groups

236
00:17:44,430 --> 00:17:46,460
to gain advantages.

237
00:17:46,460 --> 00:17:52,040
If we don’t then we won’t live an authentic
life, we will always copy somebody else and

238
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:57,610
adopt ideas and concepts which we might not
even agree with at a deep level.

239
00:17:57,610 --> 00:18:02,780
For example, if you are a part of a political
party and the leader does something you consider

240
00:18:02,780 --> 00:18:08,760
wrong, you should leave said party even if
you lose all the financial and political privileges

241
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,680
associated with it.

242
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:16,550
The principles you value are a part of yourself,
the principles you value are a part of your

243
00:18:16,550 --> 00:18:21,910
true nature, and you should not abandon who
you are just to stay in-line with the people

244
00:18:21,910 --> 00:18:22,910
around you.

245
00:18:22,910 --> 00:18:31,500
It is worthy to risk your income and position
to preserve the authenticity of who you are.

246
00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:35,540
As we said at the beginning, this video is
brought to you by NordVPN.

247
00:18:35,540 --> 00:18:40,690
Each time you access a website, you start
by connecting to your internet service provider,

248
00:18:40,690 --> 00:18:45,640
and they redirect you to any websites that
you wish to visit, which means they can see

249
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,040
and log everything you do online.

250
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:53,460
They may even sell your browsing history to
advertisers, government agencies, and other

251
00:18:53,460 --> 00:18:55,100
third parties.

252
00:18:55,100 --> 00:19:00,770
This risk of your information getting out
only increases once you log on to any public

253
00:19:00,770 --> 00:19:07,380
hotspot, either in hotels, cafes or at airports,
since anyone with basic hacking skills could

254
00:19:07,380 --> 00:19:13,090
access your sensitive information like your
passwords, banking details, credit card numbers,

255
00:19:13,090 --> 00:19:19,100
and any other private details every time you
put them online and here’s where NordVPN

256
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:20,690
comes into play.

257
00:19:20,690 --> 00:19:25,930
NordVPN hides your IP address and encrypts
all the data you send or receive by tunneling

258
00:19:25,930 --> 00:19:29,690
your internet traffic through a specially
configured remote server.

259
00:19:29,690 --> 00:19:33,781
The encrypted data then looks gibberish to
anyone who intercepts it.

260
00:19:33,781 --> 00:19:37,250
It is impossible to read.

261
00:19:37,250 --> 00:19:40,810
All of us here at Philosophies for Life use
NordVpn.
