Carpe diem, a timeless piece of life advice, holds immense significance in Western history. However, its true essence has been diluted and misconstrued by the influence of advertising and self-help gurus, reduced to mere slogans or quick online shopping experiences. It is time to reclaim this powerful concept and find meaning in our complex and perplexing times.

The last great manifestation of carpe diem was during the vibrant era of existential philosophy in the 1940s. Today, it beckons us to face our mortality head-on and embrace a life filled with greater passion and purpose, rather than mindlessly scrolling through our phones or treating freedom as a mere choice between brands.

In Carpe Diem Regained, Roman Krznaric revitalizes existentialism for our modern age of information and endless choices. This essential and empowering work of contemporary philosophy unveils the remarkable ways in which humankind has discovered the art of seizing the day throughout history, which are desperately needed to be revived.

Carpe diem becomes the Nexistentialism of our times, offering us a fresh perspective on life and urging us to make the most of every moment.
