The Japanese phenomenon that teaches us the simple yet profound lessons required to liberate our real selves and find lasting happiness.

The Courage to Be Disliked shows you how to unlock the power within yourself to become your best and truest self, change your future and find lasting happiness. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of 19th-century psychology alongside Freud and Jung, the authors explain how we are all free to determine our own future - free of the shackles of past experiences, doubts and the expectations of others.

It's a philosophy that's profoundly liberating, allowing us to develop the courage to change and to ignore the limitations that we and those around us can place on ourselves. The result is an audiobook that is both highly accessible and profound in its importance. Millions have already benefited from its wisdom. Now that The Courage to Be Disliked has been published in English, so can you.

it was so engaging. never felt bored.the teacher student conversation format was the highlight of this book.and definitely it is bold and direct to the point .it challenges a lot of beliefs which we thought were philosophically correct.A relief knowing that real courage is to live life even though being disliked.

I initially found this book heavy going. In particular the format and narration put me off at the beginning. But the ideas presented seemed interesting and kept me going. As I progressed however I was hooked. I also realized that the dialogue format was in fact a perfect way of addressing the doubts and questions that a reader is likely to have as they grapple with the concepts the book presents.

The ideas presented in the book often seem counter to conventional wisdom and yet they make real sense. This is not an easy book to go through. It doesn’t present clichéd self-help tips in an easy to swallow capsule. What it did do for me however was to help me reexamine some of my beliefs and behavior, to see them in a new light, to recognize that what I am and what I do are not deterministic, and to realize that exercising the choice to shed unproductive emotional baggage might eventually lead to a simpler and more fulfilling existence.

Highly recommended

The conversation between the philosopher and the young man as it takes one from divergent points of view towards a point of agreement is quite engaging. Remove any lens you may have about philosophy or psychology or even terms like happiness and courage and listen to it with an open mind and it will reveal upon you the simplicity we need to acknowledge around us.
I hope and pray that the reader will also be able to make more comrades in their lives.

The book itself serves as a good introduction to Adlerian psychology which resonated well with me for multiple reasons. The way in which the nuances of our living and thinking are opened to reveal the simplicity around us makes it worth the while.

I will gladly recommend this to anyone and see myself doing a re-run of the audiobook in the future too.

Excellent conversation to listen into and listen to.

Summation of all your worries. Presented in beautiful dialogue delivery. Monotonous may be. But the questions that arises are those that you might be asking your self during the dialogue. Adlerian psychology may be a century old but still as relevant as it can be. Must for one who always want to find a meaning in their life. Thanks.

One hell of a book.

i am so lucky to have read this. it's a must read for people who are people pleasers. the format of writing is of a dialogue so bit difficult to get used to at first. but you find it ok later on. those people who feel they are valuable only when someone appreciates their efforts, should definitely read this. the are in for a reality check. personally it gave me the power to be who I am and filled me up to make the right choices.

very good but not for everyone
