Absolutely amazing book and a discovery for me about Adler’s psychology and theories

Me gustó mucho la lectura, se lee rápido pero vale la pena volverlo a leer. Ofrece una visión interesante de cómo podemos cambiar nuestra vida hoy.

Pedí este libro en su versión de pasta dura, en general el material del libro deja mucho que desear, además de que venía con manchas de huellas, como si lo hubiesen tomado con las manos manchadas de carbón de calca .Estoy en proceso de devolución. Pedí dos ejemplares para regalo y ambos vienen igual.

"The Courage to Be Disliked" by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga is a thought-provoking and transformative book that challenges conventional wisdom about happiness, interpersonal relationships, and personal growth. Drawing on the principles of Alfred Adler, a renowned psychologist, this book presents a refreshing and liberating perspective on life.The authors introduce the Socratic dialogue format, where a young man engages in conversations with a philosopher, challenging his beliefs and assumptions. Through this dialogue, readers are invited to explore their own deeply ingrained beliefs and societal expectations that hinder personal growth and hinder their ability to live a fulfilling life.One of the most significant takeaways from this book is the concept of "separation of tasks." It teaches that individuals have the power to choose their own thoughts, attitudes, and actions independently of the past or the expectations of others. This notion empowers readers to take responsibility for their own happiness and break free from the victim mentality. It encourages personal agency and self-acceptance, emphasizing that it is possible to live authentically, regardless of external circumstances.Another valuable aspect of "The Courage to Be Disliked" is its exploration of interpersonal relationships. The book challenges the common belief that our past experiences and the behavior of others determine our present relationships. Instead, it argues that we have the ability to form new connections and choose how we interact with others, enabling us to foster healthier and more fulfilling relationships. This emphasis on individual responsibility and mutual respect provides a fresh perspective on the dynamics of human interaction.Furthermore, the book delves into the nature of happiness. It suggests that happiness is not dependent on external achievements or validation from others but stems from an internal sense of purpose and contentment. By embracing one's true self and pursuing one's own goals and desires, readers are encouraged to find a profound sense of fulfillment and joy.One of the strengths of this book is its accessibility. The Socratic dialogue format makes complex psychological concepts easily understandable and relatable. The conversations between the young man and the philosopher are engaging, thought-provoking, and provide practical examples that readers can apply to their own lives.However, it is important to note that "The Courage to Be Disliked" is not a quick fix or a step-by-step guide to happiness. It challenges deeply ingrained beliefs and requires introspection and personal reflection. Readers may need to revisit certain passages or concepts to fully grasp their meaning and integrate them into their lives.In comparison to other self-help and personal development books, "The Courage to Be Disliked" stands out due to its unique approach and philosophical foundation. It encourages readers to question societal norms, overcome their fears of social disapproval, and embrace their own uniqueness. While the book may not resonate with everyone, those willing to explore unconventional ideas will find it a transformative and empowering read.In conclusion, "The Courage to Be Disliked" is a remarkable book that challenges readers to rethink their beliefs about happiness, relationships, and personal growth. Its profound insights, presented through engaging dialogues, offer a liberating perspective on life. If you are open to exploring new ideas and are ready to take responsibility for your own happiness, this book can be a catalyst for personal transformation.

I've read many spiritual, philosophical, self-help books, and for me, this is one of the best. When I first started reading it, I was very disappointed at the format - purely conversational style. After advancing a bit, I found that the ideas shared were so thought-provoking that they completely compensated for the format. The book revolves around Adlerian psychology, which I hadn't heard before. I found it extremely surprising how a theory that is close to 100 years old can offer so many ideas that feel so fresh, reasonable, and yet, so vastly counterintuitive from today’s beliefs regarding human behaviour.I would not recommend to people who dislike challenging traditional beliefs of human behaviour (their own included)

El estilo en qué se presentan las ideas del libro es tedioso y poco estético, es un diálogo muy artificial y acartonado.La idea que se presenta puede ser útil aunque es algo limitada y ya muy gastada: Que todo es responsabilidad propia de la persona, permitir que el pasado y los traumas nos limiten es el problema real.Puede ser útil para alguien joven y con poca experiencia de vida, o para alguien que no haya tenido que superar situaciones muy difíciles.

Amazing BOOk, I fell in love with the Adlerian psychology. Dancing in the here and now, enjoying the moments of life are just our way to empowering ourselves contributing to others.

Hard to apply in life but why not , interesting facts , love it 😍
