the courage to be disliked summary : ““If you want the courage to be disliked, you must first accept yourself wholly, thereby blocking any negative external feedback. These are steps to follow to accept yourself:• Embrace the fear of failure.• Know your purpose.• Gain control of your mind.• Remember that you don’t have to be perfect; you need only to be authentic.””
The courage to be happy was my follow up - chefskiss certainly but again strong medicine for ya brain.
The first book is great. The second one is exceptional.
The character constantly yelling at and insulting the older character was difficult to tolerate and did not make sense to me. (Audio version)Best takeaway: Love is self reliance, it's becoming an adult. That's why it's difficult.

The way it was written; The dialogue was poorly written, it was very repetitive and extremely boring to be listened to2. Denying trauma: you cannot tell people that you deny trauma and demand to be listened to. trauma cannot be denied !! a person’s past cannot be changed but what can be changed is to how to deal with such trauma, How about acknowledging what others went through and also demanding them to take resp...
I've always been interested in philosophy and psychology, but often found books on both matters either extremely dry, too other worldly, or too self-helpy. I read both these books after a very busy & intense time, and they both made me slow down, stop, and reflect - for the better. A simple tale of a young boy whose a little lost in the world, seeking help and insight from a wiser, older man. The simple dialogue between the two makes Adler's philosophy really easy to digest and take on board, an...
