Publisher Description
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 a book 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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Some “self-help” books peddle obvious truths as earth-shattering discoveries. Narrated in a clear, easy-to-follow manner by Australian actor Adrian Mulraney, The Courage to Be Disliked takes the opposite approach, delivering thoughtful and occasionally revelatory insights in an understated, unapologetically intelligent package. Based on the work of influential Austrian psychologist Alfred Adler, it unfolds as a Socratic dialogue between a wise man and a skeptical young person. The optimistic premise that guides the conversation has universal appeal: Everyone is capable of change, the past does not determine the future and all behaviour is the result of active choices. We’ll return to this eloquent listen again and again.
Customer Reviews
Adler and the Pooh
Relevant, a challenging look at one’s own perspective and being human. But I couldn’t get an imagined conversation between Rabbit and Winnie the Pooh out of my mind.
good not great
a times it's not practical. and the consequences and ways to handle certain situations are not explained.
has not taken intuition or farsight into account.
Boring, slow and poorly voiced
Why would you have 1 person reading the audio book but speak on behalf of two people ie “Youth” and “Philosoher”, it is so confusing (and rushed when dialogue is tic-tac between the two characters) it is also disconcerting when the voiceover doesnt pause correctly. It is all one long british monotone… i drift off and it becomes background noise while driving. Was recommended by family but thumbs down for the content and audio. Latter half gets better but opening two sections horrible!!!
