Courage to be disliked was better. It’s not enough to simply say you’re not a nihilist. If your thought is nihilistic, you’re a nihilist. It’s like if I claimed to not be a Holocaust denier, but then at every point that mattered, denied the holocaust. Some good stuff in this one but felt like wading through nonsense.

This was insightful it certainly made me stop and think. It gave me a different perspective on things. This is the follow-up to the courage to be disliked.

I liked this better than [b:The Courage to Be Disliked: The Japanese Phenomenon That Shows You How to Change Your Life and Achieve Real Happiness|36622739|The Courage to Be Disliked The Japanese Phenomenon That Shows You How to Change Your Life and Achieve Real Happiness|Ichiro Kishimi|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1529404627l/36622739._SY75_.jpg|27565183], although truth be told, I don't love the format in either case, and they really needed a better translator. The dialogue feels stilted in places.

What I liked better about this one was the focus on practical, real-life application (as opposed to theory, which the first book was much heavier in), although they could have gone even further in that direction.

Overall, I'm not upset that I read these, but I don't think I will be coming back to them, and I think there are almost certainly better resources on the topics.

Me parece una buena continuación al primer libro y una profundización aún mayor en la filosofía de Alfred Adler.
Creo que el formato conversación beneficia mucho al libro y lo hace mucho más fluido.
Es cierto que si me tengo que quedar con uno, me quedo con el primero, pero este me parece también muy interesante.
