Great book, a very nice introduction to alderian psychology. Has some great tips on how to manage life and achieve happiness. I agree with most of what it says, however I do now want to read from opposing views and arrive at my own interpretation.
Didn't love the format (a fictional conversation between an unhappy young man and an elderly philosopher), but interesting content. Makes me want to read more about Adlerian psychology. Putting this on my how-to-live shelf.
I really wanted to like this book, and I did enjoy the way it was written, but it didn’t seem like the writers had marginalized people and their material realities in mind when writing this, and I think it’s entirely unrealistic to say that marginalized people choose to be miserable when society fails and harms them.
Great book! It's really a philosophy book in a dialogue format between a philosopher & a young student. The arguments between the two are entertaining & and thought-provoking. Will read again.

A few nuggets of good information but generally the advice was tone deaf and this made me distrust everything else in the book (for example the author says that trauma doesn't exist and it's just an excuse to be lazy).
I like the idea of structuring the book as a conversation to challenge what was being said but this was executed poorly as the youth was portrayed like a petulant child and the philosopher was portrayed as superior to the youth and was constantly saying "you're wrong/your point of view is wrong" so none of the philosophies were properly challenged
Personally, I would not recommend this book.
