very thought-provoking. some things i digested well and others i didn't. the youth was annoying and just kept repeating phrases after the philosopher. I do think half of the book was not related to the title which was why i mainly read it.

I feel like the book doesn't go in-depth on certain important parts of life that I would've liked it to address (eg. workplace dynamics with bosses). It makes me want to find out more about Adlerian psychology.

I think Alderling psychology is probably not the one that i am the most convinced by this.

Don't read if you have ptsd, cptsd, an anxiety disorder, etc. At least not unless you want to be explicitly told that you create your systems to justify the way you want to behave and in order to get attention. 

Bad psychobabble science and doesn't accurately implement Adler's philosophies. It's like someone badly misunderstood his point and also thinks mental health is made up. 

Ugh. Just ugh.

I just don't really enjoy the style of this book... And I've now read a couple of these philosophical books that presents/teaches the concepts thru a conversation between a student and teacher. It feels forced, while I think it attempts to be more approachable.

This book is written as a dialogue between a philosopher and a student. It was a really interesting and different kind of read.

There were a lot of good insights, especially for anyone who tends to overfunction for other people or are people pleasers.

This book is all about how to be differentiated.
