Just not what I was expecting. Maybe it’s the audiobook format for this one in particular that I don’t like. May come back to this later.

I was excited for this book and then suuper disappointed. The title is misleading and the dialogue was annoying (the “youth” made dumb/extreme/emotional arguments for the main guy to easily refute vs address real and valid arguments that could be made). There were a few points I did really like but tbh all those are also talked about in the Four Agreements and I’d reread that over this any day.

2.5. I did not like the format of this book at all. But the information regarding Alfred Adler and his theory of Individual Psychology was very interesting and gave me a different perspective.

Unfortunately, the content and style of this book were not for me.
I should have DNF'ed it a long time ago, but I was listening to the audio book on my walks and didn't think much about it. I'm not super into "self help" type books, but even so the format of the content and the repetitive, slow nature of the cadence made it really hard to enjoy. The conversations between the philosopher and the young student felt super forced, and the student was pretty annoying haha.
Overall, I think the message of this book could have been condensed to about 100 pages at most. Most everything felt like fluff.

Philosophy to me is one of those subject areas where you take what resonates with you and ponder the parts that don’t. I’d never heard of Adlerian philosophy before this but I do enjoy its fundamentals. It is written as a two person dialogue and I found it kind of difficult to focus sometimes though and often had to go back a few pages at a time because philosophy is such a vague, abstraction of living. However, I think it’s still easy enough to finish quickly.
