The Courage to Be Disliked: How to Free Yourself, Change your Life and Achieve Real Happiness by Fumitake Koga, Ichiro Kishimi

1.0

me: Oh, a Goodreads recommendation - maybe this book will help me be more comfortable with disappointing others and reduce my tendency to people-please

book: Trauma does not exist, people choose to be unhappy, be useful to others and expect nothing from them in return

me: ...

(the format also made it super annoying to read; the whole book's wisdom isn't terrible but the bad parts were *really* bad and soured my experience)
