The Courage to Be Disliked: How to Free Yourself, Change your Life and Achieve Real Happiness by Fumitake Koga, Ichiro Kishimi
3.0
I was able to connect with this book at several levels. It addressed some of the questions that have been tormenting my trying-to-become-an-adult mind for long - questions that I was not able to frame in proper sentences. They were just lingering around like unspoken thoughts. I am happy to have stumbled upon this book.
Am I a happier person now? Maybe. But, I am better positioned than ever before to make my life better.
From a substance point of view, this is a great book. A good resource for anyone who is in the process of reinventing themselves.
From a writing point of view, this book could have been better. I found some sections, especially the youth losing his temper with the philosopher to be artificial and lacking genuinity. Given the complexity of the topic, the book does fare well otherwise.
There is a second part to this which I'll be reading after a while. For now I want the heaviness of the Adlerian Psychology to sink in slowly and do its charm, like slow medicine.
