The Courage to Be Disliked: How to Free Yourself, Change your Life and Achieve Real Happiness by Fumitake Koga, Ichiro Kishimi
3.0
I really liked the somewhat radical ideas in this book. These include having the courage of being disliked, living life as a dance rather than a means to an end, separating your opinions and wills from everyone else, etc.
This is a series of dialogues between a philosopher and a student. I listened to the audiobook version and the tonality of the philosopher is condescending and pretentious. The tone of the students voice is arrogant and obnoxious. This detracted from my listening experience and invoked annoyance in me.
I also think that explaining these ideas through dialogue was unnecessary. This book could’ve been a lot shorter.
Also these ideas are presented as a comprehensive life philosophy. These ideas are all based from Adlerian psychology. Don’t get seduced by one school of thought. This isn’t the one true philosophy. It just has some ideas that are pretty badass.
