This is a great book to learn about Alfred Adler’s psychology. I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in his psychology, especially interpersonal relationships. Adler’s concepts are both funny and simply complicated—funny in the sense that he makes everything seem so simple and positive. But complicated in a way that It doesn’t make sense.

 

If you’re someone who enjoys opening up to new perspectives on life, this is a great book to read. However, if you’re looking for straightforward answers, this might not be the book for you—you’ll need to find something more structured and formal. 

 

I personally loved reading this one, even though it was somewhat hard to finish because I kept questioning certain ideas, like ‘What makes him think it’s okay when it’s not?’ Still, I came away with many questions about his psychology (which I’ll need to explore further). But at the end of the day, I found it really interesting to read and managed absorb the book’s main concept.
