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

3.0

I wasn't sure what to expect as the reviews were mixed, so I decided to give it a shot. It was an interest approach as the entire book unfolds as a conversation between a young person and an older philosopher. It mainly positions Alderian psychology through many different examples. Some translated well and others were a bit lost on me. I think it was a great read, but I honestly did not get the end result of finding courage in being disliked, I think that was more a catchphrase title. I will probably read it again just to see it through a different lens 6 months to a year from now.
