The Courage to Be Disliked The Japanese Phenomenon That Shows You How to Change Your Life and Achieve Real Happiness

A different style of guidebook, this little gem is framed as a conversation between an older philosopher and a younger man who comes to him for advice. Based on the pyschology of Alfred Adler, it presents a new way of approaching the relationships we have with other people. A somewhat dense book, I would recommend reading it over multiple sessions, ideally one for each of the chapters, to give the content time to sink in. While not every single aspect of the book and philosophy within will resonate with every person, I found it a very worthwhile read.

Das Buch an sich ist sehr gut, aber es ist nichts, was man einfach so zwischendurch mal schnell liest. Dazu kommt noch, dass es an vielen Stellen einfach etwas zu sehr ausschweift. Trotzdem war ich am Ende des Buches sehr zufrieden mit dem, was ich lernen konnte.
