The Courage to Be Disliked

Book • 2018

This book unfolds as a dialogue between a young man and a philosopher over five nights, exploring the principles of Adlerian psychology.

It emphasizes that true happiness and freedom come from living a life independent of past traumas and societal expectations.

Key themes include the idea that all problems stem from interpersonal relationships, the importance of separating one's tasks from others', and the concept that freedom is found in having the courage to be disliked.

The book provides practical advice on self-forgiveness, self-care, and mind decluttering, encouraging readers to take control of their life's direction and live in the present.
