Introduction

Do you have the courage to break your life-lie?

'The Courage To Be Disliked' by Ichiro Kishimi & Fumitake Koga is a Japanese version of a self-help/psychology book. It showcases Adlerian psychology through means of a Socratic dialogue between a philosopher and youth. It is primarily about how to change mental thought patterns by taking individual responsibility and not playing the victim card.

I summarised the book as follows. "It's ultimately a useful tool for improvement. I believe much of life is tricking your own brain, body and habits into better outcomes. The philosopher did come across as a bit too assured and I would be curious to know the Adlerian view on pragmatism and whether other schools of psychology can work."

I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!
