The Courage to Be Disliked
by Ichiro Kishimi, Fumitake Koga · first published 2013
Told as a dialogue between a young man and a philosopher, this widely read book argues that happiness is a choice we make, not something our past decides for us. Drawing on Adlerian psychology, it challenges the idea that trauma determines your future and offers a liberating way to live free of other people's expectations. A thought-provoking read for anyone feeling stuck or held back by what others think.
