About this listen

The Japanese phenomenon that teaches us the simple yet profound lessons required to liberate our real selves and find lasting happiness.

The Courage to Be Disliked shows you how to unlock the power within yourself to become your best and truest self, change your future and find lasting happiness. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of 19th-century psychology alongside Freud and Jung, the authors explain how we are all free to determine our own future - free of the shackles of past experiences, doubts and the expectations of others.

It's a philosophy that's profoundly liberating, allowing us to develop the courage to change and to ignore the limitations that we and those around us can place on ourselves. The result is an audiobook that is both highly accessible and profound in its importance. Millions have already benefited from its wisdom. Now that The Courage to Be Disliked has been published in English, so can you.

Please note: This is a recording of the 2018 print edition.

Highly recommended

I initially found this book heavy going. In particular the format and narration put me off at the beginning. But the ideas presented seemed interesting and kept me going. As I progressed however I was hooked. I also realized that the dialogue format was in fact a perfect way of addressing the doubts and questions that a reader is likely to have as they grapple with the concepts the book presents.

The ideas presented in the book often seem counter to conventional wisdom and yet they make real sense. This is not an easy book to go through. It doesn’t present clichéd self-help tips in an easy to swallow capsule. What it did do for me however was to help me reexamine some of my beliefs and behavior, to see them in a new light, to recognize that what I am and what I do are not deterministic, and to realize that exercising the choice to shed unproductive emotional baggage might eventually lead to a simpler and more fulfilling existence.

Beautiful bridge between psychology and philosophy

Absolutely a worthy read! The title pretty much maps it out, yet it's a lot more than that. It's THE guide for mustering the courage to be free of the strings that we unconsciously attach ourselves to! Great ideas and insights..

Need of the hour

Content is much needed for the current generation. Story telling can be improved by having 2 different voices
