The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga is a thought-provoking self-help book that draws on the principles of Adlerian psychology. The book is structured as a dialogue between a philosopher and a young man, exploring deep philosophical and psychological concepts that challenge conventional ways of thinking about happiness, freedom, and relationships.

The core message of the book is the idea that true happiness comes from accepting oneself and having the courage to live authentically, even if it means being disliked or misunderstood by others. It encourages readers to take responsibility for their own lives, rather than blaming circumstances or other people for their unhappiness. The authors discuss the importance of letting go of past traumas, embracing individual freedom, and overcoming the need for approval from others in order to lead a fulfilling life.

Through this dialogue, the book delves into themes such as the role of self-worth, the illusion of competition, the power of choice, and the importance of community and contribution. The Courage to Be Disliked provides readers with practical advice on how to live a more meaningful and self-determined life by breaking free from societal pressures and embracing personal growth.#dhari.pk
