This Season’s Book

The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga introduces readers to the principles of Adlerian psychology, challenging conventional views on happiness, personal growth, and the pursuit of fulfillment. Through a series of dialogues between a philosopher and a young man, the book explores how we can take control of our lives by embracing the freedom to choose our responses and let go of past traumas or societal expectations. The authors argue that true happiness lies in our ability to live authentically, take responsibility for our actions, and cultivate meaningful relationships, encouraging readers to break free from self-imposed limitations and live with courage and purpose. This thought-provoking book is a powerful guide for those seeking deeper self-understanding and personal transformation.
