The Courage To Be Disliked: How to free yourself, change your life and achieve real happiness | 
bailedBailing—the audiobook narration is not for me.
“So,life in general has no meaning whatsoever.But you can assign meaning to that life.And you are the only one e who can assign meaning to your life”
“…life is a series of moments”
“Freedom is being disliked by other people “
pickThis is my first conscious exposure to Adlerian psychology and I'm glad it was through a fictional presentation of the ideas passed between philosopher and student. While absorbing the points made by the elder, my counter arguments were voiced by the young student. Invariably, I came around the same time as the student. I need to read it again, but I definitely recommend this book as a starting point.
The audiobook was great.
“When you are disliked by someone. It is proof that you are exercising your freedom and living in freedom, and a sign that you are living in accordance with your own principle.”
“Your unhappiness cannot be blamed on your past or your environment. And it isn‘t that you lack competence. You just lack courage. One might say you are lacking in the courage to be happy.”
“Do not live to satisfy the expectations of others.”
pickTo the point. Honest and simple.
It can get irritating how calm and straightforward the teacher is.
pickLife is simple. Live in the current and now with my community. Build inter personal relationship with my comrades. Happiness will come naturally. It sounds easy to preach than to actually practice it. However it‘s a sound advice to be happy 😅 A ⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me as the dialogue did confuse me #bookspin for March completed 💪🏻 #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks
So here‘s my pick for March‘s #bookspin no.14 #bookspinbingo no.9 which translates to alphabets N and I. I contemplated between Nora Roberts, Nicci French and Ichiro Kishimi, in the end The Courage To Be Disliked won! However I have to start on another book first for another challenge, this one will be next @TheAromaofBooks
Answers from others...are of no value.
pickI really enjoyed this dialog between a philosopher and a young man. Go figure, I had never come across Adler‘s teachings; which I find fascinating. I come out of this feeling that the hardest things are sometimes the simplest. Very interesting reframing. The writing of the YM‘s bits bothered me, but it might be a translation issue. Nonetheless, I was able to take away the core of the message.

Getting close to a BINGO 🤗
« On the outskirts of the millennial city lived a philosopher who taught that the world was simple and that happiness was within everyone's reach, immediately. »

pickThe format of this book was unique- a conversation with a wise philosopher of Socratic and Adlerian leanings and a curious young man. This was brilliantly executed and poignant, even life-changing in its approach to meaning, happiness and suffering. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickPresented as a conversation between a philosopher and a youth that explores Adler‘s psychology which to me appeared very common sense and resonated with with my attempts at parenting. For example explaining to children the futility of comparing themselves as they can never be the other person, rather to focus on what they can offer “contribute”. I am going to buy a copy as I believe I could read this each year and learn more. More Adler to read.❤️
pickEmpowering and great book for those who still have some questions 👏🏼💪🏼
pickWonderful book that portrays Alfred Adler's idea's in an extremely interesting way that manages to suck you in and consumes you completely until you have finished it. The format of the book was great and relatable, felt like a breathe of fresh air. If you want an introduction to Alfred Adler's idea's but get bored easily than this is the book for you and if not it is still the book for you lol.
A single book can change your life.
pickIts miraculous that I am finding books that I must read, that starkly validate my beliefs. My sister says that I am receiving “spiritual guidance”. All I can say is that I love, love, love all I learned from this book. As the philosopher says, in it, written as a dialogue between a philosopher and his student: I was led to the well and “drank the water”. “Someone has to start” and that will be me. Read this book to know what I mean. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It's snowing in Oklahoma and the temperatures are supposed to drop as the day goes on. So, it's a perfect day to stay at home, wrapped in a blanket, with tea and chocolate nearby, reading a new book.
So this is definitely the kinda book for me and I don‘t want to stop reading it although I have some paperwork to do. (Sigh)
so-soNot quite finished but it was doing my head in. I might get to finish it but not too sure. Some good ideas and lots to think about. Written as a conversation between a youth and a philosopher. I‘ve read a lot of new age type books and this one seems to be very similar — change your thinking, change your life. I gave up when it was mentioned that you might need ten years! 😊 . @MrsMalaprop
@MrsMalaprop started this morning. Seems it is based on the theories of Adler. Guessing you would know about him. What I‘ve read so far seems very like a lot of the modern self help thinking. Written as a conversation between a youth and a philosopher.
