Summary
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.

challenging in concept but deeply true
The concepts put forward based on understanding how you respond to events is a choice and not simply predictive cause and effect will challenge many. I makes you take responsibility for your own life and expect others to do the same. The format, being a conversation was somewhat simplistic and at times annoying but ultimately successful.

Took a while to grab my attention
I really wasn't enjoying this book at the start, and stopped listening after 2 and a half hours or so. Hated the format. Gave it a 2nd chance and after the 3rd hour I really started to enjoy the format and psychology being discussed.
Still a slow started, and wasn't my favourite book, but still has some nuggets of knowledge and is well worth the read. Had to be read on 1.35 speed to achieve normal speaking speed though!

The wisdom in dialogue.
This book is fantastic using a Socratic dialogical technique in order to enlighten and educate. Understanding how a teleological approach in many ways helps us to understand ourselvesand others better than an aetiological approach. If nothing else it gives us a new way to engage with our actions, thoughts and feelings as they appear. There are in my opinion many similarities here to religious doctrines like The Tao and Zen and strong links between those Eastern philosophies and the Western 'homegrown' western philosophies of Byron Katie. An absolute pleasure to listen to and read. *Unfortunately on reaching the physical book I've discovered that the introductory chapter is missing from this audiobook. * But, don't let that put you off.

Worth a listen but I felt quite flawed
I enjoyed the listen as I have no previous background in psychology or philosophy but I found alot of the content very generalised, sterotypical and to my mind wildly idealistic. I kept hearing sweeping categorical statements to which I found myslef in strong disagreement.
I have no doubt the ideas of "contribution to society" and the courage to "deal with ones own tasks" could work if we all applied these principles but from human nature it seems, very few will. How does the concept of "consideration for others" sit with the principle of basically; please youself and if others don't like it then it's up to them as it's their task not yours.
I did take a few small things from this and found it interesting, but if you "nice person" looking for the "silver bullet" to avoid getting frustrated and taken advantage of then I don't think you'll find it here.
It seems to me to be a highly unrealistic and unachievable a way of living in the world I see everyday.

Absolutely Fascinating
There is only tiny observation and that is that the translation is a little clunky. But the ideas are to important to let that get in the way. I apply some of the ideas quite often and find them very freeing. And I think they will be more so as I practice them and understand them more. My sincere thanks to the Authors.

transformational content
Great content. would have given it 5* but found it different to follow due to it being read by the same narrator.

Accessible and intriguing
At first I worried I had stumbled upon another Sophie’s World, and perhaps in written form it would have been, but the audio format really worked for me. I’ve been able to follow the arguments and apply them to my own space without it intruding. I will probably re-listen to this in future too.
