“The Courage to Be Disliked” by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga offers a compelling blend of Adlerian psychology and narrative storytelling. Through a Socratic dialogue between a philosopher and a young man, the book explores themes of self-acceptance, interpersonal relationships, and the pursuit of happiness. Its central tenet—that we can all choose to change our lives by rejecting the need for approval from others—is both liberating and thought-provoking. While some may find the conversational style a bit didactic, the practical wisdom and actionable advice make it a worthwhile read for anyone seeking personal growth and a more fulfilling life.

Com didática simples e intuitiva, este livro traz conceitos práticos e radicais para mudar a forma como vemos a vida. Recomendo muito para pessoas entre 25 e 35 anos, que provavelmente estarão vivendo o primeiro momento de realmente se firmarem perante o mundo como donos de si mesmos.

This book has honestly been such a life saver for me. It has answered a lot of the problems I’ve had in life and there are so many lightbulb moments and times where I could relate when I was reading this book. I feel I’m so much happier from reading this and I’d recommend for anyone to read it. Thank you to the author.

Wow. How is Sigmund Freud a household name but Alfred Adler a mere afterthought, a footnote? Even as a pretty serious psychology autodidact and after taking numerous college classes (intro, child, adolescent, personality psychology) I must admit I didn’t even recognize his name let alone his research or theories. But the Japanese are onto something, ahead of the rest of the world as it seems they tend to be (I just recently read about topics such as shinrin-yoku and nano-hydroxyapatite), ahead of the rest of the world.
Adlerian psychology AKA individual psychology is hopefully here to stay. You can see evidence of the culture shifting to corroborate its views—evidence of the coming to fruition of Alder’s own prophecy on why he’d be forgotten: “The implication being that if his [ideas] were forgotten, it would be because [they] had outgrown the bounds of a single area of [philosophy], and become commonplace, and a feeling shared by everyone.” Take for example the recent publication by bestselling author David Brooks; if you’ve read The Courage to Be Disliked, you’ll immediately recognize the parallels to Adlerian psychology in the cover flap summary of The Second Mountain.
Really this isn’t a self-help or personal growth book as much as it is an introductory philosophy book with the power to direct and transform your life. And it sets a new bar for me on which self help books are worth reading (some, not many) and which are garbage (most of them). Not to mention that using the format of Socratic dialogue in and of itself is just a brilliant choice by the authors. How this book can be rated anything below 5 stars is unfathomable by me, and makes me question my faith in humanity, the good judgment of the common person.
I hope the tides of history turn, that in 50 years it’s not Fraud (oops I mean Freud) who will be revered as the father of modern psychology but that Alfred Adler will rightly take his place with that title. I think it’s high time we start to reject the pitifully ineffective disease/disorder paradigm of mental health which has been corrupted by the vices of allopathic medicine (which does have its virtues in other contexts) and start to embrace the more humanistic, holistic, positive growth, teleological (wink wink) approaches to psychology and mental health. Look at the world: current events, mental health statistics, etc. Our current way of doing things (especially in America) is not working. Adlerian psychology is right here under our noses, a beacon of hope waiting to be shone and shown to others. Which is what I implore you to do once you’ve finished reading this book: show it to others! Buy it for them if you have to! I have already bought 3 other copies as gifts to people in my life….you can trust my review because I’m already putting my money where my mouth is. READ THIS BOOK especially if you have not already scaled your “second mountain”

Great Book on Adler Philosophy. Very deep and insightful. Book goes into depth on a philosophy that counters Freud. Highly recommend!

I’ve read many spiritual, philosophical, self-help books, and for me, this is one of the best. When I first started reading it, I was very disappointed at the format – purely conversational style. After advancing a bit, I found that the ideas shared were so thought-provoking that they completely compensated for the format. The book revolves around Adlerian psychology, which I hadn’t heard before. I found it extremely surprising how a theory that is close to 100 years old can offer so many ideas that feel so fresh, reasonable, and yet, so vastly counterintuitive from today’s beliefs regarding human behaviour.
I would not recommend to people who dislike challenging traditional beliefs of human behaviour (their own included)

Since it’s a completely new way of living, it may be very hard to understand the philosophy and may require to read it more than once. I will recommend everyone to read this book without fail.

Quite interesting and useful. It’s not a self-help book, nor is it a Japanese phenomenon as the publisher touts, it is a book based on the philosophies of Alfred Adler, who was a contemporary of Freud and Jung but departed from their heavy reliance on trauma and cause and effect rationality. It was through Ichiro Kishimi’s books on Adler that excited Fumitake Koga and together their desire to share the Adler philosophy with the world is how this book was born.
The title is what drew me to this book. The courage to be disliked? That is indeed freeing in some aspects. In Adlerian psychology that is the key to freedom, but how you get there, is what keeps the reader staying the course. The book is written in a dialogue manner between a youth and a philosopher. So it’s not in that preachy or bullet point genre, just two people exchanging ideas about life. And the dialogue is not setup in a vertical manner but the youth and the Philosopher are communicating on a horizontal plane, which by the way is a key in the journey to freedom. Seek to build horizontal relationships and refrain from vertical ones.
I’m sure that thought, like dozens of others in this book have not been contemplated by most, so in many instances I found myself asking in my head the same questions that the youth was asking. Because I’ve done some reading in African philosophy and thought, I found some ideas here that clearly came/come from the wisdom of African thought, to which Greek philosophy owes its glory. This fact is not acknowledged by the authors and perhaps they are unaware.
I still am giving five stars because I think the dialogue is enlightening and useful, especially so for parents of young children who are trying to steer the lives of their children, Adlerian philosophy warns against intervening in the tasks that belong to the children. It is one thing to read bout varios theories and quite another to try and implement these these theories in one’s life to attempt to make positive changes. This book could serve as an arresting beginning.
