- 1. The Courage To Be Disliked by Ichirō Kishimi and Fumitake Koga is a thought-provoking exploration of Adlerian psychology, which challenges conventional notions about happiness and self-acceptance. The book is structured as a dialogue between a philosopher and a young man, capturing their dynamic exchange as they delve into the intricacies of human relationships, the importance of personal freedom, and the concept of life being a series of choices rather than mere circumstances dictated by past experiences. Through this engaging narrative, the authors illustrate the idea that disliking is a natural part of life and emphasize the importance of embracing one's true self rather than conforming to societal expectations. They advocate for the power of courage – the courage to confront one’s fears, to take responsibility for one's life, and ultimately, to embrace the possibility of being disliked by others in the pursuit of true happiness. By challenging readers to reconsider their perspectives on interpersonal dynamics and the pursuit of personal fulfillment, Kishimi and Koga provide a roadmap for living authentically and with greater emotional resilience while prioritizing personal growth and self-acceptance.
