Synopsis

In this follow-up to the international bestseller and TikTok sensation The Courage to Be Disliked, discover how to reconnect with your true self, experience true happiness, and live the life you want.

What if one simple choice could unlock your destiny?

Already a major international bestseller, this eye-opening and accessible follow-up to the “compelling” (Marc Andreessen) worldwide phenomenon The Courage to be Disliked shares the powerful teachings of Alfred Adler, one of the giants of 19th-century psychology, through another illuminating dialogue between the philosopher and the young man.

Three years after their first conversation, the young man finds himself disillusioned and disappointed, convinced Adler’s teachings only work in theory, not in practice. But through further discussions between the philosopher and the young man, they deepen their own understandings of Adler’s powerful teachings, and learn the tools needed to apply Adler’s teachings to the chaos of everyday life.

To be read on its own or as a companion to the bestselling first book, The Courage to Be Happy reveals a bold new way of thinking and living, empowering you to let go of the shackles of past trauma and the expectations of others, and to use this freedom to create the life you truly desire.

Plainspoken yet profoundly moving, reading The Courage to Be Happy will light a torch with the power to illuminate your life and brighten the world as we know it. Now you can discover the courage to choose happiness.

"No matter how powerful you are, there are two things that cannot be forced... Respect and love." The Courage To Be Happy was exactly what I expected as a sister book to The Courage To Be Disliked.

This is the sequel to the author's previous book on Adler, "The Courage to Be Disliked."

This time, t......more

Là phần tiếp theo và phát triển lên từ cuốn “Dám bị ghét”, nửa đầu cuốn sách nêu những luận điểm về giáo dục, từ đó bàn rộng hơn tới sự kết nối giữa người với người ở nửa sau. Theo tác giả, tư tưởng Adler cho rằng con người chỉ thực sự trưởng thành khi dám chủ động yêu thương một ai đó. Mình thích cu......more

Goodreads review by Judy on January 19, 2020

As a sequel to 'The Courage to be Disliked', which I had also highly rated, I would recommend that one not be read without the other. This book reiterates the ideas discussed in the first book, but extends on a more practical approach, giving examples using every day situations in a way that is more......more
