Publisher's summary

In this follow-up to the international phenomenon 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 Japanese best seller, this eye-opening and accessible follow-up to the “compelling” (Marc Andreessen) international 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 enjoyed on its own or as a companion to the best-selling 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, listening to The Courage to Be Happy will light a torch with the power to illuminate your life and brighten the world as we know it. Discover the courage to choose happiness.

a book with true principles

Loved it. Well, now is the time for me to decide whether I am going to take the next step, and then the next step after that, and then the next step after that. I know that not all is finished just by reading this book, but I can spend the rest of my life trying to apply its principles, and I do believe that its principles are good.

A worthy follow-up

I was hungry from more about Addler from the authors and this did not disappoint. Thank you for this contribution.

Magnificent!

Priceless knowledge shared in this book. I read it in 2 days. So interesting! Thanks!

A Must Read Sequal

I feel like I am starting a new direction in life after reading this book.

Life changing💫

A beautiful acknowledgement, that life is truly beautiful. If you’re willing to listen and understand.

Great book, annoying audio

Fantastic dialogue explaining Adlerian psychology but younger student's dialogue is far fetched & frustrating, like he's trying not to understand

What can't be spoken.

There could have been something missing or more said about the question posed, is there actually an 'other?'

Absolutely wonderful

What I like most is the way ideas presented in everyday terms. Very easy to follow, yet the meaning is very deep.

Lo que cada ser humano debería conocer

Me encantó, muy ligero de escuchar, con las palabras adecuadas para poder conocer cada idea. Como padres y educadores me dió mucha claridad que el propósito de la educación es hacer a los niños autosuficientes, así como el mensaje de la felicidad y el amor. Muy recomendable para todos. Espero pronto saquen la versión en español (Que ya está a la venta impreso) para poderlo compartir con toda Latinoamérica.

Almost as good as the first book

The conversation format flowed perfectly. I was thoroughly surprised by this book production. I will be buying all the books on this subject of Adlerian Psychology by these authors.

This book was almost as good as the first one.
