Pioneers of Human Behaviour: Alfred Adler
A Gateway to His Life, Theories, and Legacy
By Josh Graham

Before Maslow mapped human potential, before Beck named our cognitive distortions, before Skinner studied behavioural reinforcement—there was Alfred Adler.

Often overshadowed by Freud, Adler quietly revolutionised psychology with a radically human idea:

“You are not broken. You are discouraged.”

This concise, powerful volume traces Adler’s journey from a sickly Viennese child to a trailblazing psychologist who championed belonging over dominance, contribution over competition, and purpose over pathology.

In this accessible and emotionally resonant guide, you’ll discover:

• The foundations of Individual Psychology

• Adler’s powerful insights into inferiority, compensation, and the striving for significance

• The role of birth order, lifestyle, and private logic in shaping our lives

• How Adlerian therapy fosters encouragement, not just insight

• The relevance of social interest in a fragmented, digital age

• Case studies, practical applications, and modern critiques

• A curated selection of Adler’s most impactful quotes

Part biography, part psychological roadmap, Pioneers of Human Behaviour: Alfred Adler is designed for students, therapists, educators, and anyone seeking to understand the quiet rebel who placed meaning and community at the heart of mental health.

This is not a textbook.
It’s a gateway.
