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.

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

A Must Read Sequal

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

What can't be spoken.

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

How a new mindset and way of thinking was open to me. I don’t know how it going to go but I’m willing to try.

I like the way it was told the dynamic between the young man and the philosopher. Really interesting and I was listening to every word.

Easy to listen to and understand. A primer to want to learn more

I am 64 years old and a reader for decades on Philosophy and Psychology. I have not been unhappy in my life . Most people including me when say I have led a very successful life. But it is my belief that if I had been exposed to Adler in my younger days, the difference in my life, my family and friends, would have been profound. I am recommending these books, and Adler to my adult children and my friends as a must read and understanding to be more than successful, but also happier. And be Emotionally more resilient and greater contentment in life.

The importance of community for our happiness

Not as groundbreaking as the first one, but a great book nonetheless. I recommend this read.

Life changing. A manual for life 🦋

I’ve read many books that inspired and helped me in my growth and development, but nothing has done it in the way this book has and the previous one. I found the dialogue setting refreshing and engaging. It kept holding my attention as well as answering similar burning questions I had. Great voices as well. It’s definitely been confronting and challenging to work with certain concepts, but certainly rewarding. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am grateful for this beautiful work. Thank you 🙏🏼

Excellent content If you can handle the narrator.

Literally everything one of the narrators says is in a childish, adversarial and whiny tone. Holy hell. The whole book could have done without his commentary entirely.

Everyone should read this

This is the go to book for me now whenever I am in emotional stress. It has changed me immensely in a beautiful way. Thanks a million to the authors. The read out was awesome as well!
