The Courage to be Disliked

A friend suggested this. I am a person who could probably stand to be more disliked (I am a pleaser, it’s not always in my best interests). This book is about Adlerian psychology seen through the eyes of Ichiro Kishimi, a noted Adlerian in Japan. It’s set up as a series of Socratic interactions between a young librarian (I know!) and an experienced psychologist. Parts of it are tedious but it does manage to get its major points across. I learned some things, had some critiques, not sure if it helped, but it was a fresh perspective.
