The courage to be unpopular

Author's Name: Ichiro Kishimi - Fumitake Koga

"It is not what we are given at birth that matters, but how we use that provision." "Your suffering in life cannot be attributed to your past or your environment. Nor is it because you lack the ability, but because you lack the courage. I would say that you lack the courage to be happy. You do not have the courage to change your lifestyle. It is easier to keep things as they are now, even though this is not without complaint and restrictions under a provocative title that goes in the opposite direction of everything we have been taught since childhood. This valuable book, easy to understand and profound in content, explains to us how to liberate the power within us to become the person we wish to be, without paying attention to the view of others or being preoccupied with their approval. Drawing on Alfred Adler's theories and philosophy of courage, the authors present an illuminating dialogue between a philosopher and a young man. The philosopher explains to his student how each of us is capable of determining our own life, unhindered by past experiences and the aspirations of others. It's a profoundly liberating way of thinking, allowing us to develop the courage to change and to ignore the limitations we impose on ourselves and those around us. This remarkable book, a bestseller in bookstores, has succeeded in changing the lives of millions of readers—perhaps you could be one of them.
