Book Review [166] : The Courage To Be Disliked

 

'The Courage to be disliked' by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga is a book inspired by Adlerian Psychology. I bought it from Amazon after seeing it as a best sellers and 'Over three million copies sold worldwide' written on top of it. I have read many self help books but i will not rate this book in my top 5 books.

I gave sufficient time and energy to read this book but it failed to inspire me. I think i am at fault in getting some thing meaningful from this book. The few concepts that can be useful in one's life:

• Separation of tasks
• Feeling of community
• Having confidence in others
• Horizontal relationships
• We always have a choice to chose our destiny
• Cribbing over past is not right
• Everything is a complex of inter personal relationship problems
• Praise and Rebuke are manipulative tools
• Respecting boundaries are important 

This book is written in a dialogue form and this has put me off. At many places it reeks of boredom and banal megalomania.
