(Ep54) The Courage to be Disliked

Episode Summary

The Courage to be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga is a Japanese translation of an intriguing commentary on Adlerian Psycology. What does that have to do with kindness? Well, true kindness is discovering for yourself what you can love about life, even in the bad experiences, and even the dislikes of yourself.

Episode Notes

Adlerian Psychology is an intense and determined look at how we don't really need to take our past lives into account when forming our everyday life. While I have the benefit of taking this incrementally into my own life, I want to empower you to do the same. Some of the ideas and credits in this book are not meant to rule all, but add perspective. 

Boundaried kindness is what the world needs more of, and in fact, more self-compassion would help us all in bringing this about.
