EP-453 The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga - Book Recommendation
The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga explores a provocative idea: much of our unhappiness comes from living according to other people’s expectations. Drawing on Adlerian psychology, the book asks what might change if we stopped seeking approval, accepted responsibility for our choices, and found the courage to live on our own terms.
