I never expected a book to shift my mindset so profoundly, but The Courage to Be Disliked did exactly that. It’s not just a book—it’s a philosophy, a wake-up call, and a challenge to everything we think we know about happiness, relationships, and success.At its core, this book teaches the power of letting go—of seeking approval, of past regrets, of self-imposed limitations. As someone navigating the business world, this lesson was transformative. It helped me realize that success isn’t about pleasing everyone or conforming to expectations. Instead, it’s about staying true to your values, making decisions confidently, and focusing on what truly matters.

I love everything about this book. I love that it is in dialogue and easy to read. I love the Adlerian psychology approach and the depth of understanding the author has. I would highly recommend this for anyone but especially for anyone who wants to let go of fear of what others think

Very interesting ideas
