It was good. Interesting to see the perspective of a man doing the same thing from the previous book.
Only thing I didn't like about the book is that it was trying to tell 3 stories at once, and I feel like it got lost sometimes. I liked the ideas it explores though. It is a good read.

Wow, not much to say on this but wow the ending of that got pretty crazy and I am still not sure what to believe about it. I think I really enjoyed the book though. I would be interested in reading the sequel

The way to live
5 stars
The Courage to Be Disliked really just gave shape to ideas I already believed, but in a way that made them easier to understand and live by. The dialogue between the philosopher and the youth walks through Adlerian psychology step by step, and I liked how each idea built on the last.

More than anything, the book left me feeling both validated and motivated. It reminded me that it’s okay not to chase approval—that what matters is contributing and living by my values, not being recognized for them. It also pushed me to realize that real change means adjusting my lifestyle and mindset, not just trying to think more positive thoughts. I’d definitely recommend it to others; even if not everyone connects with the style right away, I think most people would find something in it that really sticks.
