    About this audiobook

    In this follow-up to the international bestseller and TikTok sensation The Courage to Be Disliked, discover how to reconnect with your true self, experience true happiness, and live the life you want.

    What if one simple choice could unlock your destiny?

    Already a major international bestseller, this eye-opening and accessible follow-up to the “compelling” (Marc Andreessen) worldwide phenomenon The Courage to be Disliked shares the powerful teachings of Alfred Adler, one of the giants of 19th-century psychology, through another illuminating dialogue between the philosopher and the young man.

    Three years after their first conversation, the young man finds himself disillusioned and disappointed, convinced Adler’s teachings only work in theory, not in practice. But through further discussions between the philosopher and the young man, they deepen their own understandings of Adler’s powerful teachings, and learn the tools needed to apply Adler’s teachings to the chaos of everyday life.

    To be read on its own or as a companion to the bestselling first book, The Courage to Be Happy reveals a bold new way of thinking and living, empowering you to let go of the shackles of past trauma and the expectations of others, and to use this freedom to create the life you truly desire.

    Plainspoken yet profoundly moving, reading The Courage to Be Happy will light a torch with the power to illuminate your life and brighten the world as we know it. Now you can discover the courage to choose happiness.

      Not as mind blowing as the courage to be disliked

    • 5/5
      This book has incited in me a great interest in Adlerian psychology. For those interested in unschooling as I am you will find Adler's ideas lending a terrific philosophical and psychological foundation, although I'm sure Adler himself never imagined such a thing
    • 5/5
      A very fluid and enjoyable discussion of the psychological and philosophical concepts behind Adlerian psychology. Can highly recommend to anyone interested in psychology, philosophy or personal development. Lots of new reflections to be considered. Can also be read without having read the first book.
    • 5/5
      5/5. Exceptional book-talks about love and shares some opinions that are liberating!
    • 5/5
      One of the best books I have ever read. I love this book.
    • 1/5
      Huge waste of time. they just keep going around in circles with no real take always. only part i found useful is the last hour. Did not learn anything new
    • 5/5
      This book and its companion, The Courage to Be Disliked (which should be listened to first), present a revolutionary perspective on life and reveal for scrutiny the unquestioned assumptions we make about how the world works. Each book offers an eminently practical and powerful outlook for how to pursue a positive relationship with the self and live a fulfilling life. The dialog format not only makes Adler’s ideas easy to understand and remember, but also offers the listener the opportunity to hear these ideas questioned. These two books are truly life altering.
    • 5/5
      It gives you some clarity of what happiness means to every individual.
    • 5/5
      5 for the ideas, 4 for the presentation. The Youth is rather annoying here.
    • 5/5
      Such an amazing journey I had with the youth and the philosopher.
    • 5/5
      It was very helpful for me to deal my personal issues. I am thankful to have listened this valuable version.
    • 5/5
      A book that makes you reflect on your actions, I liked more the first book but this one is also so good!
    • 5/5
      The sequel was wonderful. A lot of it is something that makes a lot of sense in our daily lives and don’t think people notice it. I would advise people to listen to it for themselves and a better understanding. Not to make your life about this book but it’ll help life the way to learning more about yourself, society, friendships, relationships, trying to unlearn false ideas that have been embedded in us.
    • 5/5
      I love this edition in the part of love that we need to choose love, choose life and choose self reliance, where happiness lies is not the destined one, but being free from oneself of obsessing the “me” attitude and gravitating towards “us” where we reach a community feeling of contributing to others and seeking growth in human relationships would be our ultimate task
    • 2/5
      The philosopher makes a case, but it isn’t memorable, nor is it convincing. The ideas were mentioned, and arguments were made, but there was not enough reinforcement for the ideas. As a result, I didn’t become acquainted with the core messages, and neither did I find his perspective deeper or more valuable than my own.
