The Courage to Be Disliked.

The Courage to Be Disliked

By Ichiro Kishimi & Fumitake Koga

Break free from the chains of the past. Choose happiness—today.

In this international bestseller—sold in over 10 million copies worldwide—a wise philosopher and a skeptical youth engage in a life-changing dialogue that distills the revolutionary psychology of Alfred Adler into a simple, transformative truth:

Your past does not define you. Your future is not determined by trauma, praise, or blame.

Through sharp, Socratic exchanges, you’ll discover:

- Why seeking approval is the root of unhappiness

- How to separate your tasks from others’ and reclaim your freedom

- The power of “here and now” to rewrite your life script

- Why courage—not confidence—is the key to change

“You are the only one who can change yourself.”

Already a global phenomenon (translated into 40+ languages), The Courage to Be Disliked is more than a book—it’s a permission slip to live boldly, unapologetically, and joyfully.

Stop waiting for the world to like you. Start living for yourself.

Perfect for fans of Stoicism, mindfulness, and anyone tired of carrying yesterday’s burdens.
