Courage to be Disliked by Fumitake Koga and Ichiro Kishimi

What if living more freely meant letting go of the need for everyone's approval? In Courage to be Disliked, Fumitake Koga and Ichiro Kishimi explore this question through a dialogue between a philosopher and a young man. Drawing on Alfred Adler's psychology, their conversations challenge familiar assumptions about happiness, relationships, and personal responsibility. Read a conversation at a time and pause to consider where other people's expectations influence your own choices.
