JP Leonardo: The sequel is even better. This made me understand the true meaning of being happy. What a great book. Both this and the first. I strongly recommend for all to give this a read.

Ambiorix: Je n'aime pas lire des dialogues continus. J'ai lu quelques pages et puis stop.
Je ne peux pas juger le contenu, uniquement le "format" qui ne correspond pas à mes préférences.

Susan D. Brock: I very rarely write a review for products but I am feeling a strong internal urging to write one for The Courage to be Happy which I read recently after finishing The Courage to be Disliked. Both books were profoundly impactful for me, and after 32 years of parenting a child, I am working well with her finally, as is my husband, who has read The Courage to be Disliked. There is such depth and wisdom in both books and for me they are both deeply spiritual in nature although not in an obvious way. I definitely respond better to philosophical points of view such as presented here versus traditional psychology/therapy which has helped me in such limited ways. Due to and thanks to the books beautiful simplicity and helpful guidance, I finally understand the power of having unconditional confidence in others and meeting them on a horizontal plane versus a vertical one. Thank you Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga for changing my life for the better. I am grateful to you both!

Venkatesh: The discussion about why kids crave attention and how it affects their up bringing and development was very interesting. This was also true of the part about what education is about. The distinction between trust and confidence and how it matters on relationship was refreshing. Overall, I liked this book despite it being a bit different in content than the first volume in a good way 😊

I'm Me Me: I read this book after devouring "The Courage To Be Disliked" which I found logically sound. I am a student of mathematical logic and when I hear an argument about reality, I listen carefully to the logical path it takes to come to its ultimate conclusion, which his previous book did with skill. I truly enjoyed Adler's theories of human behavior outlined in such a way, and found them to be more fascinating that Frued's models. For this reason I picked up the second book.
Those who found the dialog structure tedious in the first book will find themselves doubly annoyed in the second book, as the younger man character is about as obtuse as one can get, and simply parrots the wise man's words back to him about 90% of the time, which does not add to the message but only breaks up what the wise man is trying to convey. Example:
Wise man: "You must write a good amazon review to get people to read the book!"
Young man: "To read the book?"
Wise man: "Yes! To read the book!"
The repetitive nature, I believe, is either a consequence of poor translation or to slow the reader down so they think harder on the concepts, which I don't believe is necessary. If...

Vitor Hipólito: Excelente leitura! O livro possibilita o crescimento pessoal como ser humano. Permite o entendimento de conceitos da Psicologia Adleriana, com a qual me identifiquei e que trouxe respostas importantes para mim como ser humano. Já tinha lido o livro anterior, na versão em português (A Coragem de Não Agradar) e deste gostei ainda mais!
