The Courage to Be Disliked

After reading this book, you'll hopefully understand better that you have to live your own life in order to be content. Through an interesting scholar-teacher dialogue narrative in the book, the writers relay the teachings of German philosopher, Adler.

Adler posited that you shouldn't compare yourself to others (only to yourself) and he claimed even more extremely that you should only practice self-care (forget what others think), because by doing so you'll be the best version of yourself to serve others and achieve that elusive state of happiness.
