PRODUCT INFORMATION
What if one simple choice could unlock your destiny? Already a major bestseller in Asia, this follow-up to the international phenomenon The Courage to Be Disliked shares the powerful teachings of Alfred Adler, one of the giants of nineteenth-century psychology, through an illuminating dialogue between a philosopher and a young man. The Courage to Be Happy opens three years after The Courage to Be Disliked ends. Three years ago, armed with the eye-opening philosophies of Adler, the young man decided to change his career and become a schoolteacher, employing Adlerian philosophies in his classroom. In The Courage to Be Happy, he returns to the philosopher's study, angry and frustrated, convinced that Adler's teachings only work in theory, not in the real world. Over the course of an impassioned conversation, the philosopher helps his student deepen his understanding of Adlerian psychology, while giving him the tools to employ Adler's powerful teachings in 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 readers to let go of the shackles of past trauma and the expectations of others, and to use this freedom to create the life they truly desire. Filled with lessons of how to let go of the thoughts and patterns that can trap you like blame and self-pity, and the power of mind decluttering, this eye-opening book teaches you how to chart a new path forward, no matter your starting point. A must read for parents, managers, employees, partners, and seekers alike, The Courage to Be Happy offers a liberating new way to view the world. As the philosopher explains, we cannot see the future, because it is filled with infinite possibilities. But these infinite possibilities are precisely why we can become master of our own destinies. 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. Discover the courage to choose happiness.
