Courage to be unpopular

It is not important what we were provided with at birth, but the important thing is how we use this provision. Your suffering in life cannot be attributed to your past or your environment. Nor because you lack ability, but because you lack courage. I can say that you lack the courage to be happy... You do not have enough courage to change your way of life. It is easier to keep things as they are now, even though that is not without complaints and restrictions. Under a provocative title that goes in the opposite direction of everything we learned since childhood, this valuable book, easy to understand and deeply meaningful, explains how to unleash the power within us to become the person we wish to be, without paying attention to others’ opinions or worrying about their approval. The authors, based on Alfred Adler’s theories and philosophy about courage, present an enlightening dialogue between a philosopher and a young man, in which the philosopher explains to his student how each of us is capable of shaping our lives, without being hindered by past experiences or others’ aspirations. It is a way of thinking that deeply liberates us, allowing us to develop the courage to change and to ignore the boundaries we impose on ourselves and those around us. This wonderful book, which has become a phenomenon in bookstores, has succeeded in changing the lives of millions of readers, and perhaps you will be one of them! It truly changes the rules of the game. – Marie Claire magazine
