About this listen
The Japanese phenomenon that teaches us the simple yet profound lessons required to liberate our real selves and find lasting happiness.
The Courage to Be Disliked shows you how to unlock the power within yourself to become your best and truest self, change your future and find lasting happiness. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of 19th-century psychology alongside Freud and Jung, the authors explain how we are all free to determine our own future - free of the shackles of past experiences, doubts and the expectations of others.
It's a philosophy that's profoundly liberating, allowing us to develop the courage to change and to ignore the limitations that we and those around us can place on ourselves. The result is an audiobook that is both highly accessible and profound in its importance. Millions have already benefited from its wisdom. Now that The Courage to Be Disliked has been published in English, so can you.
Please note: This is a recording of the 2018 print edition.

Exploring ideas from Western psychology with an Eastern perspective, The Courage to Be Disliked offers a thought-provoking conversation on the pursuit of happiness.
What is the secret to genuine happiness? The Courage to Be Disliked approaches that question in the form of a Socratic dialogue between a philosopher and a lost young man who is facing a 'crisis of meaning'. Presented in short chapters that are easy to digest, the ensuing conversation and its insights are perfectly suited for audiobook listening.
The authors, philosopher Ichiri Kisomo and business/nonfiction writer Fumitake Koga, were inspired by their common interest in the theories of prominent 20th-century psychologist Alfred Adler. Using Adlerian psychology ideas and principles to help the young man in The Courage to Be Disliked, the conversation evolves into a series of lessons in developing self-confidence and achieving self-actualisation that has proven popular worldwide.
Before its English translation in 2017, The Courage to Be Disliked sold more than three million copies in Asia and was made into a television show in Japan. The show depicted an unmarried female detective who lives according to the title’s lessons. The decision to have a female lead was deliberate to appeal to Japanese women aspiring to be more independent.

ACTUALLY A LIFE CHANGING BOOK. I WANTED MORE.
I had the hard copy and the audio simply because I couldn't put it down. When I couldn't read the hard copy I had Adrian's voice in my head. One of the best readings I've heard. Also, I sometimes struggle with the voices of audiobooks, but Adrian's was perfect. The book is incredible and I'll be reading it again within the month to commit to memories. The more I read it the more I'll absorb it and the easier it will become to put it into practice. EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK. EVERYONE

Great book.
Simply presented and in digestible packages; good use of dual dialogue style to channel the reader to focus on the message that is being conveyed, rather than to allow the reader to misinterpret or miss it; extremely well read by Adrian. Adrian is a Great choice for this book.
