The courage to be disliked is a life changing book, if there ever was one.
And I do not say that lightly. As someone who has spent a good few years reading, devouring & digesting multiple non fiction books, of the self help kind, of the philosophy kind, of the psychology kind etc, I have a certain level of discernment now when it comes to recommending books.
This book is, in fact, the most recent addition to my list of favourite books.
In this episode of the unlearning playground podcast, I wanted to get into a brief summary of what the courage to be disliked is all about and why I recommend it (and in fact also gift it) to almost everyone looking for some must read books.
I also share 4 key powerful unlearnings (read life lessons) I think everyone should gather from this book, so even if I am not able to encourage you enough to pick this book for yourself, at least spend 14 minutes with me on this video so that you get a glimpse of the nectar it has to offer.
If I'm able to encourage you enough, please check out the book on Amazon from here - amzn.to/3XfBtsW

True that. I have read this book and the concept of separating tasks is impressive. This book can moreover make you a selfish being(in a good way). You'll learn to focus on yourself rather than worrying about the world.

That is a very good observation indeed. You need to become selfish in that sense, and then, expand the idea of your "self". All of spirituality, in essence, has that understanding at its root - the oneness (with Life) that your small, separate, afraid "self" can arrive at, and then act from that perspective. This book does a brilliant job of taking the reader there.

The book is based on the theory of Austrian psychologist Adler. This is very interesting book written in the style of plato’s dialogue. This hits at the very perspective of a views commonly held. Nice video, keep it up.❤

Thank you for your graceful comment. I personally resonate a lot with this book too, as is evident from the video as well. You’re quite right in saying that it is contrarian to a lot of commonly held opinions, and in talking about it, it holds true to its name by exhibiting “the courage to be disliked”. Hope to interact more with you on my channel here. Welcome to The Unlearning Playground. ✌️💚

Thanks for reviewing this wonderful book. For someone who’s not read the book, some of the ideas in it are - (1) happiness is linked to finding out that one is worthy, which in turn is linked to the idea / realisation that I am ‘beneficial to the community’ (2) superiority complex is inferiority complex in disguise (3) have the courage to be disliked (4) being praised or being rebukes, both aren’t helpful for you, reject both

Wow, I got my hands around this book a while ago, and I've only read half of it, but I couldn't agree more with what you said. The dialogue between two people was slightly triggering for me as I read it and also unpleasant in a way because you have to swallow some hard facts, but if you continue to read it, it will be surprisingly eye-opening and genuinely a must read. Thank you for articulating so nicely. Watching your video for the first time definitely going to subscribe.

Great video and the quote you mentioned in life lesson 4 reminded me of another quote probably they mean the same so it goes as "society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade of which they know they shall never sit in "

Just picked up and this book and was immediately triggered by “do not live to satisfy the expectations of others” as in my life I’ve always tried to live by others expectations on me and have many regrets in the past for decisions I made based on others opinions
