Curajul de a fi fericit

Curajul de a fi fericit asks how changed thoughts might help us live happier lives. Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga draw on Alfred Adler’s ideas. They use them to address the problems we face today. This self-help book is for readers who seek more courage. It also suits those seeking a clearer sense of how to live.

The book uses a Socratic dialogue, an exchange of questions and answers. A young man doubts that a new outlook can improve his life. A philosopher argues that Adler’s work shows a way to happiness and fulfilment. He helps the young man grasp the needed shifts in thought. Their talk links courage to the choices we make each day.

The authors turn these ideas into plain steps to follow. They also place Adler alongside Freud and Jung. Those two men’s fame long cast a shadow over Adler’s work. The authors also use dialogue in Curajul de a nu fi pe placul celorlalti. This edition forms part of the Introspectiv series.
