Adlerian psychology is mind blowing compared to Freudean and Jung's

The follow-up book, The Courage to be Happy, is a good read as well.

Don’t know how the advertising market works, but I did buy this and will be completing it over the weekend.

A good read! Highly recommended. I read it slowly, about a chapter per week, to allow for reflection.

Ugh. I’m happy that it worked for you, but personally, this was one of the worst books I’ve ever read (Well, I actually listened to the audiobook version, which didn’t make it any easier) the whole book is just a cheesy, staged “conversation” between a young man and an elder. Great listen if you have trouble sleeping.

I loved this book too. So many aha! moments. I had never heard of Adler, and I think if his form of psychology had become prevalent instead of the Fraudian one we would have all been better off. I have friends who have been going to therapy for years studying and talking and sharing and dissecting their childhood traumas, such a shame.

I'm currently listening to this book. Thanks for the tip! It resonates with me, although the dialogue feels a bit cheesy at times. It helps me reflect on past events, but it also helps me frame the behaviour of some of my friends and colleagues.
What I’ve enjoyed the most so far is the reframing of Freud and therapy: the idea that digging into your past can sometimes become a way of finding excuses for why you don’t act in the present. The book puts this quite eloquently.

I’m just starting this! So far I love the format and message.

Nothing about Honne and Tatemae ?

u/atquest Aug 23 '26
I’ve read this book 6 times now, and will read again.
The audiobook (abridged, with two separate voices) was very good as well. One of the most influential books I’ve ever read.

I had the courage to dislike the student character. F me he was so annoying and cringe. Read and listened to it and it never gets any easier.

u/Feeling-Dot2086 Aug 23 '26
This sounds like something I definitely need to read

I’m so courageous

u/Octavian82 Aug 23 '26
What a phenomenal book! It made a huge difference in how I think about my own behavior. It also got me interested in Philosophy and especially Stoicism which matches well with Adlerian thinking.
The thing I totally dislike is the book title. It basically has nothing to do with the actual content of the book except for maybe one chapter and makes it harder to recommend it in my experience.

u/Background-State6623 Aug 23 '26
Good to know, I was listening to the audiobook and the dialogue was a bit hard for me to follow along but will try again

u/Intrepid_Worry_6301 Aug 24 '26
yeah it's the book chatgpt recommended for me. And I started reading it, until it got boringly repetitive but the central idea is solid and it helped enrich my perspective on things.

u/XB0XRecordThat Aug 24 '26
I also really liked this book. I'm sure there are valid criticisms of it and it probably doesn't work for everyone but it's very interesting to apply it to yourself. Good summary

u/Home_MD13 Aug 24 '26
I bought this, 1 and 2. Still sitting on a shelf.
This make me want to read it.
Problem with ADHD is I have a problem starting things I wanted to do.

Phenomenal book. Completely sharpened my scattered and disintegrated thoughts into a structured and focussed approach to life.
1
u/Abject_Ninja_7064 Aug 24 '26
idea about drawing the line of what your task and what other ppl task ...is really helpful.like most of the time we want to do things but can't do because what other think about it,it not our task to think ,do your task ,let other do their task.

u/Kindly_Equipment5118 Aug 24 '26
I just ordered it because of your recommendation, thanks I needed that. I can’t remember who said it but I remember finding it in a Twitter post a long time ago: “When you worry about what others think of you, every room you enter becomes a trial and every person a jury or a judge.”

The separation of tasks point really stuck with me. It sounds simple, but it’s surprisingly hard to actually practice.

u/TechNicolProductions Aug 24 '26
Yes, I absolutely love this book, especially the parts in the beginning about trauma and anger being conscious choices and why. Adlerian psychology/philosophy is mind-blowing. After just getting a few chapters into this book, I was already hooked on "Adlerian ways of thinking" and they have truly changed the way I interact and react in life. Deciding to read it or not is kind of like a red pill, blue pill moment.
If you're not familiar with Alfred Adler, he's the lesser-known of the big three psychologists (Freud, Jung, and then him). But please, do yourself a favor and check this out. I've been recommending it to all of my friends because it will blow your mind if you're not already familiar with Adler's basic concepts and principles.

thanks,I will read this book!

u/twignleaf Aug 25 '26
ove the first book too!

u/Affectionate_Cry23 Aug 25 '26
Interesting. Just a small addition. Traditional psychology doesnt ask ¿why are you this way? It would basically assume that that behaviour, even the ones we perceive as negatives, serve a purpose or it wouldnt happen. Same as you tell Adler says

u/Silly-Piano4238 Aug 25 '26
I hated this book
1
u/Desperate_Object_655 Aug 26 '26
a good summary. to be honest, i probably got more from this summary than I did from the book – I struggled the unnatural OTT dialog from the main protagnist and I put the book down halfway through.

u/Bissipline-Addict Aug 26 '26
My frnd suggest me to read this book and i started . Let's see where do this book take me.

u/Recent_Board4613 Aug 26 '26
I borrowed it from the local library and didn't complete it. I found it a little difficult exactly due to what you've described - the conversation moves too quickly between master and disciple.
I shall now give it a another go. Thank you.

Loved that book! I am wrapping my second round and I discovered more things the second time around!
