A Permanent Addition to my Library

I cannot recall how I came across Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga's THE COURAGE TO BE DISLIKED. It may have been through a conversation at work on another book like this. The title, of course, drew me in immediately. I also purchased, but have not read yet, the companion book, THE COURAGE TO BE HAPPY.I found THE COURAGE TO BE DISLIKED to be the honest, shot-in-the-arm, no nonsense advice/perception for readers to take an honest stock of your life, your situation, and the people around you and respond accordingly by compartmentalizing what is happening. When I have been in conflicts, in the back of my head, I have always thought that the reason the person is angry has nothing to do with me. This book confirms it.

Own your own stuff, and stop taking on other people's burdens as your own.I also liked the conversational format the authors took to relay this message. It made it understandable, especially on the side of the "Youth" portrayed in the text. The "Youth" asked questions that us readers were thinking.Bottom line, not everyone will like your choices, and that's okay. This book is for all the people pleasers out there looking to break free. I can't wait to read THE COURAGE TO BE HAPPY.#CillasBookManiacs

I can't believce I bought this book.

as a state expert in behavior and behavioral change, 20 professional presentations, six years teaching psych, twenty years of helping folks overcome addiction and trauma, I know a little bit about this topic. I do agree with the authors that a weekend experiential seminar is not worth much, however, their very independent or anti-dependent, focus on 'autonomy' is similar to the eighties and the kind of new aged woo woo that is preached in those types of seminars. the book is boring, the typical self help story-line, an imaginary teacher and student. humans are a combination of nature, nurture, and self choice, to state that trauma has no impact is dangerous, read up on the ACE study to learn more. Our genes play a large role in personality, like my mom said, all ... Moreas a state expert in behavior and behavioral change, 20 professional presentations, six years teaching psych, twenty years of helping folks overcome addiction and trauma, I know a little bit about this topic.

Our genes play a large role in personality, like my mom said, all three boys (sons of hers), came out different, one now has a ph.d. in math, one a masters in education and a bachelors in biology, and of course me, masters in counseling/psychology. Can obstacles be overcome, of course they can, we can change, about a third of who we are, but//and our general nature of who we are, will also remain the same. self help books like this are worthless, try a group experience, Alanon, AA, NAMI, on a regular, at least weekly basis, others, anything from ballroom dance to yoga to karate,and therapy, and guaranteed, in about a years you will see some impactful change. don't buy into the simplistic, dichotomous, viewpoint of a book like this one.
