About The Book

In this beautiful boxed set, the internationally bestselling TikTok sensations and transformative guidebooks by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga reveal how to discover your genuine self and find true personal happiness in life—based on the theories of psychologist Alfred Adler.

In The Courage to Be Disliked, a dialogue between a philosopher and a young man effortlessly reveals how we can each unlock our full potential and change our lives for the better. With accessible advice, learn how to apply the principles of self-forgiveness, self-care, and mind decluttering in order to become the person you truly want to be.

Then in The Courage to Be Happy, the conversation continues, uncovering a new way of life by letting go of past trauma, others’ expectations, and more. With this liberation comes the ability to choose happiness as never before.

About The Authors

Ichiro Kishimi

Ichiro Kishimi was born in Kyoto, where he currently resides. He writes and lectures on Adlerian psychology and provides counseling for youths in psychiatric clinics as a certified counselor and consultant for the Japanese Society of Adlerian Psychology. He is the translator, into Japanese, of selected writings by Alfred Adler—The Science of Living and Problems of Neurosis—and he is the author of Introduction to Adlerian Psychology, in addition to numerous other books.

Fumitake Koga

Fumitake Koga is an award-winning professional writer and author. He has released numerous bestselling works of business-related and general non-fiction. He encountered Adlerian psychology in his late twenties and was deeply affected by its conventional wisdom–defying ideas. Thereafter, Koga made numerous visits to Ichiro Kishimi in Kyoto, gleaned from him the essence of Adlerian psychology, and took down the notes for the classical “dialogue format” method of Greek philosophy that is used in this book.

Raves and Reviews

“Adlerian psychology meets Stoic philosophy in Socratic dialogue. Compelling from front to back. Highly recommend.”
MARC ANDREESSEN, venture capitalist and founder of Andreessen Horowitz

“[The Courage to Be Disliked guides] readers toward achieving happiness and lasting change. . . . Readers are challenged to discard their past and embrace the present, as the authors take on questions and arguments about moving forward in an Adlerian style. . . . For those seeking a discourse that helps explain who they are in the world, Kishimi and Koga provide an illuminating conversation.”
Library Journal

“[The Courage to Be Disliked] changed my life.”
JOE VITALE, spiritual teacher and author of Zero Limits Living

“An empowering perspective on how to brush off social pressures and trust in your innate self-worth to find happiness. . . . [A] nuanced discussion of a complex theory, with moments of real philosophical insight. . . . [I]t’s refreshing and useful to read a philosophy that goes against many contemporary orthodoxies. More than a century since Adler founded his school of psychology, there’s still insight and novelty in his theories.”
Quartz

“Marie Kondo, but for your brain.”
