the_robyn's review against another edition
DNF'ed at 43%. What an utter misnomer of a book, and unreadable drivel on top of that.
If you were hoping to learn about how to get the courage to be disliked, you will probably not find that here. This is a treatise (?) on Adlerian philosophy/psychology in dialogue format.
But hey, did you know that trauma doesn't exist? :) (And yes, I did read past that part. Quite a bit past it.)
There is literally nothing I liked about this book. The dialogue format, the writing, the reliance on psychological theories that definitely do not hold anymore, and (presumably) the translation into English. I think I DNF'ed after reading the young guy say "No way!' for the seventeenth time.
