The Courage To Be Disliked: How to free yourself, change your life and achieve real happiness by Ichiro Kishimi, Fumitake Koga
Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
IMMEDIATELY NO!
DNF but I managed to get to 10% and I know enough to judge it and immediately dismiss it.
The first red flag should been that it's dedicated to young men.
The book is written from an extremely privileged pov that states from the very beginning that trauma isn't real and if you're not anything bu happy it's your fault. Child abuse? You're just doing it because that's how your parents give you attention.
Weirdly enough, the book is written from the incredibly patronizing and paternalistic perspective of an old philosopher debating a young man. They think they know better and want to convince the others. Just the ego of choosing to debate your own perspective in your book???
I can't remember the last time a book made me this angry!
