6 key ideas, each explained in our own words.

The Courage to Be Disliked

  1. IDEA 1

    Goals over causes

    Adlerian psychology focuses less on what caused your behaviour and more on what it is for. Ask what purpose a feeling or habit serves right now.

  2. IDEA 2

    Separate tasks

    Ask whose task it is. How others judge you is their task, not yours. Stop carrying tasks that belong to other people.

  3. IDEA 3

    All problems are relationship problems

    Most suffering comes from comparing ourselves with others. Replace competition with seeing others as comrades.
