What if your past didn't define you? What if you could stop worrying about what other people think? What if you could create the life you really wanted? You can. The Courage to Be Happy explains how. Profoundly moving and potentially life-changing, this companion to The Courage to Be Disliked- the bestselling Japanese phenomenon with more than 10 million copies sold worldwide-shares the teachings of Alfred Adler, one of the giants of nineteenth-century philosophy. Told through an illuminating dialogue between a philosopher and a young man, The Courage to Be Happy reveals the path to true happiness, and teaches you how to choose happiness in the chaos and messiness of everyday life. While The Courage to Be Disliked provided the map, this book provides the compass, guiding you on the path to self-discovery and self-love and teaching you how to let go of blame and self-pity, no matter your starting point. Designed to be read on its own or alongside the first book, The Courage to Be Happy reveals a liberating new way to think, empowering you to let go of the past, stop worrying about what you "should" do, and use this freedom to create the life you truly desire. We cannot see the future, because it is filled with infinite possibilities. As The Courage to Be Happy explains, these infinite possibilities are precisely why we can become the master of our own destinies. The choice is yours to make.
