Story
The Courage to Be Disliked, already an enormous best seller in Asia with more than 3.5 million copies sold, demonstrates how to unlock the power within yourself to be the person you truly want to be. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of 20th-century psychology, The Courage to Be Disliked follows an illuminating conversation between a philosopher and a young man. The philosopher explains to his pupil how each of us is able to determine our own life, free from the shackles of past experiences, doubts, and the expectations of others.

Offensive and Idiotic

Unless you’re a raging narcissist who was no empathy for trauma, this book is laughable nihilism. Don’t read this.

Story
The Tao of Fully Feeling teaches us to respond to our painful and potentially disruptive feelings in healthy ways. It illustrates the enriching aspects of the so-called negative emotions and helps us achieve the emotional flexibility whereby sadness easily mellows into solace, anger unfolds into laughter, fear evolves into excitement, jealousy opens up into appreciation, and blame gives way to forgiveness.

This book teaches us to come out of denial and appreciate our emotions for what they are: a part of us. Sounds simple, but it's far from it.

Good subject matter, but mostly focused on men
Reviewed: 04-30-23
Most of the subjects here are males with abusive moms, and it glosses over abusive behavior by fathers, including physical abuse. So, it's a little less universal than the title implies. However, it's good that people are starting to talk about emotional abuse. Hopefully, in time, more diverse perspectives will contribute to the discussion.

It's sad to hear how amazingly radical Gloria Steinem used to be, knowing that she later became a slut-shaming, victim-blaming hypocrite.

Story
An "epoch-defining book" (The Guardian) and "this generation’s Silent Spring" (The Washington Post), The Uninhabitable Earth is both a travelogue of the near future and a meditation on how that future will look to those living through it - the ways that warming promises to transform global politics, the meaning of technology and nature in the modern world, the sustainability of capitalism and the trajectory of human progress. The Uninhabitable Earth is also an impassioned call to action.

Good, but verbose
Reviewed: 10-10-19
There were some genuinely interesting parts of this book, and the author has clearly done his homework. But he indulges his desire to elaborate and add unnecessary qualifiers, to the point of undermining the impact of his work.

Story
In The Unwinding, George Packer, author of The Assassins’ Gate: America in Iraq, tells the story of the United States over the past three decades in an utterly original way, with his characteristically sharp eye for detail and gift for weaving together complex narratives. The Unwinding portrays a superpower in danger of coming apart at the seams, its elites no longer elite, its institutions no longer working, its ordinary people left to improvise their own schemes for success and salvation.
