The Courage to Be Happy: Discover the Power of Positive Psychology and Choo Paperback – 24 December 2019

The book is in perfect shape.

Nice book

I very rarely write a review for products but I am feeling a strong internal urging to write one for The Courage to be Happy which I read recently after finishing The Courage to be Disliked. Both books were profoundly impactful for me, and after 32 years of parenting a child, I am working well with her finally, as is my husband, who has read The Courage to be Disliked. There is such depth and wisdom in both books and for me they are both deeply spiritual in nature although not in an obvious way. I definitely respond better to philosophical points of view such as presented here versus traditional psychology/therapy which has helped me in such limited ways. Due to and thanks to the books beautiful simplicity and helpful guidance, I finally understand the power of having unconditional confidence in others and meeting them on a horizontal plane versus a vertical one. Thank you Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga for changing my life for the better. I am grateful to you both!

The concept is okay. The conversation between an uppity youth and what is probably an unemployed Philosophy Post Doctorate prof. Forget reading through each chapter. Just skip to the summary at the end. See how that concept under “discussion” sits with you. Some of them are useful. Others only work if you’re a monk. Or unemployed Philosophy major.

Used book in bad shape. Would not recommend.
