Summary.
Night one : deny trauma.
Adler states, No experience is in itself a cause of our success or
failure. We do not suffer from the shock of our experiences but
instead we make out of them whatever suits our purposes.
The boy brings up an example of his friend, who has had fear and
anxiety about leaving the house for the past several years. The
reason he can't leave is potentially based on a traumatic
experience he had with his parents as a child.
The philosopher says based on Adlerian psychology he has created a
goal not to leave the house. And he is creating fear and anxiety as
his reasons to stay inside.
Night 2; all problems are interpersonal
relationship problems

The second night the boy and the philosopher meet, the boy comes
out and states that he dislikes himself.
This is one of the most important chapters of the book because it's
something many of us struggle with. The perceptions we hold of
ourselves are resolved. We notice our shortcomings because we
have decided we don't like ourselves. So from that vantage point,
we start to focus only on our shortcomings of ourselves and resolve
to fit that narrative. Charles Adler says that to get rid of our
problems, all we can do is live in the universe all alone.
Our very existence is assumed that there exist other humans. It's
impossible to live without others in the world, so all the problems
are interpersonal relationship problems.
Night 3; discard other people tasks
on third night the philosopher discusses to refuses the desire for recognition and
welcoming the idea of being disliked by others . This create motivation it pushes
us to live an unfree life being constantly worried about other and their judgment.
people suffer due to interpersonal relationships when thy fail to satisfy others
expectations .

night 4 ; where the center of the world.


In the fourth night of The Courage to be Disliked, we witness the youth
struggle with the idea of loneliness stemming from the separation of tasks.
If you're the only one who can change your life and achieve real happiness,
then that could feel pretty lonely.
But this Japanese society phenomenon shows describes the mind and body
as one, not separate. One part of the body can affect the other. The
separation of tasks is a tool to discern what we're in control of, but it's the
point of departure for interpersonal relations.
Night 5; To live in earnest in the here and now

In the final night of the book, the authors


summarize the key themes and ideas presented
throughout the book and offer practical guidance
for creating a fulfilling and meaningful life.
They argue that the key to happiness and
fulfillment is to take responsibility for our own
lives, to be true to ourselves, and to develop a
sense of social interest. They encourage readers
to embrace their own uniqueness and
individuality and to strive to create lives that are
based on their own values and goal

discovery .

responsibility for our own actions and decisions and
