I've been reading a a really interesting book um recently that's uh Bas basically grounded in adarian Psychology yeah I'm I wasn't familiar with adarian psychology yeah Adler's very practical the book talks about Adler as a as a Counterpoint to Freud and Yung what's the book um the book is called the courage to be disliked and I highly recommend it to everybody it was actually written by Japanese author I think there are two Japanese authors it didn't get quite so popular in this country but it it had a big following um in Japan and I think in other places in uh in Asia and um the book is is set up as a conversation between essentially a philosopher at of adarian psychology and a student um who's challenging him so it's a conversation that raises all the all the challenges that one that would come to one's mind if you were to be presented with this idea of Life tasks and that we're supposed to discard with our thoughts about prior trauma and just figure out what are our tasks now right right and I I like the practicality of it Adler's very practical yeah I like that
