The Courage to be Disliked provides a genuine insight on different perspectives of what it means to truly live. This book can be life changing if you take your time to read it and apply the lessons learned. It gave me the opportunity to conduct self reflection with each chapter. Highly recommend
This book is a guide to life for me. It had a deep impact on my worldview and I feel everyone in their 20s should read this book.
I dare you to have courage to be 100% yourself. The name of this really brings out the lessons, do we really have the courage to do anything that we willingly want to do or are we going to continue to limit ourselves based on limitations that we build on our own? Powerful books and the execution makes it more interesting.

Points in the conversations that stood out to me.
1. Contribution to others is the guiding star of life.
2. Having the courage of being yourself is the road to freedom and happiness.
3. Not living in the here and now is the thief of changing one's life to their fitting and actually finding the courage.
4. Don't get caught up in life lies.
5. Figure out what life means to you, in general life has no meaning, only an individual decides what life is like.
6. Separation of Tasks can save your life, your sanity, and your nervous system.
7. Do not force people to change.

Be yourself as if nobody is watching. Not as in nobody cares, because people care, but be yourself as if there is not a person in the world watching.

Interpersonal Relationships can bring hurt to us or we can carry hurt to those relationships. But, love yourself enough to not let these things stop you from being yourself, changing your values in which you believe in or living in the fear of rejection.

Worry is subjective and inner worry does not exist, it is planted there by other people into our brains. We must unlearn these limiting factors.

This book reminds me The Alchemist and I really liked the dialogue between the professor and the student. I like how they challenge each other and it really puts things into perspective about being proactive in life. A good book to read for anyone wanting to improve their self-esteem and self-actualiztion!
