Book Review: The Courage To be Disliked

The Courage To Be Disliked  Book by Fumitake Koga and Ichiro Kishimi explains the root of all misery and dissatisfaction in life. Why we complain about circumstances, why do we feel inferior about ourselves and how we can construct a strong personality.

Their is a conversation between a young guy and philoshor. Guy has many issue, he just works in library, all appreciation goes to his brother, parents are unfair and he has many common thing which boost the unfairness of life and he has thought everything happening is not result of his actions.

Philosopher and guy had a deep conversation about each and every problem he had, they discussed about his perspective. Philosopher explained and proved himself right. Their intense conversation is represented so cleanly. The boy mentioned is young and has same mentality as we have this gives more relatibility.

How we blame situation for what is happening with us. Being positive is not solution of problem you need to work on them. Writer has explained the root cause of misery. You will notice as your problem dissapears the excuse also vainshes with it.

We just try use excuse as reason of failure.

Inferiorty complex, lack of conversation skills all discussed. This book is worth reading if you are going through self doubt. As your reason will mean nothing to you will eventually develop better life.


The Courage to be disliked has many quotes and sayings, but my favorites are these :

"Unless one is unconcerned by other people’s judgments, has no fear of being disliked by other people, and pays the cost that one might never be recognized, one will never be able to follow through in one’s own way of lifeng. That is to say, one will not be able to be free"

"Why is it that people seek recognition from others? In many cases, it is due to the influence of reward-and-punishment education"


At start you will be little disappointed, how one can say every thing is for nothing, to know, have patience and read whole text.
Everything is not possible to belive but this can change a lot in you. This may encourage you to do best for your life.
