Money - investing, personal finance, and business decisions - is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money.

Human beings are primates, and primates are political animals. Our brains, therefore, are designed not just to hunt and gather but also to help us get ahead socially, often via deception and self-deception. But while we may be self-interested schemers, we benefit by pretending otherwise. The less we know about our own ugly motives, the better - and thus, we don't like to talk, or even think, about the extent of our selfishness. This is "the elephant in the brain".

Alfred Adler was an Austrian physician, psychotherapist, and one of the founding fathers of modern psychology. In Understanding Human Nature, (1928), Adler sets out to acquaint the general public with the basics of Individual Psychology, which holds that the driving force of human behavior is the individual’s striving for power, partly to compensate for feelings of inferiority. The purpose of the book is to identify mistaken behaviors and show how they undermine healthy relationships, in order to gently guide the individual towards adjustment.

Publisher's Summary
The Japanese phenomenon that teaches us the simple yet profound lessons required to liberate our real selves and find lasting happiness.
The Courage to Be Disliked shows you how to unlock the power within yourself to become your best and truest self, change your future and find lasting happiness. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of 19th-century psychology alongside Freud and Jung, the authors explain how we are all free to determine our own future - free of the shackles of past experiences, doubts and the expectations of others.
It's a philosophy that's profoundly liberating, allowing us to develop the courage to change and to ignore the limitations that we and those around us can place on ourselves. The result is an audiobook that is both highly accessible and profound in its importance. Millions have already benefited from its wisdom.

A change on your perspective
Whether or not this book will benefit you, depends on your ability to open your mind and change your perspective. I listened to and finished this audiobook within 2 days. Some of the concepts are harder to embrace than others, but if you listen to this audio book and do some of your own research on Philosophy and Psychology. You can change your life and negative viewpoint for the better.

Life changing
When I first started listening, I thought “oh god this is weird, I don’t like listening to this at all”. But then I forced myself to get past the part where they explain the different philosophies and psychologies...... and I think this is one of the most life changing books there are. It’s a conversation between a professor and a student and it really allows the material to seem real instead of just reading a normal book. You listen to the students arguments against the philosopher and how the philosopher explains his points. So good.

Profound Book
A profound book which discusses Adlerian Psychology. I learned new concepts such as Life Tasks, Ernest Living and Dancing in the Here and Now.
I agreed and recognized some of the ideas as true - intuitively, while disagreeing with others - vehemently.
At no time did the book leave me in a state of neutral.
Not an easy read. Substantive and weighty, it will appeal to readers with an interest in psychology and philosophy.

Listen to the sample first!
I wasn’t prepared for how the content is presented. It’s a dialogue, but one person portrays both roles AND the narrator. It can be off-putting if you aren’t accustomed to this approach, or expecting something different. Definitely listen to the sample first!
I liked the concepts presented (epidemiology and teleology) but would have preferred a different format.

Lifechanging Book
Excellent book! Many times I paused, rewound a bit, and listened again. Sometimes I listened to just a chapter or so, a short, quite bit into a concept, and then pondered it for a time before returning to the book. Surprisingly, there were a few moments when the truth of the thoughts brought forward in this book rung so true in my being that I teared up and felt a lump in my throat, filled witb emotion. I find that while some thoughts and certainly vocabary are new to me, there are many aspects here that simply affirm the way I currently live my life. I find this book 'lifechanging' because it offers thought-provoking wisdom though manageable, relatable dialogue - and even in the reading of it, I have changed.

Fantastic everyone should read this!
This is my first time learning about Adlerian psychology also the first book I have read that was written by a Japanese author. I can tell you that I intend to read a lot more books that fall into either category as this book was simply fantastic!

The courage to be disappointed
So, the courage to be disliked. I will start with the positives. First, I think the title is fantastic. It describes the book better than most other titles will. I know this because I hate myself for listening to it. So give credit when credit is due.
I think that's all the positives. Let's briefly give something negative.
It is structured so strangely. If I know I'm not going to like a book, I don't bother finishing it because I have others I want to listen to that I can enjoy. So, I don't know if it gets better, but the first hour is a chore.
The book is structured as if you are an outside observer. You are listening to differently people carry on a conversation about all these different topics. And the narration is so mundane it does not give any of these characters any kind of differentiation. It is like a spoken version of a chat log. Person 1: help, person 2:with what? Person 3: I think he needs help, person 2: I know but with what, person 1:.............
And the fact that they are voiced so similarly makes it feel you are listening to triplets you have never met or seen before carrying on a conversation about philosophy. No, I can't recommend this book at all. The content could have been ok because where I gave up he had started making something beyond the most basic of points. But at that point the narrator talking to himself style just hurt my head.
But hey, if you ever needed a reason to dislike yourself, take a dive.

Delightful introduction to Adlerian philosophy
It presents the philosophy of Adler very clearly in a manner that works well for audiobooks (i.e., conversationally). The core message is that all problems are interpersonal relationship problems and that the courage to he disliked in interpersonal relationships is the definition of freedom.

A Frustrating Format With So Much Filler
This is supposed to be conversational, but it has to be one of the worst conversations I've ever heard.
The student constantly derails the conversation with maddeningly stupid questions, and the philosopher goes on tangents and leaves ideas hanging to revisit later, instead of getting to the point.
Some of the ideas are interesting, but they are presented so horribly (probably because the teacher is a philosopher instead of a psychologist), that it's almost not worth the effort.

Not Buying Into It
I get people make excuses for things, but this is almost nihilistic. It promotes disregarding competition altogether, rather than how to deal with things like failure or genuine inferiority. Not really helpful.

A bitter and powerful dose of reality
I sincerely struggled with the first hour of the book as I found the dialogue setting a bit annoying. Luckily, I persisted as the conversation started to get richer with some profound concepts like interpersonal relationships, separation of tasks and contribution. It's a heavy listen/read but worth it if you like rigour of a well defined philosophy.

Life-changing!
As an avid reader who reads on average for about 2 to 3 hours a day, I can honestly say that this book was mind-blowing! It has been a long time since I have come across a book this powerful! I loved every bit! It's a bit difficult to grasp all of it at once, so I would strongly recommend a second and even third read. A phenomenal and life changing work!

Practical Insights, Clearly Read By Narrator.
A fresh way of delivering on philosophical viewpoints, palatable, story-like, lots of insights, lots of lightbulb moments (if you listen closely).
I loved the conversational set-up, I felt like I was the student listening in and getting some golden nuggets in the process!
A great way for the younger generations to digest philosophy that is practical.
Makes you think....and re-think ideas you may have held in your mind before. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to expand their mind and maybe challenge their beliefs about life, and trauma, and the connections between them.

Reading character name each time felt unnecessary
I got used to the dialogue format however announcing each character was annoying. Maybe using two different voices for each character would be a better option
