Publisher's Summary

Adler, along with Freud and Jung, created an entirely new branch of psychology, namely psychoanalysis. What Life Should Mean to You brings his conclusions to a popular audience. It covers adolescence, feelings of superiority and inferiority, the importance of cooperation, work, friendship, love, and marriage.

I wish it wasn't Abridged

An amazing audiobook. But it's missing 4 chapters [*Crime and its Prevention, Man and Fellow Men, Love and Marrage]

One of the greats

This short book was incredible view of the insights of Alfred Adler. I’d been interested in Freud, Jung, Fromm for a while, and this was my first view of Adler. Really interesting with some curious contradictions to other theories that will be good to dig into.
The narration was poorly suited, however. The reading was fine, but the voice didn’t suit. Psychology books written by old men should only be narrated by older men. Still worth the listen.
