Great Read
5By President RickbI thought the book had some extremely great point of viewsDon’t bother
1By OrcaBallThis book builds a lot of its idea’s around the belief that “trauma does not exist”, which should tell you pretty much everything you want to know about it. Trauma is not some nebulous idea that should be up for debate in philosophical circles, it is an established psychological phenomenon; a fact. No book worth your time would try this kind of denial of established science.This was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
5By PapiChulpThis book was great!Have some courage and live in the now.
5By EdloxciiI’m not much of a reader, working on it haha, but I truly enjoyed this book. Without even knowing it, I was already living my life in some ways of Adlerian Psychology. Reading this felt, comforting and inspiring to continue to live life in its true form of the here and now. To Mr. Kishimi and Mr. Koga, my sincerest thanks for creating this book.Awesome
5By Professor ZoLife changing.Great read!
5By WhatsthekikiReally interesting point of view but a lot to take in. Some things are natural to absorb and others not so much. The simplicity is not so simple.Amazing read
5By yaboiisacGreat book! I didn’t realize I was using the teaching in my everyday life after just a couple of chaptersI love it
5By Ernesto de la boozeI couldn’t put this book down. I’ve never heard of etiology or teleology before, but, recently, I’ve noticed that people these days almost seem to “worship” the events in their life that impacted them negatively, and in doing so, never seem to be able to move on from them. That is to say that all of one’s actions are based upon negative circumstances from the past and if anyone tries to convert you away from your beliefs about the past, or minimize its importance in your life now, you’ll likely react with disgust and anger. This book shines a light on an alternative way of viewing the world. I believe it is a much healthier, wiser, and easier way of living than what is being promoted today.Amazing book!

5By Jdv230Beautifully written book with incredible ideas and philosophy. Highly recommended.Most Impactful Book I Have Ever Read
5By Houdin1_I looked for a book over years that would help me in my personal struggles of being myself. This book helped me in that and much more. So much wisdom in this one book, I refer to it at least once every few weeks and read passages which I did not derive the full knowledge from. It is slightly difficult to understand the concepts sometimes, but stick with it and reread. The writing format is also genius and leads to a highly engaging read. Highly recommend to everyone.Amazing

5By Fluffiest of them allMy favorite book of all timeGreat read
5By Mark NosratiI thought the book did a great job at exposing a lot of our subconscious personalities that we are not aware of on a day to day basis. Like the need to argue and be right in irrelevant matters. But some of the point of view of the philosopher was not argued thoroughly by the student. One of which was his theory of living in the moment. As I expected, he provided a world view that one can only choose now or the future. Never does it cross the student’s mind to ask why not both? That’s my only gripe with this book. I felt like some of the topics could’ve been argued more thoroughly. I understand that would’ve made the book much longer. I felt like some of the position of the student were very amateur and could’ve been left out. Overall, I think it’s a good read but not a final blueprint on how one should live their life. Free advice is only free until you act on it. That’s when it will cost you. So take this book with a grain of salt.Read it!
5By Rizzo B.Life changing. Do yourself a favor and read this book and then pass it in to anyone else who will read it.Best way to involve a reader!
