Very readable book that uses theories of psychologist Alfred Adler to show how to change one's life. The theories are done in the form of five dialogues between a philosopher and a young man, with some useful repetition to help the ideas stick.
Some of the ideas that form these theories:
- one's life is not determined by one's experiences, including trauma
- people can change when they're unhappy, but they often find use in NOT changing
- wanting recognition, or living to satisfy others' expectations causes one to be unfree and unhappy
- one gains happiness with contributions to others
