"How to Find That State of Freedom and Happiness" —

Looking back at Ichiro Kishimi's book on Adlerian thought seven years later, I feel a deeper understanding. Indeed, the insights and experiences gained at different ages are unique. However, I believe that it is never too late to read Adler's thoughts at any age!

The author of this book, Ichiro Kishimi, also mentions that to truly understand Adler's psychology, one needs "an amount of time equivalent to half of their age."

In other words, if you start learning at 40, it will take 20 years to master it. Therefore, revisiting it often and combining it with your own experiences is quite enjoyable!

I highly recommend it!

Over the years, I feel that the greatest benefit of Adlerian thought has been deepening my understanding of human nature, while also helping me discover the "inferiority" that has been hidden deep in my memory and has continuously influenced me, exposing the "excuses" that make me resist change.

In reality, it is not that we cannot live better; rather, we have always lacked the courage to make our lives better.

Adler's thoughts will tell you that your success and happiness have nothing to do with anyone else; everything depends on you. Adler's ideas will help you establish this internal self-esteem system. Once you have built this self-esteem system and have the courage to be disliked, living life in your own way will bring happiness and freedom as promised!

To be precise, it should be "breaking through your own closed loop."

In other words, your actions and thoughts should form a closed loop within yourself. For example, when you praise others, you will unconsciously want them to accept your praise; when you apologize to others, you will pay special attention to whether they will forgive you.

But Adler's thoughts tell us that these are not important. What matters is that you believe in your heart that doing so is right and meaningful. You should not care about others' opinions of this matter or of you as a person. You need to understand that how you act is your issue, and how others respond is their issue. Understanding this closed loop is the first step towards freedom!

Musk once said that wanting to be liked by others is a weakness, and I do not have that weakness.
