People crapping on this book haven't read it.

The primary focus here is Adlerian psychology. Adler was one of the big 3 in early 20th century Europe, alongside Freud and Jung. His general line of thinking is that we adapt our lifestyle to overcome feelings of inferiority. Sometimes, this has bad results. So the point is to try to change those patterns of thought.

I think they only go with the Japanese angle because of the authors and this book having been popular in Japan. Because marketing, I guess.

I liked it, and feel it has a lot to teach, plus the writing style — a conversation between two people — is one of my preferred styles for this kind of thing.

nah that just lets people judge you. You need to give your opinion harshly(not this) and without prompting(like this). Then you will find true dislike.

I think if we round up all the self-help/improvement books posted on SD, we can simply sum them up by saying "be anti-social." You don't need friends to be happy, as long as you're successful making loads of money. Be the ultimate capitalist.

How to be wealthy. How to negotiate. Financial decisions. How to be successful in business. How not to be taken advantage of. Etc, etc.

I don't know what this book is all about, just simply going by the title of the book.

It actually advocates to be more pro-social. "Community feeling" is one of the key concepts of Adlerian psychology.

This is a load of crap. Japan is ranked 55th on the Global Happiness Index. The United States is ranked 24th. Wondering which country is the happiest? Finland. Dead last? Afghanistan.https://worldhappiness.report/ed/...-kindness/

I'm not sure how your link has anything to do with this? The Nordic countries may demonstrate racism, but that doesn't negate the fact that they are the happiest, nor does it undercut the main point that I was making, which is that Japan is significantly less happy than the United States. Lastly, Japan has serious issues with racism as well....
