Kindle: The Courage To Be Disliked, Kishimi, Ichiro; Koga, Fumitake

Based on the philosophy of Alfred Adler. 
It is written as a dialogue between a youth and a philosopher. 

The crux of it:

The issues start with interpersonal relationships; we want to please others and in the process lose ourselves. 

You can only live your life, no one else can live it for you. 

If I change, the world will change. No one else will change the world for me …

It's about the here and now; life is a journey and contributing to others. 

Do not look at the past, and do not look at the future. One lives each complete moment like a dance. There is no need to compete with anyone, and one has no use for destinations.

‘One must not be afraid of being disliked. Freedom is being disliked by other people.’‘It isn’t that you lack competence. You just lack “courage”.’‘Neither the past nor the future exist. There is only “here and now”.’
