Unhappy with your life direction read this book

Reviewed in Australia on 27 June 2018

Great book which is written in dialogue form or a philosopher and young man. Excellent as the questions that one would have about concepts are answered succinctly. The concepts are deep but it is clear how this can bring about a change of the world from ones eyes. Dancing with moments ❤️

Simple - Surprising & effective

Reviewed in Australia on 29 May 2019

This book is a dialogue between a philosopher and youth in which youth is facing a "crisis of meaning" . Kishmi illustrates a firm standpoint and simple answers for complex questions relating to meaning of life.

I have never been a fan of Freudian psychology and it was good to hear a good refutation by Adler.

Whats surprising is that why such a Gem like Adler never made it to the mainstream.

This book is great read. I would definitely recommend ...

Very useful, might just change how I see things!

Okay, so I actually didn't read through the whole book the first time, possibly as the earlier ideas in the book are ideas that I had already understood as there are similar ideas in Stoicism.
This time I persisted all the way to the ahead, only taking 1 day to read, and I've highlighted so many parts too! Learning about the difference between vertical and horizontal relationships and the separation of tasks will be useful in the years to come.
The book is a little frustrating at first, but then it is written as a continual discussion/argument so naturally there are points of frustration, like you would have observing one in real life. But you end up with a satisfying conclusion.

I enjoyed the narrative between the philosopher and student in this book. It definitely challenged my views of teh world, and while you wont get a "quick fix" solution (but is there ever such a thing!). I have started to change my mindset based on the individualism concepts presented and it fits better with me.

What a fantastically told story between teacher and student, combining philosophical and psychological theory with real world practice and demonstration of how the the two can merge in the face of hurdles and adversity to an effective outcome. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to improve their lives.

Thought provoking. The disciplines required to be happy, easily understood, you only need the courage.
A book to be read over and over again.

I'm actually still digesting this book - one year after reading it. I read the book because the Collingwood Coach attributed it as being one of the causes for his complete change in attitude. Definitely worth reading.
