The Courage to be Disliked
Ichiro Kichimi
Finished
Psychology
Audio Book
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
389
Written as a series of discussions between a wise man and a young hot-head determined to disprove his philosophy, this book gently introduces a different kind of psychology framework- Adlerian psychology. Proposed by Alfred Adler, a colleague of Sigmund Freud, it lays out the Teliology, where everything is goal-oriented versus cause/effect oriented. Lots to learn, but I won’t spoil it.
+ Much clearer to me how Jungian/Freudian psychology is embedded in our culture.
+ Made it clear that a single psychological framework might not be sufficient to understand every kind of problem.
+ Encouragement seems like praising effort, which is much more effective than praising outcome.
Adlerian thought / Teleology seems to share a disdain of hierarchical behavior with Octavia Butler’s Lilith’s Brood and Parable series. In those, humans’ hierarchical tendencies led to their ruin. In the former, aliens artificially eliminate some of those tendencies to save us. In the latter, citizens of a future United States are pitted against each other along class lines to maintain power structures. A central requirement of Teleology is to foster Horizontal relationships focused on equality vs. vertical relationships which are hierarchical. Encouragement is required in the former, praise/admonishment is used in the latter. In Multipliers the Five Principles center on characteristics of horizontal relationships between teams / managers that inspire exponential performance.

Nesting After Divorce

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I didn’t know much about nesting before reading this book, though I had heard about it from reality TV shows. This covered both the aspirational reasons for nesting and practical advice for making it work for the long haul. I liked the concept of the book and wish it had been available sooner. It’s no longer applicable to my own situation, however.
