Courage To series

The Courage To Be Disliked : The life changing global bestseller recommended by Steven Bartlett on 'Diary of a CEO'

THE 10 MILLION COPY BESTSELLER

Stop people-pleasing and achieve true happiness.

Millions have already benefited from the wisdom dispensed in The Courage to Be Disliked, its simple yet profound advice showing us how to harness our inner power to become the person we would like to be.

A philosopher and a student have a discussion. Their conversation reveals a profoundly liberating way of thinking: by developing the courage to change, set healthy boundaries and resist the impulse to please others, it is possible to find genuine and lasting happiness.

Your life is not something that someone gives you, but something you choose yourself, and you are the one who decides how you live.
