More Praise

Marc Andreessen: "Smash hit in Japan, and easy to see why. Adlerian psychology meets Stoic philosophy in Socratic dialogue. Compelling from front to back. Highly recommend." Stewart Butterfield: "'The Courage to be Disliked' — which, right off the bat: great title, and definitely something I need — is a very traditional Socratic dialog, originally written in Japanese, principally about the work of the Austrian psychotherapist Alfred Adler. Will cause keen self-reflection!"
