I bought this book when @hubermanlab shared it. 

When I was a teen I unknowingly had an undeveloped Adlerian view of “this is not my task” in interpersonal relationships. I did not have the knowledge nor the vocabulary to express it correctly and instead repeated the naive phrase of “I don’t care what anyone thinks.” This is not what I meant, but it is what I often said. 

As I grew older and more educated I abandoned that sentiment, but was never able to parse the difference between what I felt at 16 and how I expressed it at 16. 

I have been in college for 13 years and for this entire time I have thought that my view of the world at 16—while naive—had some element of health that could be nurtured if identified. I understood that my worldview as a teen was underdeveloped and lacked nuance, but I also felt that there was some small portion of it that was healthier than it had become as an adult. 

This book and its Socratic inquiry of sorts into Adlerian psychology helped me identify and develop that element of health that existed in my worldview at 16 but had since been lost for years. 

Incredibly thankful for this book and for Huberman for sharing it. 

This book is a must read.
