โ
๐๐พ Between the Lines: The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga โ Written as a dialogue between a philosopher and a young man, this book draws on the principles of Alfred Adler to make a single radical argument, that the need for approval is the very thing standing between you and the life you actually want. That we are not defined by our past, our circumstances, or anyone else's expectations of us. That freedom begins the moment we stop seeking permission to be ourselves.โ
โ
๐ฆ This issue is for anyone who has ever dimmed their light to make others comfortable. We are wonderfully and marvelously made. Let's own it.โ
