重點：鼓勵人們要有勇氣去計劃自己的人生且不要理會別人的想法

◆人生沒那麼困難,是你讓人生變得複雜了,其實,人生非常單純。

◆有勇氣、有耐力、有自信,失敗絕非勇氣的挫敗,而是應該挑戰面對新課題。
◆心態健全的人,不會試圖改變對方,而是改變自己。

AIthough the book was written by two Japanese authors, they were heavily influenced by the theories' of the Austrian psychiatrist, Alfred Adler.

雖然這本書由兩位日本作家所寫,但他們深受奧地利精神病學家阿爾弗雷德.阿德勒的學說影響。

Born in 1870, Adler is considered the father of individual psychology.

出生於1870年的阿德勒被視為是個體心理學之父。

He believed that people often suffer due to an inferiority complex they develop as children.

他認為人們受苦的原因通常是因為他們小時候養成的自卑感。

Adler's goal was to help his patients overcome these feelings so that they can live life to the fullest.

阿德勒的志向是要幫助他的病人克服這些情緒,這樣他們才能充分地享受生活。

Adler was against the idea that our past determines our present.

阿德勒不同意我們的過去決定了我們的現在這個說法。

He believed this way of thinking limits future growth.
他認為這樣的思維限制了未來的發展。

So, he told his patients to focus on future goals instead.
所以,他反而告訴他的病人要專注在未來的目標。

This allowed them to shapes their own future without limitations.

這讓他們毫無限制地塑造自己的未來。

Adler also felt that the fear of other people's opinions holds many people backs in life.

阿德勒也覺得害怕別人的評價使許多人在生活中停滯不前。

He encouraged people to have the courage to design their own lives and disregard what others think.

他鼓勵人們要有勇氣去計劃自己的人生且不要理會別人的想法。

The Courage to Be Disliked is perhaps the best introduction to Adler's teachings.

《被討厭的勇氣》這本書可能阿德勒學說的最佳導讀。

The authors make his ideas easier to understand for modern readers.

兩位作者讓現代讀者能輕易讀懂阿德勒的想法。

As such, readers can put Adler's teachings to work after each chapter as they work to improve their lives.

正因如此,讀者可以在每個章節後運用阿德勒的學說,努力改善他們的人生。
