"The Courage to Be Disliked, already an enormous bestseller in Asia with more than 3.5 million copies sold, demonstrates how to unlock the power within yourself to be the person you truly want to be. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of twentieth century psychology, The Courage to Be Disliked follows an illuminating conversation between a philosopher and a young man. The philosopher explains to his pupil how each of us is able to determine our own life, free from the shackles of past experiences, doubts, and the expectations of others. It's a way of thinking that is deeply liberating, allowing us to develop the courage to change, and to ignore the limitations that we and other people have placed on us. The result is a book that is both highly accessible and profound in its importance. Millions have already read and benefitted from its wisdom. This truly life-changing book will help you declutter your mind of harmful thoughts and attitudes, helping you to make a lasting change, achieve real happiness, and find success"--.

"From the creator of Dilbert and New York Times bestselling author of Loserthink, the ultimate guide to reframing: rewiring your brain to remove bad habits, start good ones, and see the world in a new way Imagine if you could reprogram your brain to make yourself healthier, happier, and more successful, and all you had to do was listen to some new ways to think about ordinary topics. You need a reframe. Take an example Adams invented years ago, to much personal success. Usual Frame: Alcohol is a beverage Reframe: Alcohol is poison Is alcohol literally poison? No, of course not. Or maybe. Sort of. Depends. But it doesn't matter. Your brain will process a lie - or any form of fiction - the same way it processes a truth. Reframes don't need to be true. They don't even need to be logical. They only need to work. In Reframe Your Brain, cartoonist, author, and lifelong student of all forms of persuasion Scott Adams will present his best and most compelling reframes, showing you along the way how to expand on the examples in the book and reframe new situations on the fly. All you need for success are focus and repetition; optionally (but potentially helpful in sticking to the reframe), add in some kind of strong emotion. With this book, you'll be a reframe pro in no time. If you've been stuck in the mind frame that any real change in life is too big and daunting, Adams will help you reframe that way of thinking to instead look for the smallest thing you can do that moves you in the right direction. With infinite varieties of reframes at hand, you can start, one small step at a time, to live the life you always wanted"--.

"[The author puts forth] a simple process for discarding obsolete beliefs and cultivating independent thought [using] . . . leaders, artists, scientists, and entrepreneurs [as examples] . . . [Varol argues that] great thinkers operate unconstrained by the opinions of others--or their own past opinions. They can act on new information regardless of the beliefs they once held, or identities they once adopted. They distinguish fact from manipulation. And just as importantly, they act first instead of reacting--creating new ideas and opportunities for themselves and others"--Provided by publisher.

This new compilation of her published work features pieces on why you should pursue purpose over passion, embrace negative thinking, see the wisdom in daily routine, and become aware of the cognitive biases that are creating the way you see your life.
