reading about this now in The Courage to be Disliked
seems pretty fucking stupid, maybe if you are the alpha-omega normie that will work, or you don't give a single fuck about personal relationships (which would go against the rest of the book, so far)
Then again I'm only half way through the book. But so far all the examples have been avoiding the fact that you need to be fake in order to receive what you need from others. Like the example in the book I thought it was finally going to address, was that the guy's boss didn't like him. Instead of bringing up the point that the boss is the one paying him, he says that the problem with the boss not liking him is that he can't get his work done, which is then rightfully pointed out as being no more a piss poor excuse for not doing your work. That's obviously not the issue with your boss not liking you, the issue is he will be more likely to fire you, or more likely to not promote you.

But like I said, just about only half way done, maybe Alfred Adler will stop living in lala land by the end.

Huh, so that's what I thought about it while I was reading, strange cause I felt like I had a lot of outside for it after I finished, I was actually thinking about the book recently, as in just like an hour ago I was looking up Adler. Quite the coincidence to happen upon this thread randomly, I just wanted to test out this name. I mean I still don't think what I said here is wrong but I guess by the end of the book the belief is that your will have a more enriching life being real instead of Fame even if it keeps to stuff like your boss hating your and firing you. Because your have to have faith in people, though the book says your bed to do it regardless of people expenses or what you expect. I can't follow that, and don't really believe that though I admit it probably works for others.
