One of those books that I think will actually have an influence on how I perceive the world around me. I'd never heard about Adlerian psychology before and if you have neither and find the thought of becoming a happy human being intriguing, give this book a try. In the beginning I was kind of annoyed by that cliché setup of Youth vs Philosopher. After a while though I began to really appreciate it when I found myself constantly questioning a huge part of the philosopher's statements. In 95% the Youth would actually dispute this exact conclusion. Maybe I'm just very mainstream - but I really enjoyed reading especially because of this. This book is an easy read: It's split up into five sections (the times the Youth visits the Philosopher) which are segmented into bite sized chapters. The language is rather simple: most of the topics are explained by using metaphors and every day examples.
