Women’s Growth Circle: Book Club – The Courage to Be Disliked

Details

Join us for an evening of connection and growth as we dive into The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga. This international bestseller presents a transformative dialogue between a philosopher and a skeptical young man, based on the principles of Alfred Adler, a pioneer of individual psychology. Through their conversations, the book dismantles the idea that our past defines us, arguing instead that we are not determined by experiences but by the meaning we give them.
One of the book’s most powerful messages is that “all problems are interpersonal relationship problems.” It invites readers to examine how often we seek approval from others at the expense of our own freedom and shows us how to break free from that cycle. Whether it’s fear of being disliked, unresolved childhood pain, or the pressure to meet external expectations, this book offers liberating tools to reclaim our lives and live with courage and clarity.

Our women’s group is dedicated to supporting each other emotionally, whether in business, personal development, or everyday life. Through meaningful conversation, we’ll explore the book’s themes and how they can help us grow and uplift one another in a safe, supportive space.

After book club we typically go out after to enjoy some socializing and fun time together. It has become part of the process.

Our book club is OPEN to ALL women not just in tech.
