During the first few chapters, I was ready to stop listening without finishing and giving it a 2-star rating, like the whiny student in the book. 

I decided to share some of the philosophical theories of Alfred Adler with my partner who loves philosophy. We started listening to some of it together and he helped reframe some of the arguments I was struggling with. It started to make more sense and, by the end, I felt I had new and fascinating perspectives. 

These ideas were laid out in an interview-dialogue style between a philosopher and his student, similar to Sophie’s World. (This book keeps coming up for me lately.)
