The Courage to Be Disliked: How to Free Yourself, Change your Life and Achieve Real Happiness by Ichiro Kishimi, Fumitake Koga

Victim blaming. “Trauma does not exist” “People CHOOSE to be unhappy”.
You're lacking in the courage to be happy.
This book is an outdated bunch of b.s.

Ok story. The narrator was meant to be very emotional which some might like, but I found her wildly whiney. Like listening to someone cry and scream for hours. It was too much. The story could have been cut down a little without repeats of the same "clues" throughout and would have felt a lot nicer for readers.
