The Courage to be Happy

Kishimi's approach feels deeply rooted in philosophical dialogue. I'm curious what personal experiences or ideas led him to write this book and how he chose the concepts to focus on.

The book emphasizes that happiness is within our control, which is inspiring but also made me wonder if that overlooks external factors. Would love to hear how others interpret this idea.

This one feels very philosophical and conversational, but I wonder how it stacks up against more practical or action-oriented self-help books. Has anyone tried applying these ideas in real life?
