Finished Reading: The Courage To Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi 📚
I am still thinking about this one so I’m not sure I have too much to share. I think I read this at the right time to have it resonate with me.
The idea of ‘tasks’ and looking after your own tasks, and not interfering with other people’s tasks, is what has stuck with me immediately. I’m probably taking it too literally but actually I think it’s helping me to feel less stressed at work. Who is going to feel the impact if this thing isn’t the way it should be? Is it something I can actually do anything about? Or is it someone else’s business and I’m trying to ‘help’? I worry that that line of thinking might make me a more selfish person, but I suppose that’s part of the problem with being a people pleaser, and part of the challenge of addressing that.
