Synopsis

"Inferiority and Transcendence", as Adler's later work, more systematically reflects his basic views on individual psychology. The book is divided into twelve chapters, discussing twelve themes respectively, namely, the meaning of life, mind and body, inferiority complex and superiority complex, early memory, dreams, family influence, school influence, adolescence, crime and its prevention, career, human beings and companions, and love and marriage. Focusing on these themes, he focused on the formation of inferiority complex and its impact on personal growth, how individuals can transcend inferiority complex, and how to transform inferiority complex into the appropriate pursuit of superiority to achieve achievements. "Inferiority and Transcendence" is one of Adler's best-selling works and has been reprinted over the years. The latest edition was reprinted in 2010.

Reader comments

This book is really good! Adler described the formation and impact of inferiority complex in the book, which gave me a deeper understanding of my own heart. I especially liked his insights on love and marriage, which helped me understand what a healthy intimate relationship looks like. Adler was like a dear friend, guiding me with his wisdom and experience. Overall, "Inferiority and Transcendence" is a book worth reading again and again.

Some people don't understand it, but cooperation is necessary. I used to be selfish, but now I have to learn to cooperate, which means nothing to me personally.
