Inferiority and Transcendence

It is rich in knowledge, and the way of expression in the book is very rigorous and simple, much like a textbook. This is probably why so few people read it. Reading more of this kind of book can really increase your knowledge and observe people in detail. However, boring is inevitable, and it cannot gain a lot of popularity at once like Shuangwen. I read that this book was still influenced by "The End of Ten Days". I wanted to learn from Qi Xia's understanding of human character traits, and I found that I was also changing. I used to like cool articles about the apocalypse, such as "I Built a Safe House" and "Slaying Gods", but now I prefer boring but rich knowledge books, and I really learned something from the book. Everyone's reading habits are different. It is human nature that boring books are not read. There is no need to read them hard. The most important thing is to find books that suit you according to your interests and hobbies. Interest is the best teacher, it will lead you out of your own book path.

This book resonated with me because it mentioned that everyone has an inferiority complex, which is what drives us to pursue a sense of superiority. Adler also said that the meaning of life is to constantly surpass oneself. This reminds me of a friend of mine who had a low self-esteem since he was a child, but through his own efforts, he has become very good now. This book not only helps us understand ourselves, but also helps us get along better with others. I recommend everyone to read it!

It's hard to imagine that this was a person from a hundred years ago whose thoughts were even beyond modern times. As a disabled person, Adler overcame his inferiority complex, gained a lot from his shortcomings, and even enriched the human mind.

It's deeply touching and uses vivid examples to make people think deeply. An unfortunate life leads to two wrong strategies in people's low self-esteem behavior, which leads to a fragmented life. In line with the old Chinese saying: "Poor people must be hateful, and hateful people must suffer sadly."

Reading Adler and psychology is never some mysterious self-healing. It is essentially a process of self-review, self-overthrow, and self-correction. Since childhood, we have had many deep-rooted ideas in our minds, perspectives on things, personality in dealing with others, and low self-esteem and sensitivity hidden deep in our bones. These are not innate. It was all formed bit by bit when we were young and had no one to guide us, no one to teach us, no one to help us sort out things. In ignorance, we slowly groped and hit the wall randomly. There are too many childish prejudices, misplaced perceptions, obsessions accumulated from grievances, and fallacies that were trapped in the heart because no one enlightened them back then. When we were young, we relied on our parents to correct us on right and wrong, three views, words and deeds; After going to school, we rely on teachers to guide and correct our vision, cognition, and propriety in doing things. But if in childhood, your parents failed to guide you patiently, failed to catch your emotions, and failed to help you sort out your knots; As you grow up, no one teaches you how to get along with yourself, how to reconcile the past, or how to face your inferiority complex and regrets. Those deviations that have not been corrected in time, the worries that have not been solved, and the wounds that have not been healed will remain in your bones and grow with you. When you become an adult, you can only be the one to correct yourself, enlighten yourself, and reshape yourself. When we look back and re-read the past, we dismantle our own character, see through the roots behind our actions, overthrow our past wrong obsessions, correct our distorted perceptions bit by bit, and slowly bring ourselves back on track when we went off track in the past. Human life is inherently a never-ending process of self-correction. When you are a child, you are corrected by others, but when you grow up, you correct yourself; In the future, in an intimate relationship, your partner will adjust and correct each other; When I become a parent, I will reflect on myself and continue to make corrections when it comes to my children. No one is ever the same, and no one is born completely transparent and perfect. Throughout our lives, we have been overthrowing our old selves, repairing past regrets, correcting our former narrow-mindedness and paranoia, and slowly becoming sober, peaceful, and self-consistent. The so-called growth is never about rushing forward all the way. But while looking back at the past, correcting myself, and slowly being reborn. We spend our entire lives making peace with our past selves, improving ourselves throughout our lives, and walking on the road to getting better, and we never really stop.

The analysis of neurotic problems in the book is appropriate and pertinent. Different from the psychology books I have seen in the past, the author does not sympathize with or try to make people understand and treat people with neurotic problems. Instead, he uses theory and cases to analyze the causes of different problems and the goals that neurotics want to achieve. The author starts from the meaning of life, leads to three major problems that individuals need to solve, and emphasizes that individuals should establish good cooperation with society and others. His explanations and analysis of different people's problems in the book are enlightening. Overall, well worth watching.

This book is written very simply but the principles it teaches are not superficial at all. It is worth reading and practicing again and again. At the same time, this book explained the puzzles in my life. I was surprised to find that my experience in the criminal psychology part is almost completely consistent with the psychology I formed. Reading this book can be regarded as an inadvertent self-reminder, allowing me to have a new perspective on myself and the problems I encounter.

I finished reading it on October 12, 2024. I have been exposed to this book for a long time and read it intermittently. I don't know what other people think of Adler's individual psychology. But I agree with his point of view. In the process of evolution, humans have become more and more powerful because of cooperation. In order for humanity to flourish and gain the support of group power, we must learn to cooperate with others. Some may think Adler's ideas are a bit too idealistic. We cannot ignore the selfish nature of man. It is true that human selfishness leads to fighting among ourselves. At this time, strength becomes what people yearn for. Because being strong can fully protect the rights and interests of individuals. However, imagine if you were in a world where everyone cooperated with each other, provided help to each other, and rescued relatively vulnerable groups, and everyone had a clear division of labor in society and tried their best to do their part. Everyone's existence is meaningful to mankind, and his career can be inherited by future generations. This is not only personal transcendence, but also beneficial to the common progress of mankind. Isn't it a good thing?

A point of view that I have thought about but not deeply thought about. From childhood memories to feelings of inferiority and superiority, a person's ability to grow into a person more suitable for today's society requires influence from childhood to adulthood. In fact, I originally wanted to solve my own problem, so I read this book. I always felt that I was not confident enough. I originally thought that this book would give a few short sentences and attach various examples like those previous books. I did not expect that it would be an analysis. As I read it, I suddenly realized that this book might be about theory. But there are still a lot of gains, and there will always be some gains when you come into contact with new things.

The theory is explained in a simple and easy-to-understand way. The writing style is very simple and easy to read. What impressed me deeply is the role of cooperation, early memory and the analysis of three issues. It talks about the essence behind the emergence of many phenomena in society. It writes about individuals, collectives, countries and even planets. The framework is very clear and the ideas are clear.

Alfred Adler, every book about the author can give me a lot of experience, and this book "Inferiority and Transcendence" has benefited me a lot. The author gives us detailed explanations on every aspect of life, and gives readers good suggestions at every stage of life, so that readers can use the author's point of view combined with their own experiences to generate positive opinions that suit themselves.

After reading this book for the second time, I feel that the biggest problem for people with psychological problems is lack of cooperation. The inferiority complex arises when they feel that their own value is not better reflected in life cooperation.

Cooperation can solve 90% of the problems in life, but the ability to cooperate needs to be cultivated

The book is okay, but from where I read it, Adler emphasized his teleology many times. In fact, it is not uncommon for a psychologist to focus on a certain theme in a certain book, but I have to say that Adler's teleology is still too biased. For example, severe stress and anxiety may cause gastric spasms, but gastric spasms are more the result of a neurological disorder than the patient's conscious or unconscious behavior to achieve a certain purpose. Including anxiety and compulsion, of course, there will be people who are self-pitying. When they find that these symptoms and behaviors can attract attention and receive care and attention from others, they will intentionally or unintentionally strengthen certain behaviors and thoughts, but this is not the center of these psychological phenomena and physical conditions. Of course, this is definitely much better than Freud. Although Freud was the founder of psychoanalysis, I think that he had such a great influence not because of how brilliant his theory was, but because he was "the true grandfather and first person of psychoanalysis" and his theory did have groundbreaking content, and it was also limited by the times.

What surprised me about this book was the idea of ​​win-win cooperation and the spirit of contribution that a European psychologist embodied throughout the book. This book covers almost all relationships and problems a person may encounter in society, making people feel warm, relaxed and powerful.

A great book, "Inferiority and Transcendence". Everyone has experienced inferiority complex, but this book will tell you how to "transcend" and overcome inferiority complex. I hope you will become a better person after reading this book.

Recommended reading list, the author's views are wonderful, and many theories are still applicable to this day. It analyzes the deep-rooted problems of human society, and opens up a different perspective for us to view society, the world, and human nature. However, due to the limitations of the times, women may feel a little restrained and offended when reading this book. They can feel the fierce collision between the author's advanced thoughts and his secular concepts, but I think this just proves that the forefront of human thoughts is constantly developing.

You know what it is, and you know why it is so. "Inferiority and Transcendence" is a good book worthy of in-depth understanding and reading. From the book, you can understand yourself and others, and then prepare to meet a better version of yourself [Blow kiss]

Clearly understand how you generate these emotions, and that the various factors are not caused at the beginning, but are composed of your own thoughts and experiences. What you imagine the world to be like is what it will be like, not your past and future. Depend on your current experience and decision. It just depends on whether you will solve the problem when you face those emotional difficulties instead of being troubled by that problem, and solve the problem instead of being trapped in the problem.

It's good to read. I'm depressed. I read the book slowly. There are many chapters in it.

After reading it, some of the author's views really touched me, but it seems that the problem has not been solved yet. Maybe it is because I have too little experience or because I have read too few books. I will leave this question to be answered later.

This book provided me with another way of thinking about solving life problems and made me aware of my wrong lifestyle in the past and the pain it caused. These painful cycles prevent us from loving the world we live in, from building healthy relationships with those around us, from thinking that we are alone, that the world is hostile to us, that there is either right or wrong.

Different from the general discussions in other such books, this book scientifically analyzes the underlying causes of various human minds and behaviors. Just reading the first chapter makes me feel that it is deep and meaningful. After reading it, it will make people think deeply and benefit a lot from it.

Reading "Inferiority and Transcendence", I was deeply touched. Adler pointed out that low self-esteem is an opportunity for growth, which made me understand that if I accept my shortcomings and use social cooperation to break through, my life will be full of hope.

It talks about two sources of inferiority complex and their solutions. One is oneself and the other is others and society.

After reading the first chapter, I thought that the meaning of life in "Cognition Driven" is to be altruistic, to do something useful to others, and to take this as a mission. It is the same approach, but the author thinks more deeply from the perspective of society, career and sex, and I am very inspired.

A very good book, individual psychological analysis and methods of youth education
