Inferiority and Transcendence

This book is a representative work of Adler's individual psychology. It contains his experience of changing his destiny by transcending himself, as well as his thoughts on the meaning of his life. Adler had been frail and sickly since he was a child, was very short, had two car accidents, and was at the bottom of his class, so he had a very low self-esteem. But such a child with poor foundation and low self-esteem actually fought back and finally got admitted to the University of Vienna for a doctorate in medicine, realizing his dream. He was also appreciated by the most famous psychologists in the world, became a master of psychology, and eventually founded a new school of psychology. Starting from the core concept of "inferiority complex", Adler selected cases from multiple fields such as family relationships, school education, career choice, etc., Introduced the basic views of individual psychology, elaborated on his understanding of the meaning of life and personal value, and gave many practical suggestions.
