Inferiority and compensation for inferiority are the driving force for individual development and human progress, dominating various manifestations in human infancy, childhood, adolescence, work, love and social interaction. Moreover, it seems that all human civilizations are based on the feeling of inferiority, which is also the driving force for human beings to constantly surpass themselves. This book is the general outline of Adler's ideological system.

This book has benefited me a lot. It made me understand that low self-esteem is not terrible, it can be the driving force for us to move forward. The cases in the book are very close to life, allowing me to find my own shadow in them. Adler tells us to understand ourselves correctly, find our own advantages, and constantly surpass ourselves through hard work. Not only does this make us stronger, it also helps us build better relationships.

It's very good, it just feels very systematic, with a unified main line, and cooperation can lead to win-win results. I was reflecting on myself while reading, and it gave me a clearer understanding of some things about myself. The cases were very pertinent, and it also made me understand that I seemed to have been in some situations when I was a child, and how to do it. Not escaping is the bottom line, and then muster up the courage to face it and defeat it. Don't be afraid of difficulties, do it step by step, and finally achieve your goal. Is this transcendence? I will no longer feel inferior, this book is really well written. After reading the views on marriage and love in Chapter 12, I am a little scared. I will try my best to customer service. Men have simple actions and need to be more proactive. Women's actions and hints are more complex. If they are sincere, they can be felt. This is also called sexual attraction, hahahaha. Come on, become a better version of yourself, take on your own responsibilities, and be like your dad. Whee
