Part 2/7:
The Psychology Behind Unhappiness
Kishimi and Koga argue that internal worries and unhappiness are never purely personal; they are inextricably linked to our relationships and perceptions of others. They posit that life's complexities arise from our subjective outlooks, which can be radically simplified by embracing the courage to be disliked.
According to the authors, every individual's ability to experience happiness is not determined by personality traits but rather by the choices one makes in setting goals. They emphasize that our goals not only guide our actions but also have a significant impact on our emotional well-being.
