What Life Should Mean To You Paperback – November 8, 2010

Straightforward, easy to understand and apply self-discovery book. Great for understanding and gaining empathy for others as well.Don’t get it if you can’t stand being called out and take everything personally—especially if you don’t want to make progress in life by noticing toxic behaviors for what they are

Greet book

This is a low-quality self-published book, with terrible pagination, misplaced titles, orphan lines, empty blocks on the page, etc. And contrary to what the “Read sample” on Amazon tells you, there is no index at the end of the book. I found the book annoying and am throwing it to the garbage. The publisher must be either an amateur lacking publishing skills, or somebody who wanted to make a easy profit without bothering to proofread the text.It is a shame that such a wonderful text by Alfred Adler received this disrespectful treatment.

Ive become such a fan of Alfred Adler. These formative clinicians were deeply philosophical - something that I believe is missing in the field today, which seems to be obsessed with specific "approaches" and modalities to the therapeutic process. Following recipes, not inventing them. Adler, freud and Jung (among others) were chefs, and their creative way paved the road for the millions of therpists who are content to blindly follow in their foot steps. This is what I see in the field today. A lack of creative initiative.Instead, clinicians should read this material and be reminded of how the axioms in our field came to be; bright, philosophical and socially interested minds, using experimentation and trial and error to come up with the best approaches to therapy.Adler in this incredible work candidly articulates this thoughts on a series of vital topics which have been instrumental to my work as a clincian and myself as a human being. I display this work proudly in my office and reference it often. Please read this book.

Great literature from Adler. I’m very interested in reading more from him soon.

Use this all the freaking time. I love Adler.

So far, I love this book. I would recommend more mental health workers and anyone who wants to learn about human behavior to read more Adler. His writing is almost poetic and easy to read. I’ve had a hard time putting it down since I picked it up. The pages are thick and the spine appears to be sturdy. My only qualm with the book is the print itself. There’s a big margin around the text and some pages have ink splotches. It is also missing the last three chapters of the book.

poor translation, and the print is difficult to read.do not recommend it. The other publication is much better.Would never buy this again, in fact, would like to send it back to publisher.
