The Forty Rules of Love

True happiness isn’t about impressing others _it’s about contributing to something meaningful.Quote: “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” — Mahatma Gandhi

Happiness Comes from Being Useful

Your past doesn’t control your future. You are not a prisoner of your experiences—you are the creator of your life. Quote: “Though nobody can go back and make a new beginning, anyone can start over and make a new ending.” — Chico Xavier

The Past Does Not Define You

Most of our struggles come from relationships. Learn to separate your tasks from others’ expectations. Quote: “When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.” — Donald Miller

Interpersonal Relationships Are Key

If you chase validation, you’ll never be free. The courage to be disliked is the courage to be truly yourself. Quote: “Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.” — Lao Tzu

Live for Yourself, Not for Approval

Happiness is not something we earn—it’s a mindset we choose every day. Quote: “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” — Aristotle

You Can Choose to Be Happy Now

❝ What if you could free yourself from the need for approval? ❞
This book teaches us how to live on our own terms, without fear of judgment.

A single book can change your life. Already an enormous bestseller in Asia, with more than 3 million copies sold, The Courage to be Disliked demonstrates how to unlock the power within yourself to be the person you truly want to be. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of 19th century psychology alongside Freud and Jung, it follows an illuminating conversation between a philosopher and a young man. The philosopher explains to his pupil how each of us is able to determine our own lives, free of the shackles of past experiences, doubts and the expectations of others. It's a way of thinking that's deeply liberating, allowing us to develop the courage to change, and to ignore the limitations that we and those around us can place on ourselves. The result is a book that is both highly accessible and profound in its importance. Millions have already read and benefited from its wisdom. Now that The Courage to be Disliked has been published for the first time in English, so can you

Fumitake Koga

The Courage to Be Disliked

Behind every beautiful thing, there's some kind of pain.

There is nothing so stable as change.

All I can do is be me, whoever that is.

People seldom do what they believe in. They do what is convenient, then repent.

I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours.

He not busy being born is busy dying.

Inspiration is hard to come by. You have to take it where you find it.

I accept chaos, I'm not sure whether it accepts me.

All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie.

Democracy don't rule the world, You'd better get that in your head; This world is ruled by violence, But I guess that's better left unsaid.

A mistake is to commit a misunderstanding.

All this talk about equality. The only thing people really have in common is that they are all going to die.

You're going to die. You're going to be dead. It could be 20 years, it could be tomorrow, anytime. So am I. I mean, we're just going to be gone. The world's going to go on without us. All right now. You do your job in the face of that, and how seriously you take yourself you decide for yourself.

I kinda live where I find myself.

I change during the course of a day. I wake and I'm one person, and when I go to sleep I know for certain I'm somebody else.

Chaos is a friend of mine.

Money doesn't talk, it swears.

Some people feel the rain,Others just get wet.

Don't matter how much money you got, there's only two kinds of people: there's saved people and there's lost people.

Here's the thing with me and the religious thing. This is the flat-out truth: I find the religiosity and philosophy in the music. I don't find it anywhere else.

In a riveting narrative, award-winning journalist and often-injured runner Christopher McDougall sets out to discover their secrets. In the process, he takes his readers from science labs at Harvard to the sun-baked valleys and freezing peaks across North America, where ever-growing numbers of ultra-runners are pushing their bodies to the limit, and, finally, to a climactic race in the Copper Canyons that pits America’s best ultra-runners against the tribe. McDougall’s incredible story will not only engage your mind but inspire your body when you realize that you, indeed all of us, were born to run. Look for Born to Run 2, coming in December!

Christopher McDougall

Born to Run

"The only real battle in life is between hanging on and letting go."

"Change is never easy, but always possible."

"Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny."

"You can't possibly embrace that new relationship, new companion, new career, new friendship, or new life, when you’re hanging on to the baggage of the past."

"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."

"Every day is a new day, and you’ll never be able to find happiness if you don’t move on."

"Forget what hurt you but never forget what it taught you."

"Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose."

"Letting go does not mean you stop caring. It means you stop trying to force others to."

"It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it."

"Let go and allow yourself to be flooded with love. You can let go of the pattern now that you truly understand that you're no longer a victim."

"Know that everything is in perfect order whether you understand it or not."

"Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness."

"Letting go is the willingness to change your beliefs in order to bring more peace and joy into your life instead of holding onto beliefs that bring pain and suffering."

"Life is about change. Sometimes it’s painful. Sometimes it’s beautiful. But most of the time, it’s both."

Final Thoughts: Master Your Mind, Master Your Life

THIS little self-help volume (the result of meditation and experience) is not intended as an exhaustive treatise on the much-written-upon subject of the power of thought. It is suggestive rather than explanatory, its object being to stimulate men and women to the discovery and perception of the truth that-- "They themselves are makers of themselves." By virtue of the thoughts, which they choose and encourage; that mind is the master-weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance, and that, as they may have hitherto woven in ignorance and pain they may now weave in enlightenment and happiness.

As she puts it, yoga offered her a ladder and she began to climb. In this empowering and accessible guide, Acosta leads readers through the essential spiritual practices she uses to create a radically loved life. With the arc of her own journey as a framework, she presents meditations, journaling questions, and practices for identifying and honoring our own radical truths. With grit and grace, this heart-filled guide makes spiritual practice accessible to everyone and helps you become the person you are truly meant to be.
