The Courage to Be Disliked

A conversation between a young man and an old man answers the age-old question: How can one be happy? Noah Galvin and Graham Malcolm create an engaging conversation as they narrate the parts of the younger and older man, respectively. Speaking as the young man, Galvin's youthful voice projects confusion, disbelief, indignation, and even anger at the audacious theories put before him by the old man. As delivered by Malcolm, the old man's voice exudes patience, wisdom, and calm. The commentary, based on psychologist Alfred Adler's philosophy, can be complex at times, but the narrators' clear articulation and steady pacing help reinforce the concept that we are in charge of our own happiness. Narrator January LaVoy introduces the principles of this audiobook with a delightful persuasiveness that contributes to its overall sense of wisdom and enlightenment.
