The harshness of Adlerian psychology comes out very quickly. Everything that is going wrong is your fault and it is that way because you choose to interpret it as a negative. #fault #harsh #interpretation Taken from my review of 'The Courage To Be Disliked' by Ichiro Kishimi & Fumitake Koga.

Will TV be the death of us? 'Amusing Ourselves To Death' by Neil Postman is an argument of why television as a medium lessens rational discourse and ultimately is a bad trade-off for society. The first part focuses on the past, in particular how typography is serious and encourages critical thinking. The second part demonstrates how TV is predominantly about entertainment and is negatively effecting politics, education, religion and advertising. I summarised the book as follows. "I loved this, but it's only for certain types of people. If you are fascinated by communication & languages, marketing & media or how society is impacted by change then you will like this. You'll also need a broad base to begin with as he covers many historical topics and references a lot of things." I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!
