FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE COURAGE TO BE DISLIKED The day you stop trying to be special is the day you start living for yourself—free of the agonies of comparison, and more confident than ever. Is it any wonder we all want to be special? We're taught that a meaningful life requires us to pursue greatness, to set ourselves apart. But beneath this universal desire to be extraordinary lies a constant, anxious comparison with others, which always keeps our true happiness just out of reach. How, then, can we free ourselves from this cycle of restless competition and find a new way to thrive? In his inspiring new book, psychologist and philosopher Ichiro Kishimi explores a way of living that will free you from your unease, improve your confidence, and help you live a happy life. Rejecting both an endless striving to be special and a cynical resignation to remain the same, Kishimi instead offers us a revolutionary third path, revealing how to free yourself from the cycle of comparison and enjoy the full benefits of radical acceptance. The Courage to Be Ordinary shows you: how birth order and parental influence affects your life long after you leave the home, how to approach your life and work with confidence, and how to tune into your true calling and channel the internal motivation you need to thrive. People-pleasing and the pressure to be extraordinary leads many people to live a life that looks the same from the outside. This book is your map to accept who you are, giving you the power you need to succeed in work and life.
