conversations.value: The Courage to Be Happy
  The youth rebelled against this stream of radical statements again and again. On encountering Adler's idea of 'community feeling', however, he came to accept the philosopher's words and resolved to change himself.
  In what way should we walk the path to happiness revealed in the preceding volume? Is Adler's thought, which sounds like pure idealism, really a practicable philosophy? And what is the biggest choice in life that Adler arrived at?
  This is the conclusion of a two-part work exploring the essence of Alfred Adler and his psychology of courage. Please ascertain for yourself, together with the youth who doubted and revolted against Adler, the true shape of the courage we need.
  YOUTH: You're asking why I have come to visit this study again? Well, unfortunately, I'm not here just to hang out and renew an old friendship. I'm sure you are busy, and my situation, too, is that I have little time for such things. So, naturally, there is a pressing issue that has brought me here again.
  YOUTH: I have thought things over. I have worried and obsessed over it all more than is necessary and thought it all completely through. In doing so, I arrived at a very serious resolution and decided to come here to convey it to you. I know you have much to do, so please give me your time for just this one evening. Because this will probably be my final visit.

conversations.value: PHILOSOPHER: You are wrong. Unfortunately, if they proceed in that direction, they will not be able to realise their true worth.
  PHILOSOPHER: There is no end to approval. So, they get praised and approved by others. As a result, they might find some fleeting realisation of their own worth. Any joyful feeling thus gained, however, will be nothing more than something granted from outside them. They will be no different from clockwork dolls that do not move unless another person winds them up.
  PHILOSOPHER: The person who is capable of feeling truly happy only upon being praised will seek to get praised more until the very last moment of their lives. Such a person, having been left in a position of dependence, will lead a life of ceaseless seeking, a life without fulfilment.
  PHILOSOPHER: Having another person decide the worth of 'me'—that is dependence. Or, determining the worth of 'me' oneself—which is called self-reliance. If one were to ask which choice leads to a happy life, the answer should be clear. Your worth is not decided by someone else.
  YOUTH: That's impossible! We don't have confidence in ourselves, and that's exactly why we need approval from others!

conversations.value: One of Adler's greatest achievements was the establishment of numerous child guidance clinics, the first in the world in public schools, under the aegis of the city of Vienna.
  Furthermore, he used these child guidance clinics not only for providing treatment to children and their parents, but as places for training teachers, doctors and counsellors. In essence, it was from there that Adlerian psychology spread, from its start in schools, to the world.
  No, he did not. As is evident from his characterisation of counselling as 're-education', for Adler, all people living in a community were engaged with education, and all people were in the position of receiving education. I, too, having first encountered Adler through childrearing, have actually gained a great deal of human knowledge from children. Of course, you too must be both an educator and a student.
  Regarding his psychology, Adler stated: 'Understanding a human being is no easy matter. Of all the forms of psychology, individual psychology is probably the most difficult to learn and put into practice.'
  And though one may have gathered one's courage and taken the first step, it won't do if one stops there. Take the next step and then the next step after that. That accumulation of endless single steps is what we call walking.
