The book "Inferiority and Transcendence" actually requires a certain psychological background to truly read, especially the background of the psychoanalytic school. After all, Adler and Jung both have an inseparable relationship with their ancestor Freud. There may have been relatively few empirical studies in psychology at that time, and more were based on analytical model hypotheses, which can be compared to Hawking's theoretical model of the universe.

Inferiority drives human progress, but it also makes some people unable to recover. What's the difference? What I’m sharing today is “Inferiority and Transcendence”, the English name is “What Life Should Mean To You”, which is the work of Adler, the founder of individual psychology.

When I read this book before, I only had a superficial understanding of it. I was more brainwashed by marketing, and I didn’t even finish the book. It wasn't until I came into contact with psychology and Adler that I gradually realized the real power of this book. Before understanding the individual psychology he advocated, let us start with a question.

"What does life mean to you?" To know a person's answer to this question, you don't even need to ask, you only need to observe his lifestyle. For example.

1. What is the reason why a person chooses a major.

2. Why did this person choose this partner?

3. Faced with offers from three companies, how would this person screen them? The answer lies in the way he lives his life. A person's lifestyle represents his interpretation of life, and we first learned this interpretation from our mother.
