It’s worth reading in my opinion. The title is *somewhat* misleading; it’s not really a guide to being unpleasant! It’s a dialogue between a Japanese philosopher and a student around personal fulfilment. Some of it you’ll find interesting, some of it won’t stick.

I’m a good bit into it.
If you can look past the potential awkwardness of the Socratic debate format, be able to see past the surface meaning of things like “trauma does not exist”, and are interested in Adlerian psychology, the book has some really valuable lessons.
