Follow your heart but take your brain with you.
Alfred Adler
Image

Alfred Adler

All failures - neurotics, psychotics, criminals, drunkards, problem children, suicides, perverts, and prostitutes - are failures because they are lacking in social interest
Alfred Adler
Image

Alfred Adler

Follow your heart always, and remember to take your head along with you.
Alfred Adler
Image

Alfred Adler

Far more unwaveringly, the neurotic keeps before his eye his God, his idol, his ideal of personality and clings to his guiding principle, losing sight in the meanwhile of reality, whereas the normal person is always ready to dispense with this crutch, this aid, and reckon unhampered with reality.
Alfred Adler
Image
The style of life is a unity because it has grown out of the difficulties of early life and out of the striving for a goal.
Alfred Adler
Image
The only normal people are the ones you don't know very well.
Alfred Adler
Image
To be a human being means to possess a feeling of inferiority which constantly presses towards its own conquest. The greater the feeling of inferiority that has been experienced, the more powerful is the urge for conquest and the more violent the emotional agitation.
Alfred Adler
Image
The test of one's behavior pattern is their relationship to society, relationship to work and relationship to sex.
Alfred Adler
Image
The feeling of inferiority rules the mental life and can be clearly recognized in the sense of incompleteness and unfulfillment, and in the uninterrupted struggle both of individuals and humanity.
Alfred Adler
Image
You can be healed of depression if every day you begin the first thing in the morning to consider how you will bring a real joy to someone else.
Alfred Adler
Image
It is one of the triumphs of human wit ... to conquer by humility and submissiveness ... to make oneself small in order to appear great ... such ... are often the expedients of the neurotic.
Alfred Adler
Image
To see with the eyes of another, to hear with the ears of another, to feel with the heart of another. For the time being, this seems to me an admissible definition of what we call social feeling.
