'The Courage to be Disliked' by Ichiro Kishimi….Translated into Arabic

The Arab Culture Center has recently released an Arabic translation of "The Courage to be Disliked," a book by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga.

The book, translated by Mustapha Al Waruajily, revolves around human development, and how a person should act in his life, regardless of what people think of him.

To achieve success, a human being needs courage.

"Under a provocative title that contradicts with everything we have learned since our childhood, this valuable, easy-to-understand, deep book explains how we can unleash the power we have inside to become the person of our dreams, with no regard to others' opinion or admiration," the publisher writes in the introduction.

"Based on Alfred Adler's theories and philosophy on courage, the two authors created an exciting dialogue between a young man and a philosopher, during which the latter explains to his student how each one of us can decide the path of his life, without being hindered by past experiences, and others' expectations," the publisher added.

"It's a thinking method that liberates us from the depths, allows us to have the courage of change, and to ignore the restricting boundaries we and the people surrounding us create."

Japanese Crown Prince Akishino and his wife, Crown Princess Kiko, who are the honorary presidents of Expo 2025 Osaka, visited the Saudi Pavilion participating in the global event, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Tuesday.

Saudi Ambassador to Japan and Commissioner General of the Saudi Arabia Pavilion Ghazi Binzagr welcomed the Crown Prince and Princess of Japan upon their arrival. He commended the visit, saying it highlights the deep, historical, and friendly relations between Saudi Arabia and Japan. He emphasized the pivotal role of the expo in fostering human connection and dialogue among nations.

The ambassador briefed the Japanese Crown Prince and Princess on the pavilion's components, including a model for Expo 2030 Riyadh. They viewed creative elements reflecting Saudi cultural identity and future aspirations and received commemorative gifts inspired by the heritage of AlUla, which features the first Saudi site to be included on the UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage List.

Saudi-Japanese relations have seen rapid development over the past decades. In 1981, Saudi Arabia witnessed the first visit from the Japanese Imperial House, followed by another visit in 1994.

In 2017, the Saudi-Japan Vision 2030 initiative came to light, yielding over 80 joint projects across various fields, including renewable energy, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and healthcare, thereby strengthening the two countries' strategic partnership.

The visit by the Crown Prince and Princess of Japan to the pavilion is part of their participation in the official Japan Day ceremony at Expo 2025 Osaka. It coincides with the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Japan, which falls on June 7, 2025. This historic occasion represents a significant milestone in the ongoing partnership based on mutual respect, cultural exchange, and constructive diplomatic cooperation.
