Alfred Adler: Courage, Community, and the Whole Person | A Sleep Story from the Pioneers
Season 1
Episode 2
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
A calm, carefully researched bedtime biography of Alfred Adler — the Viennese physician and psychotherapist who developed Individual Psychology and explored how feelings of inferiority, compensation, purpose, belonging and community shape human life.
Tonight’s story follows Adler from his childhood on the outskirts of Vienna and his early career as a doctor, through his years alongside Sigmund Freud and their eventual break, to the development of his own approach to psychology, his work with children and families, and his later years travelling, lecturing and teaching.
Along the way, we explore some of Adler’s most influential ideas: feelings of inferiority, compensation, the style of life, social interest, encouragement, belonging, purpose and his view of the person as a whole.
Told slowly and gently for sleep, relaxation and quiet late-night listening. There is nothing you need to remember and nowhere you need to get to. Simply close your eyes, settle in, and let the story carry you.
Sleep Stories from the Pioneers is a series of calm, research-led journeys through the lives and ideas of the people who changed how we understand ourselves.
