PHILOSOPHER: Sit down. As things stand, it’s only natural that our views clash.
I will now give a simple explanation as to the manner in which humans are understood in Adlerian psychology.
YOUTH: Okay, but please be brief. PHILOSOPHER: Earlier you said that any person’s disposition or personality cannot be changed.
In Adlerian psychology, we describe personality and disposition with the word “lifestyle.”
YOUTH: Lifestyle? PHILOSOPHER: Yes. Lifestyle is the tendencies of thought and action in life.
YOUTH: Tendencies of thought and action? PHILOSOPHER: How one sees the world. And how one sees oneself.
Think of lifestyle as a concept bringing together these ways of finding meaning.
In a narrow sense, lifestyle could be defined as someone’s personality;
taken more broadly, it is a word that encompasses the worldview of that person and his or her outlook on life.
YOUTH: A person’s view of the world? PHILOSOPHER: Say there’s someone who worries about himself and says, “I am a pessimist.”
One could rephrase that to instead say, “I have a pessimistic view of the world.”
You could consider that the issue is not personality but rather the view of the world.
