From the 15 million-copy bestselling author of The Courage to Be Disliked
Break the Cycle of Burnout. Choose Ordinary.
Are you exhausted from trying to be exceptional?
In The Courage to be Ordinary, Ichiro Kishimi speaks to everyone burned out by hustle, comparison and the pressure to prove their worth. His message is disarmingly simple: stop trying to stand out.
Being ordinary isn't failure - it's freedom. Freedom from constant competition, from chasing approval, from feeling chronically tense. Letting go of the need to be special will finally give your strengths the space they need to shine.
It's time to release the pressure and embrace the superpower you really need to succeed: The Power of Ordinary.
