    I really enjoy reading the book “The Courage to be Disliked”. I particularly like the format of dialogue between the philosopher and the young student. However, at some point I wanted to intervene and challenge a claim.

    The philosopher makes the following claim: “There is no such thing as worry that is completely defined by the individual; so-called internal worry does not exist. Whatever the worry that may arise, the shadows of other people are always present.”

    My counter argument is: “what about health issues? Even in a universe where one is alone, if one gets sick will cause worries”.

    Any comments?
