For Adler, every personality is an unrepeatable and unique entity, guided by one basic goal that shapes its entire life, creating its special "lifestyle".
The work represents a neurotic character, which, according to Adler, can develop even in childhood. He believes that various social factors can lead to the development of a neurotic character based on a feeling of insecurity and inferiority.
Adler claims that the three questions that are asked of each person (attitude towards others, occupation, love) determine us and our understanding of meaning.
