As always it's not black or white for me. I have a strong leaning towards Kishimi when it comes to living my life. Not taking myself too seriously has been a wonderful approach to pretty much everything, from my business to my parenting to martial arts.
What is important in Gibson's approach, is that many people who have not had the fortune of kind and emotionally available parents, internalize the feeling that there is something inherently wrong with them. Something that makes them unworthy of being loved and supported. Realizing that this is not the case, that rather it was the parents' incapacity of providing such an environment, can be very liberating to THEN move on to Kishimi. It's the simple difference between taking the blame for all my misery and taking responsibility for creating a better life.
If I'd be sitting in a plane, window seat, being cornered for 6 hours on a flight the thing i'd be worried least about is my anger. Rather I'd develop acute bowel urgency (lactose intolerance hits hard)
I like your series.

My mind was blown reading The Courage to be Disliked and I find Algerian psych to be actually quite empowering
This is so much fun!
