If all these outrageous events did not happen he would not let himself fully become Tyler Durden. If he did not listen to his inner self he would not have found his true happiness. The focus of the movie is to not let what society approves of determine what makes you happy. Due to the releasing of his alter-ego he founded a club that many men joined to get away from the harsh realisms of everyday life and found his corky girlfriend.
