May 10, 2024. Self-Development PD Kim Sang-geun
The return of the self-improvement masterpiece that captivated a million readers!
- Longest-running steady seller for 17 consecutive years
- Highly recommended by Jeong Hee-won, Kim Mi-kyung, Lee Yun-gyu, and Jacheong!
- Completely revised with the latest data!
The bestseller 『Immersion』, which was published in 2007 and sparked a nationwide craze for 'immersion', has returned in a completely revised edition.
This expanded edition is not simply an increase in volume from 290 pages to 456, but is even more special as it completely upgrades the content of the first edition by reflecting tens of thousands of data points accumulated over 17 years through immersion, brain science knowledge, and the changing times.
To date, the author has received tens of thousands of immersive experience testimonials from all walks of life.
Among them, we have carefully selected and included cases in which the author achieved remarkable results through long-term communication with the author.
Let's meet the extraordinary achievements of ordinary people, such as a student who was accepted to Seoul National University through immersion, a candidate who passed the national exam with the highest score, a company employee who overcame game addiction to become a key talent, and a college student who swept various competitions and received the Minister's Award.
You will realize that the benefits of immersion are a law that applies to all of us.
Additionally, the mechanism of immersion was theoretically reinforced by incorporating the achievements of brain science proven in the academic world.
We have revealed the correlation between dopamine and immersion, explaining what happens in the brain when we become immersed and why the pleasure we get from immersion is different from the pleasure we get from other stimuli.
The final chapter has been completely revised to allow more people to immerse themselves in it and adapt it to their own circumstances.
The practice method, which consists of 6 levels, 3 for weak immersion and 3 for strong immersion, guides anyone to freely fall into immersion according to the situation.
Weak immersion is for when you have a tight deadline or spare time, while strong immersion is for thinking continuously for several days or more, so let's practice immersion wherever we are.
With the advancement of advanced technology, modern people have gained convenience but lost their ability to concentrate.
Immersion, which allows you to develop high-level intellectual abilities the longer you continue it, is the solution to recovering concentration and maintaining emotional well-being.
This is why it is being published in new clothes after 17 years.
Because only immersive thinking is the only solution to breaking smartphone addiction and unlocking creativity that cannot be replaced by artificial intelligence.

Into the book
The pleasure obtained through immersion is also a result of excessive secretion of dopamine.
But this is different from the pleasure we get from other stimuli.
Even if it continues for a long period of time, it is not accompanied by pain, and rather, it allows you to develop high intellectual abilities and maintain a state of emotional happiness.
In an age where it's becoming increasingly difficult to focus, we need to reflect more deeply on the meaning and utility of immersion.
--- p.8, from the 「Expanded Edition PROLOGUE」
Immersion is an ideal state, but the process itself isn't all that complicated.
If you know the methods, tips, and precautions, you can easily become immersed in something through short-term training.
But the meaning and effect that immersion has on life is enormous.
In a state of immersion, not only is brain utilization maximized, but thinking skills develop at the fastest rate.
Also, when you are in a state of immersion, your mind works well and you can easily solve difficult problems that you normally couldn't solve.
When you combine this maximized brain with the confidence that you can solve any problem and a strong curiosity about the problem, you will not give up until you find the answer to any difficult problem, and you will eventually solve it.
At that moment, your self-worth will skyrocket and your life satisfaction will soar.
--- p.66, from “Chapter 1: Move Your ‘Thoughts’ from Work Hard to Think Hard”
Once you enter a state of immersion, useful ideas about the given problem will begin to come to you.
These are novel ideas that don't usually come to mind easily.
And the details related to the problem are very clear.
It is said that when professional players play Go, the entire Go board floats in their heads, and it feels like a lot of information related to the problem is floating in their heads at the same time.
This allows the brain to simultaneously analyze the complex information needed to solve a problem, making it easier to come up with ideas and improving problem-solving skills.
At this time, problem-solving skills increase significantly to a level that can be clearly distinguished from one's intellectual ability.
I feel like I'm Superman because of my concentration, which is incomparable to my usual level.
--- p.181, from “Chapter 2: Attempting Full-Fledged Immersion”
After becoming a professor, I hoped that if I taught my students about immersion, their lives would also be revolutionized.
Just like I did.
So I emphasized to my students that they should think a lot about the research they are doing and immerse themselves in it.
However, contrary to my expectations, most of the thoughts and immersion were not put into practice well.
Only a very small number of students achieve remarkable results through immersion.
Why do some students struggle to become fully immersed, while others do? While investigating these differences, I discovered a previously overlooked and important correlation.
Students who studied by thinking and solving unknown problems on their own during elementary, middle, and high school were good thinkers and easily absorbed in their studies even as adults.
--- p.288, from “Chapter 4: Becoming a Key Talent at School and Work Through Immersion”
The benefits of immersion can be experienced by anyone, regardless of age or gender.
However, based on my observations over the past 17 years, I have found that when students who are still developing physically and mentally become immersed, the educational effect is enormous.
The aforementioned cases demonstrate that by continuing to train yourself to think and solve unknown problems, you can develop creative problem-solving skills.
If this type of immersive training were carried out over a long period of time throughout elementary, middle, high school, and college, everyone would have about 10,000 hours of immersive thinking.
This is a very good way to enhance national competitiveness, not only because it improves the quality of life of individuals, but also because it secures creative talent.
--- p.325, from “Chapter 4: Becoming a Key Talent at School and Work Through Immersion”
Immersion, which develops creative problem-solving skills, can be divided into 'weak immersion' and 'strong immersion' depending on how it is done.
The continuity of immersive time is an important criterion that distinguishes between weak and strong immersion.
Chapter 5 divides immersion into six stages: three stages of weak immersion and three stages of strong immersion, and then introduces immersion training methods that can be used at each stage.
Weak immersion level 3 is for those who are just starting out with immersion and is a preparatory stage for developing into strong immersion.
Strong Immersion Level 3 is a method for those who have completed Weak Immersion Level 3 or who usually achieve results through deep thinking to grow one step further.
--- p.356, from “Chapter 5: Six Steps to Immersion, Weak or Strong”
By repeating the first stage of weak immersion, you can learn slow sinking, which is to build the infrastructure to attempt full-scale immersion.
Once you master the second stage of weak immersion, your problem-solving skills and spirit of challenge will increase dramatically.
In addition, if you master the third level of weak immersion, you can stand out and solve many problems in your company work or research activities.
Applying the one-second principle for a day or two at Level 1 of Strong Immersion will teach you how to give your absolute best in situations where you need to prepare quickly.
If you can apply the one-second rule for a day or two without difficulty, you are ready to enter the second stage of strong immersion, high immersion.
When you reach the third level of intense immersion, where you can sustain a high level of immersion for a long period of time, you will gain many insights into life.
But this is different from the pleasure we get from other stimuli.
Even if it continues for a long period of time, it is not accompanied by pain, and rather, it allows you to develop high intellectual abilities and maintain a state of emotional happiness.

Publisher's Review
Why should we 'immerse' ourselves?
The development of artificial intelligence, declining concentration… Amidst change and crisis
It's time to re-evaluate the value and utility of immersion.
"Immersion," which was a bestseller upon publication in 2007, was selected as the "Book of the Year" and "Best Economics and Management Book" by Korean bookstores, and is still loved by readers today, has returned in an expanded edition.
Readers of the first edition experienced the power of immersion, solving difficult problems and generating creative and innovative ideas through "immersive thinking."
So, after the first edition was published, Professor Hwang Nong-moon's mailbox was flooded with positive immersion experiences from people of all ages, genders, and occupations who had experienced the miracle of immersion.
Among them, those who sought professional feedback continued to immerse themselves in long-term, voluntary communication with Professor Hwang, and were able to achieve remarkable results at important junctures in their lives.
This was a moment when the immersion theory proved useful not only for problem solving but also for everyone, including test takers and office workers, in situations where they must do their best.
Not stopping there, after observing the positive feedback from readers and the miracle of life-changing self-revolutionary immersion for a long time, the author decided that there were enough cases proving the effectiveness of immersion, so he published an expanded edition to upgrade the contents of the first edition to suit the changing times.
As artificial intelligence and robots replace many human workers, many things have become more convenient, but creative thinking to counter this is lacking.
There is a growing amount of content and things to see that capture our attention for every second, but these types of videos are actually distracting and disorienting us.
Immersive thinking is more important than ever to restore focus and unleash the uniquely human creative thinking that technology cannot replace.
“In an age where it's becoming increasingly difficult to think, we need to reflect more deeply on the meaning and utility of immersion.”
"The moment you reach immersion, you begin to live your life the way you want."
The ultimate way to unleash your inner genius, creativity, and productivity.
Chapter 1, "Shift Your Mindset from Work Hard to Think Hard," discusses how immersion leads to success and a happy life.
Based on the immutable scientific laws and the immersive experiences of the author, geniuses of the century, and elementary and middle school students, it heightens interest and anticipation by including achievements and rewards that can be gained through immersion.
Chapter 2, ‘To Attempt Full Immersion’, is a warm-up process for understanding immersion.
Just as the preparation stage is the most important for any exercise, this chapter explains the process, theory, and laws of immersion and goes into detail and meticulously examines things to keep in mind when immersing yourself.
Chapter 3, “Immersion Makes the Brain and Life Dance,” explains the mechanism of immersion based on brain science.
What happens in the brain when we become immersed, why the pleasure we get from immersion is different from the pleasure we get from other stimuli, and it reveals that immersion is the key to recovering from previous concentration decline and brain damage.
If you're curious about educational methods that foster critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills, pay attention to Chapter 4, "Becoming a Key Talent at School and Work Through Immersion."
Thinking skills, creativity, and problem-solving abilities are essential qualities not only for students but also for working people.
If you are a student struggling with private education or an unappreciated worker, this chapter will help you find joy in studying and gain recognition at work.
The author faced a new challenge when he received inquiries about not being able to immerse himself for a long time or feeling burdened by the challenge of immersing himself for more than 50 hours.
After years of trial and error, rather than providing step-by-step instructions, we've divided it into two categories: "weak immersion" and "strong immersion," with three levels each, for a total of six levels.
Chapter 5, “Five Stages of Immersion,” can be said to be the essence of immersion research.
Many people think that immersion only means concentrating while tense.
The immersion discussed in this book is rather a meditative way of thinking that involves slow, deep, and long-term thinking as if resting.
A single book contains the knowledge needed to achieve true immersion, the vivid experiences of authors and readers, and everything from theory to application.
Through this book, you will no longer waste your life, and will live a happy and fulfilling life without regrets.
It's shed its old age and has come back stronger!
Upgrade points available only in the expansion edition
+ The law of immersion, which has gained universality through 17 years of longitudinal research
What do students who experienced immersion feel like ten years later? Since the first edition was published, the author has received countless thank-you emails from people from all walks of life who have experienced immersion, offering generous support and feedback.
This book deletes previous cases that were abandoned after immersion, and includes verified cases that were communicated with the author over a long period of time from middle school to university.
With the addition of the case of an international student who was immersed for 500 days, the success story of immersion is ongoing all over the world.
+ The resilience of immersion as proven by the latest theories in brain science and neuroscience
Due to the brain's tendency to seek pleasure, modern people are addicted to stimulating content, which is destroying their concentration and frontal lobe.
To restore damaged concentration and frontal lobe, we must engage in 'deliberate immersion'.
If you want to break your smartphone addiction, start immersing yourself.
+ Creative problem-solving skills applicable to all generations, from elementary school students to working adults
Immersion is a way of thinking that fosters creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and the enjoyment of studying.
The first edition only included examples of middle school students solving differentiation problems, but this expanded edition even shows elementary school students who have not done any prior learning solving differentiation problems and the Pythagorean theorem.
In addition, it shows how immersion is being applied in businesses and industries to come up with innovative ideas and solve problems, demonstrating the limitless potential for immersion.
+ Customized instructions for those who haven't yet tried it
For students or researchers who have ample time to immerse themselves during vacation, I recommend strong immersion.
On the other hand, for office workers who only have time on weekends, those who need to come up with ideas in a short period of time, and those who find long periods of immersion burdensome, we have devised a new method of achieving mild immersion.
Depending on the situation and the person, let's freely immerse ourselves and bring about our own revolution.

Immersion is a way of thinking that fosters creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and the enjoyment of studying.
The first edition only included examples of middle school students solving differentiation problems, but this expanded edition even shows elementary school students who have not done any prior learning solving differentiation problems and the Pythagorean theorem.
In addition, it shows how immersion is being applied in businesses and industries to come up with innovative ideas and solve problems, demonstrating the limitless potential for immersion.
+ Customized instructions for those who haven't yet tried it
For students or researchers who have ample time to immerse themselves during vacation, I recommend strong immersion.
On the other hand, for office workers who only have time on weekends, those who need to come up with ideas in a short period of time, and those who find long periods of immersion burdensome, we have devised a new method of achieving mild immersion.
Depending on the situation and the person, let's freely immerse ourselves and bring about our own revolution.
