Excellence

Description
Book Introduction
- A word from MD
-
Excellence is not a choice, it's a necessityDoris Mertin lists 'excellence' as a virtue that everyone should have while living.
Excellence is not something you are born with, it is something you earn through effort.
Like Uber and Airbnb, it's not science and technology that change the world, but brilliant ideas.
We have introduced, item by item, ways in which individuals can cultivate excellence.

* Highly recommended by Mind Minor's Song Gil-young and brain scientist Kim Dae-su!
* New work by the author of 『Abitus』
“Do you have an irreplaceable excellence?”
A practical humanities book that creates an "irreplaceable self" with nine abilities that determine human excellence.
Doris Mertin, the world's leading consultant who received much love for her 2020 humanities bestseller, "Habitus," returns this time with the theme of "excellence."
As we enter the age of COVID-19, big data, and artificial intelligence, we realize that vast knowledge or innate intelligence alone cannot cope with the changing world.
The author says that the current standard of excellence has completely changed, and at its core are 'emotions and feelings' and 'the power to think and reflect', which are uniquely human.
In other words, the ability to ‘deeply empathize and ask questions’ has become much more important than knowing a lot.
Great innovation begins with human insight and ideas, not with science and technology—in other words, with excellence.
The author explains the nine irreplaceable qualities that only humans possess and how each individual can realize their unique potential.
If the previous work, 『Abitus』, showed us how to get to first class on the plane called life, 『Excellence』 shows us how to climb into the cockpit and take control of the controls ourselves.
In other words, it clearly conveys the secret to leading my life proactively, no matter what changes or extreme situations I face.
As a globally beloved bestselling author, he uses a variety of case studies, storytelling, and insights that cross fields like philosophy, science, psychology, and economics to help readers achieve greater agility and intelligence, ultimately leading to excellence.
Let's confidently take control of our own lives through this book, which reinterprets the concept of "excellence," which has seemed distant to us, from a practical and professional perspective and presents new solutions for life.

Into the book
Right now you are on the plane called life.
Where should I sit? Economy? Business? First class? If you can't think of any other option besides these three, you likely haven't yet connected yourself to "excellence."
We all now have to sit in the cockpit, whether we are students, housewives, employees, or managers.
The days of comfortably reaching your destination by following others' lead are over.
The world is changing by the minute, and if you don't take control, you could be pushed to an undesirable place at any time.
---From the Korean edition preface | Where will you sit on the plane called life?
Contrary to popular belief, excellence does not mean perfection or great success.
(…) Excellence is not a state of being, it is an effort.
Excellence comes from the will to grow beyond oneself and to reach ever-higher heights of possibility and quality of life.
By this definition, excellence is accessible to everyone, whether you've already achieved great success or are just starting out with aspirations.
---From Chapter 1, “Only the Excellent Cannot Be Replaced”
“He who thinks there is no land when he sees nothing but sea is a bad explorer,” said philosopher Francis Bacon.
The same goes for innovation.
Only those who strive to adapt to new things can go to new lands.
Because our cognitive structures expand when we adapt, not when we assimilate.
---From "Chapter 2 Open Mind: Curiosity Unleashes Superpowers"
The habit of reflecting on your own abilities, plans, and goals provides 'personalized insight.'
You can gain insights that are tailored to you, not someone else.
We gain insights that go far beyond the encouragement typically offered by management consultants or expert books.
Only when we face our own potential and limitations can we find the courage to continue to develop ourselves, identify obstacles, and find ways to overcome them.
The path from mediocrity to excellence opens through reflection.
---From "Chapter 3 Self-Reflection: Only I Know My Desires and Values"
"A person who accomplishes something out of a sense of duty cannot be outstanding, nor will he ever feel outstanding." What will lead me to where I want to be? What do I value? What is precious to me? The answers to these questions don't just happen.
---From "Chapter 3 Self-Reflection: Only I Know My Desires and Values"
Empathy isn't a trait of a good person, nor does it mean seeing only the good in others.
For example, a manager armed with high empathy skills is never swayed by his team members.
Rather, it is the opposite.
With his empathetic skills, he knows better than anyone which employees are helping the project progress and which are hindering it.
---From "Chapter 4 Empathy: Deep Understanding Creates Innovation"
From a classmate's perfect math score to a friend's success growing a startup into a unicorn, we see only shining results.
The costs and perseverance behind every achievement, the courage to face uncertainty, the birthday parties you missed, are all invisible.
Because highly successful people rarely reveal their self-improvement, effort, doubts, losses, or burdens.
They only reveal a glimpse behind the scenes when they reach their peak of brilliance.
---From "Chapter 5: Will: Make Excellence a Habit"
Managers watch the balance sheet, leaders look to the horizon.
Great leaders inspire others with their path-breaking ideas, and their approach shatters the boundaries of convention.
---From "Chapter 6 Leadership: Inspire, Don't Direct"
We can take our emotions seriously without following their advice.
Even though tempting sneakers keep popping up in my window, no one is pressuring me to buy them.
We decide what to buy.
Likewise, only we decide which emotions to follow and in what way.
---From "Chapter 7: Equanimity: You must control your emotions to reach the essence"
“React to change rather than follow a plan.” To follow this principle, you must not be a perfectionist or narrow-minded.
(…) Whether it's cutting costs to account for declining sales or cooking with leftover ingredients in the fridge, the agile person is the one who gets the best results in a given situation.
The best outcome here is not a half-baked compromise, but a truly excellent solution that is both simple and innovative.
---From "Chapter 8 Agility: Don't Just Follow the Plan, Respond to Change"
Perfection and excellence are not synonymous.
Perfectionists focus on the so-called ideal.
Their gaze follows the flaws, the shortcomings, the deficiencies.
(…) But those who pursue excellence follow a healthier path.
They too have high standards, but they set wise goals and don't chase unattainable ideals.
They get their energy from doing a good job at what they do and from getting better at it.
---From "Chapter 9 Well-being: Stop and Take Care of Yourself Sometimes"
Excellence depends on what you do in the next five minutes.
In those five minutes that determine excellence, we rise to new heights.
Perhaps we can increase our success by gaining things like money, status, and fame.
I can assure you that if we unleash the potential excellence within us, we will find greater joy and fulfillment.

Publisher's Review
On the plane called life
Are you a passenger or a pilot?
With the unprecedented outbreak of a virus and the transformation of artificial intelligence and big data into the world, we are now faced with a situation where what we once considered correct has become useless.
There are countless specific coping strategies and secrets to success for these situations, but they are difficult to apply directly to individuals, and blindly following others will only lead to a difficult path forward.
But Doris Mertin has outlined nine ways to stay ahead of the curve and reach your unique potential, no matter how the world changes.
These fundamental abilities are something that everyone already possesses, and can be endlessly developed if only we realize them and put them into practice.
In a world of chaos, people dream of success, stability, and wealth, but they rarely make the effort to excel themselves.
So what exactly is "excellence"? Excellence is the ability to maximize one's potential, the embodiment of the uniquely human power to contemplate and reflect.
As a world-class consultant who has met countless successful individuals over the past 20 years, the author has distilled into a single book the nine core qualities of excellence of elites who skillfully overcome any crisis and adapt to change.
The nine abilities are open-mindedness, self-reflection, empathy, willpower, leadership, equanimity, agility, well-being, and resonance.
If you properly understand and embody these abilities, you will be able to go anywhere.
The author calls this a 'miracle of excellence.'
Excellence may seem far away, but it is actually very close.
Whether you're a housewife, a student, a new member of society, or a leader, it's time to step out of your passenger seat and take a leap forward.
With wings of excellence.
No matter how the world changes, I will not be shaken
9 Potential Abilities to Lead Your Life
"Excellence" deeply and broadly reinterprets concepts we've often considered narrow and obvious, enabling us to apply them to our daily lives and businesses to the fullest.
For example, 'empathy' does not mean feeling pity and sympathy at all times.
Let's say you find someone hanging off a cliff.
Emotional empathy, which seeks to help without any preparation, is a good thing, but more important is cognitive empathy, which objectively judges 'how to best resolve the situation.'
It's much wiser to quickly get some rescue equipment and a few more people to help.
The cognitive and social empathy the author speaks of is the ability to accurately understand the other person's mind or situation by viewing the situation from a microscopic and macroscopic perspective, thereby leading to agreement, cooperation, and innovation.
Furthermore, 'agility' is not about always getting things done quickly, but rather an attitude of learning how to quickly respond to all variables, breaking free from the trap of planners and perfectionists.
The answer lies in the saying, “Don’t just follow the plan; react to change.”
The brilliant ones don't find second-best solutions to smooth things over, but find the best solutions that are admirably simple yet innovative.
And some people perceive 'will' as something that simply exhausts them.
On the other hand, the author recognizes the importance of hidden mental strength, such as overcoming fear and frustration hidden behind the flashy success of others, and encourages people to clearly recognize this in their own lives and demonstrate healthy willpower.
To achieve excellence, you need to internalize codes that are more subtle and complex than you might think.
But if you come across this book, all you have to do is decide to absorb its complex and diverse methods.
Variables are an inevitable element in everyone's life, and especially in today's era, change is occurring much more rapidly than before.
Rather than learning a new method every time, it is a time when we need to have the quality of a shield that can withstand any obstacle.
Excellence will empower you to face the world with more confidence by reducing your frustration, anxiety, and fear.
The standards of excellence for reaching the top have changed.
Arm yourself with the new 'Excellence'!
How will world-changing innovations like the metaverse, artificial intelligence, and big data be achieved? While advancements in science and technology often come to mind, the author argues that it's not the technology itself that drives innovation success.
Technology is just a tool, and the real source of innovation comes from human ingenuity, imagination, and thought.
While understanding technological trends is important, it is human vision and ideas that allow us to 'utilize' the advancements in technology.
It is a time of crisis more than ever, but also an era with increased opportunities to unfold possibilities.
The author concretizes the cliché that a crisis is an opportunity into the most practical solutions possible.
Additionally, with his unique storytelling ability, he explains how various characters we didn't know much about have each developed their potential, giving us hope we never had before.
The combination of constantly motivating self-improvement messages and humanistic analysis using cases and concepts from philosophy and sociology provides a powerful force that challenges our preconceptions and inspires change "right now."
And at the end of each chapter, we have compiled the '7 Secrets to Excellence' separately.
These secrets will help readers embody and incorporate the nine abilities more quickly into their daily lives.
We can excel not only in specific fields, but also in every moment of our daily lives.
Excellence is not the same as perfection; it is the constant effort to push beyond your limits.
Right now, it's time to unleash everything I have inside of me.
