Jeon Seung-hwan's "The Man Who Reads Books," loved by 1.7 million readers
How to be comforted and loved correctly
“When you feel alone
“Is there a sentence that asks how you are doing?”
The second humanities essay by Jeon Seung-hwan, author of "The Man Who Reads Books," which comforts 1.7 million readers every week.
Following "When I Don't Know What I Want," which became a 2020 humanities bestseller and healed 200,000 readers, he returns with even deeper insight.
If the previous work comforted those who were tired of life, 『The Moment You Called My Name』 carefully examines and comforts the appearance of ‘me’ in relationships.
Why do we sometimes feel so alone? Perhaps it's because we are beings who cannot survive alone.
We all need someone who calls us by our names affectionately and speaks warm words that understand our hearts.
For those who desperately need that feeling of "someone on my side," the author explores philosophy, psychology, art, and literature to find the comforting words we desperately need.
Author Jeon Seung-hwan has written four books and has been sharing the good words and comforting messages contained in his books through various channels for over ten years.
In this book, “The Moment You Called My Name,” I introduce various sentences about my relationship with myself, my relationship with others, and my relationship with the world, mixed with my honest experiences and insights.
It is full of healing sentences that help you reflect on your own emotions, as well as accurately understand the hearts of others and the world.
It also introduces various works of art, adding to the visual enjoyment.
If you are feeling hurt and troubled in various relationships, look for sentences and works in this book that will help you find light in your heart.

Into the book
We've all had the experience of feeling like a mountain of unhappiness and worries when we're alone, only to find that they become nothing when we chat with friends or a lover.
Sometimes, solutions to problems that seemed difficult to solve are found too easily.
Humans never exist as 'individuals'.
We live in this world as 'us', in countless relationships with others.
That's why people need us, and we need each other.
---From "Introduction: Why We Need Us"
During my carefree childhood, did I ever seriously contemplate my existence or my future? Probably not.
I would just enjoy every moment.
We all have had times when we were filled with the joy of just being alive.
Doesn't it give you peace of mind to think that you already have all the conditions for life just by existing?
---From "Part 1: Don't Forget, You Are Special"
What was interesting was that the author talked about turning regret into an opportunity.
It is said that through regret we can gain the 'belief that better is possible'.
This sentence was a huge shock to me, as I always thought that regret was a bad thing.
Regrets can bring about new opportunities in life.
Because in a moment of regret, I might suddenly realize what I really want.
No one can predict what mask hope will wear when it comes to us.
---From "Part 1: Don't Forget, You Are Special"
Rather than using the word 'sincerity' here and there to decorate things, simply approach it with a transparent heart.
It may not be as easy as it sounds, but how much comfort will that alone bring us?
Just by telling them that there are darker pains, rather than offering plausible advice, and by simply looking into each other's eyes without saying a word and embracing ourselves, we can understand each other a little better.
---From "Part 2: When I Fall in Love, the Universe Comes into Being"
Every time I ponder this sentence, it makes me think a lot: it's truly a tremendous thing for one person to come to us.
I realized how important it is to build relationships with people and how necessary it is to understand their perspective.
We are not only relating to the person we see now, but also embracing their past and future.
When I think about the tremendous change that one precious relationship can bring, it naturally brings me to my heart.
---From "Part 2: When I Fall in Love, the Universe Comes into Being"
To say that there are no natural relationships in the world means, in other words, that I am not a natural being to myself.
Naturally, we should not postpone or neglect it as a priority, but continue to cherish and care for it.
---From "Part 2: When I Fall in Love, the Universe Comes into Being"
There are words that I need, not others.
All words have depth, but the words we say to ourselves are also very important in our lives.
The title of my first book is "Thank You to Me."
Looking back, I realized that there are many people who are kind to others but cannot say "thank you" to themselves.
---From "Part 3: For You and Me to Be Happy Together"
As Eric Hoffer said, life's problems often find solutions in unexpected places.
If you're currently facing a difficult situation or feeling overwhelmed by stress, take a moment to step away from the situation and observe yourself from a distance.
---From "Part 3: For You and Me to Be Happy Together"
Often, when someone grieving a loss smiles or shows a happy expression, we misunderstand and think, "Oh, they're not sad anymore."
But even sad people can often smile.
There may be moments of joy.
But those moments cannot tell you how deep a person's sorrow is.
---From "Part 4: For Our Warm Days"
While traveling, Haruki would have tried to capture every moment that passed before his eyes.
That is why he was able to write such an excellent work filled with soul. (…) As he said, what we should really fear is not the passage of time or growing old.
It is just wasting precious time in the present.
If you can live a life where every second of your life is yours and your heart beats with excitement, then growing old will actually feel like nothing.
---From "Part 4: For Our Warm Days"
I think anyone who has focused on one thing and missed something else is happy.
Things like missing your subway stop because you're so attached to someone, being late for an appointment because you're so absorbed in something you love, or getting so engrossed in someone else's story that you forget your own business.
Isn't being able to focus on something other than myself to this extent, having something to love to this extent, one of the conditions for a happy life?
---From "Part 4: For Our Warm Days"
Even short sentences can have tremendous impact if they contain deep insight and experience.
It can literally change a person's life, and even change the world.
I call these sentences 'sentences of life.'

Publisher's Review
“It’s okay to be lonely.
For us
“I need someone to tell me this.”
As we live, there are times when we feel overwhelmed by loneliness.
No one intentionally made me lonely, but when I spend a lot of time alone, I desperately want someone to notice me.
Some say it's because the pandemic has been going on for so long, while others say it's because they're getting older and have fewer places to rely on.
This is why we need to call each other by our names affectionately, even as we live busy lives.
It would be nice to always have someone like that by your side, but to comfort those who inevitably feel a lack, we've selected some affectionate 'comforting words'.
Jeon Seung-hwan, the author of five books and a man known as the "Reading Man," shares inspiring quotes with 1.7 million readers every week. He believes that a single, short sentence has the power to change someone's life and brighten the world.
His strong faith led him to select sentences for people for nearly a decade.
Readers who have found solace in his books and writings say, “I found the only sentence that understands my weary heart,” and “I learned to love myself through his sentences.”
Those who encounter a single sincere sentence that understands their heart, rather than any complicated words, become completely positive about themselves and their lives.
The 120 or so sentences and works selected to reach each and every heart will become a small but brighter light than anything else in the world, protecting the light of my heart in this tiring and difficult life.
Drawing from philosophy, art, literature, and psychology
Comforting words that fill my soul
Even when we live without laughter, a cute picture brings a smile to our faces. When we feel crushed by the weight of life, a heartfelt poem lifts our spirits. When we feel isolated, a thoughtful phrase reminds us that we are not alone.
The 'sentences and works of life' introduced in this book span a wide range of fields, including philosophy, art, literature, and psychology.
Sometimes, it provides reassurance based on objective academic facts, and sometimes it overturns narrow-minded and negative thoughts with powerful sentences that make your heart sink.
This book helps you thoroughly digest the messages of authors who have delivered profound insights into life across time and borders, including Hermann Hesse, Haruki Murakami, Julian Barnes, Kim Yeon-su, Pi Cheon-deuk, Shin Hyeong-cheol, Park Jun, Noh Myung-woo, and Milan Kundera.
In addition, the works of art by classic artists such as Van Gogh, Marc Chagall, and Edward Hopper, as well as contemporary artists such as Song Hyung-no, Oh Byeong-uk, and Ko Cha-bun, indirectly provide the joy of experiencing a new world.
It allows me to understand the lives and emotions of writers while also reflecting on my own emotions.
All of this is the result of the author's artistic sensibility and reading ability that he has acquired physically and mentally over the past ten years.
People often warn us to be wary of 'thinking as we live'.
To avoid being swept up in our daily lives and trapped in narrow-minded thinking, it is essential to accept the experiences and wisdom of those who have lived righteous lives before us.
In addition, the author's colorful episodes and examples from his own experiences help convey his intimate wisdom and insight easily and quickly into our everyday lives.
Examining ‘me’ in various relationships
How to be comforted and loved correctly
The author has long emphasized the power of a single sentence that understands my heart through his activities and books, including his "Reading Man."
But now, in addition to that, 『The Moment You Called My Name』 emphasizes that we need someone with whom we can share that one sentence.
As the title of the book suggests, we need to have someone by our side who can call us by our names and become our each other's meaning.
Because it is impossible to live a life confined only to ‘me’.
The book is structured in four stages, allowing us to naturally shift our gaze from ourselves to others, and from others to the world.
Part 1 covers how to look after and comfort yourself, which is more important than anything else, and Part 2 teaches you how to properly share love with others through the process of being hurt and growing within relationships.
Part 3 deals with how to grow together through more mature relationships, and Part 4 deals with attitudes toward relating and communicating with this wide world.
After all, we are beings who cannot live without others.
We are saved by the mere fact that there is someone who calls our name affectionately, by the mere fact that there is someone who will call our name affectionately.
In an age where the word love is gradually losing its luster, the author once again emphasizes the power of love and relationships.
If all relationships are awkward and difficult, if you are constantly hurt and isolated, open this book.
With his uniquely warm gaze, the author comforts our weary hearts and guides them on the path they should take.
