Prologue: 10 Minutes a Day: Short, Deep Thoughts That Rule Me
Part 1: Calmness, a time to calm the turmoil of the mind
Perfection, testing the limits of possibility
gap, silence between
Keep in mind, a thought engraved in your heart
Intention, a map of my mind
God is in the details
Style, the grammar that defines me
Causality, wiser than wisdom, more just than justice
Part 2: The Power of Seeing the Still
Preparation, like an axe blade sharpened without anyone knowing
Design, embroidering your own pattern
Unique, the driving force that moves all things
Center, the string connecting me and the world
Introspection, the fortress that protects me
Non-action, the principle that governs life
Stabilizer: What is your own 'pat'?
Part 3: Ambition, My Earnest Request to Myself
Dae-oh, realizing that my world is imperfect
Spontaneity, individuality is spontaneous and spontaneous.
Talent, the ability to rule the soul
Duty, the wisdom to know what to do
Danger, the silent signal that humbles me
Education: Training to Escape from Yesterday's World
Competition, the courage to concede in a fight with myself
Part 4: The Opening of the World, a quiet sound that awakens me
Tears, crying, are the sound of a new beginning.
Conquest, the process of creating a noble self
Adverb, not what but how
Moderation, living humbly before time
The decisive now, where the middle, the beginning, and the end become one
Honesty, the hard way and the shortcut
Recovery, time to break the vessel within me
Epilogue: What Will I Listen To Today?

Into the book
Through learning, humans move from the status quo of the past to the future they desire.
Learning is a systematic attack on the selfishness that seeks to settle for the past, and a struggle for self-reform to create a better version of ourselves.
--- p.38, from “Mindfulness, Thoughts Engraved in the Heart”
Just as a year is a series of moments, my destiny and my personality are the result of the thoughts I have in my mind right now.
When we realize this stark truth, everything is holy and every action is spiritual.
Truth is surrounded by countless trifles.
--- p.60, from “Small, God is in the Details”
The Hebrew word for 'evil', 'ra?', means 'disorganized/forced'.
Evil is a chaos of the mind, obsessed with emotions such as hatred, envy, contempt, and injustice.
Furthermore, it is cowardly to blame others for one's own shortcomings.
--- p.83, from “Causality, Wiser Than Wisdom, More Just Than Justice”
The word 'design (de-sign)' is a combination of two words.
One is the preposition 'de', and the other is 'sign', derived from the Latin verb 'signare'.
Design is the process of bringing out something I already have.
When you express something that is unique to you, the design has to be unique and distinctive.
--- p.108, from “Design, Embroidering Your Own Pattern”
Life is not a labor for a living, but a duty to fulfill my inner calling.
And it is the courage to choose what moves you and dedicate yourself to it.
Have I ever listened to the beating of my heart?
Have I ignored it because it was something I was afraid of? What does my heart demand of me?
--- p.132, from “Center, the string connecting me and the world”
The reason I cry when I see the sunset is because I am overwhelmed by its mysterious beauty that cannot be expressed in words.
The sunset asks me.
“Why don’t you live a life that inspires?” the deep wrinkles on my mother’s face ask me.
“Why don’t you live a life of dedication?”
Learning is a systematic attack on the selfishness that seeks to settle for the past, and a struggle for self-reform to create a better version of ourselves.

Publisher's Review
Will I submit to the external voices that tempt me?
Will you tremble at the subtle sound within me?
We are plagued by external stimuli that torment our lives several times a day.
Everyday life is dominated by all kinds of temptations that shake our standards of living, such as the gaze of others and the stress of interpersonal relationships.
The recent interest in mindfulness and meditation among modern people may be due to their desire to isolate themselves from distracting thoughts and depression and have time just for themselves.
『Quietness』 is a book that helps you find peace of mind.
The title 'Jeongjeok' means 'Jeongjungdong (靜中動)', a state of mind like a calm lake, which appears calm on the outside but has constant movement inside.
The movement needed at this time is ‘listening.’
The key to 'listening', as the author puts it, is hearing not the voices of others, but my own voice.
A person who embraces stillness in his heart rejects the tempting sounds from the outside and deliberately maintains silence in order to listen to the subtle sounds that flow from within.
In this process, the individuality that makes me who I am is revealed.
“Silence is the ability to immerse oneself deep in water.
A person who has silence in his heart
“I willingly keep my mouth shut today to hear the echo within me.”
A spell to become the person I want to be
“What will I not do today?”
Most of our daily lives are made up of ‘doing’.
Waking up in the morning when the alarm goes off, eating when it's time, and mindlessly browsing social media or YouTube are all unconscious actions that dominate our day.
The author recommends 'not doing' as an easy way to reflect on life.
He says that simply observing one by one the things you habitually do and thinking every morning, “What will I not do today?” will change your life.
“For several years now, my life principle has been ‘don’t do it.’
In order to avoid doing it, you must be able to observe the thoughts and actions you do without realizing it.
“There is nothing I cannot master when I ‘do nothing.’”
10 minutes a day to calm the whirlpool of your mind
Time to have a heart like a lake
The author of this book, classical literature scholar Bae Cheol-hyeon, has explained the steps necessary to become a “great individual” in his previous works, “The Abyss” and “Cultivation.”
『The Abyss』 focused on the value of solitude, and 『The Training』 emphasized the training of discarding the unnecessary things in life.
The new book, "Quiet," explains how to achieve equanimity through four steps.
- A time to calm the turmoil of the mind
- The power to see the immobile, the motionless
- Ambition, the earnest request I have for myself
- Gaebyeok, the quiet sound that wakes me up
The 28 words presented in this book, including perfection, intention, style, causality, and moderation, are a guide and helper for yourself.
Not only does it provide food for thought by finding hidden meanings in everyday words from ancient languages such as Latin, Hebrew, and Sumerian, but the aphorisms about life, composed of short sentences, leave a deep impression thanks to the author's humanistic insights.
Through this book, you will be able to hear the quiet resonance of your own transformation.
