To commemorate this milestone, a special hardcover edition featuring a new cover and design and a special preface by the author is being released.\u003cbr\u003e \"Choi Jae-cheon's Study\" is a book that Professor Choi Jae-cheon, who has been deeply observing animals and humans, has wanted to write for over 10 years. It encompasses all of his thoughts on study, which is essential in this day and age.\u003cbr\u003e We examine why studying is important and how it impacts us throughout life, examine the reality of Korean education, which has not been properly discussed, and present a blueprint for the future. \u003cbr\u003eThis book is based on my personal experiences during my time at Harvard University, lectures I gave while a professor at Seoul National University and Ewha Womans University, and a comprehensive perspective that crosses the boundaries between natural sciences and humanities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Countless teenagers, parents, young adults, middle-aged people, government officials, and businesses have asked Professor Choi Jae-cheon, a leading figure in the field of natural science.\u003cbr\u003e \"How can I find work I love?\" \"Is there a secret to living a leisurely life while working hard?\" \"Is there a secret to raising children well?\" \"How should we survive in the face of global disaster?\" \"What kind of talent should we select and cultivate?\" The paths of life, education, policy, and management—the paths we each seek are diverse, but they all share one thing in common.\u003cbr\u003e I want to learn because I want to find my way in life. \u003cbr\u003e“You don’t have to study flawlessly like laying bricks.” “Don’t fight for every minute and second, finish a week before the deadline.” “Reading should be a job, not a hobby.” “Teachers should not step on their students’ toes.” “Let’s educate them like animals.” “Let’s give children their lives back.” “Let’s find out what’s right through discussion.” “You can do whatever you want!” In this book, Professor Choi Jae-cheon addresses the questions we’ve been wondering about, sometimes with a soft voice, and sometimes with a firm, direct tone.\u003cbr\u003e It opens the window of thought and presents a map that broadens the direction of learning.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's contents.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003ePreview\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e \u003cb\u003eindex\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e Special Preface to Commemorate the 100,000th Copy Sale: \"A Nation Prospered by Education, Ruined by Education\" -

It was because I was disillusioned with my reality, having failed the college entrance exam twice despite attending a good high school.\u003cbr\u003e \"I've prepared for years, even retaking the exam. Why is my pass or fail determined by a single exam? What if we spread this out over the course of a year?\" The thought that crossed my mind was, \"The evaluations should be different.\"\u003cbr\u003e I did pretty well in the long-term, evaluation-based approach.\u003cbr\u003e We can evaluate many aspects, but we evaluate them by too limited criteria.\u003cbr\u003e I'm eliminating the one-on-one, one-on-one test and evaluating each student on a dozen or so aspects.\u003cbr\u003e Almost daily assessments are required to produce a comprehensive evaluation for the entire semester.\u003cbr\u003e I've been persistent throughout my teaching career.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.77~78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e I tried to make 'doing it in advance' a habit. \u003cbr\u003eI decided to finish it a week early, but it didn't go well at first.\u003cbr\u003e The thought that 'there really is a week' kept running through my head.\u003cbr\u003e I practiced for a long time so it became automatic input.\u003cbr\u003e 'Things that need to be done by a certain date' has become 'Things that need to be done a week or two in advance.'\u003cbr\u003e I'll do everything in advance.\u003cbr\u003e The rest of the time, I'll do something else, and if I suddenly have 30 minutes or so to spare, I'll look at that again.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As you continue to expand your knowledge territory, reading as if it were your job, you'll find yourself moving effortlessly across new fields, almost as if it were a lie.\u003cbr\u003e When that day comes, you will be proud and lovable.\u003cbr\u003e In an age where people live to be 100, it is impossible to survive for decades with the knowledge you learned in your early 20s.\u003cbr\u003e Unless you're going back to school, you'll eventually have to enter a new field by reading books. \u003cbr\u003eThis is not the time to be reading for fun.\u003cbr\u003e Reading is a 'work' that requires planning and wrestling.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.155~156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In my lab, and even when I was working as the director of the National Institute of Ecology, I never blamed anyone who made a mistake.\u003cbr\u003e I live by the iron rule of 'don't scold someone who makes a mistake'.\u003cbr\u003e It's one of my ten commandments of management.\u003cbr\u003e (…) And, other people don’t really remember my mistakes.\u003cbr\u003e We think that if we make a mistake, we're completely buried in that neighborhood, but my conclusion is, 'Other people don't care about me.'\u003cbr\u003e My advice is, 'Don't be too scared and just go for it.'\u003cbr\u003e --- p.166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Since I started talking about integration, the saying \"dig one well without communication\" has almost disappeared from our society.\u003cbr\u003e Nowadays, most people feel that they need to blend in with those around them.\u003cbr\u003e My other work has made me who I am today. \u003cbr\u003eIf I had only studied biology all my life, I might have lived as a very ordinary entomologist, perhaps just studying curious little insects.\u003cbr\u003e No matter how much I think about it, the only thing that has allowed me to do so much with so much freedom is other things.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.200~201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A mother chimpanzee doesn't know that her offspring is failing.\u003cbr\u003e If you observe, the mother chimpanzee's expression is complicated as she sees her child's continued failures.\u003cbr\u003e It's as if he's struggling with the question, 'Should I hold on to him and teach him?'\u003cbr\u003e That's not true, is it?\u003cbr\u003e I think you could empathize with my observations.\u003cbr\u003e The mother chimpanzee continues to eat her own fruit while her failing offspring continues to struggle.\u003cbr\u003e Sometimes, the baby chimpanzee steals food from its mother.\u003cbr\u003e If it's taken away, there's nothing you can do, but you don't say, \"Are you hungry?

He advises that education can change as tests and evaluations change, and that schools should transform from a space made up of straight lines and points to a space that allows for diverse movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Is there a way to make a living doing what I love while protecting myself? Professor Choi Jae-cheon says we need to find it by persistently exploring, poking around, \"searching, poking, attending lectures, and reading books\" (p. 293). \u003cbr\u003eThey say that if you dig into this little by little, you might discover that this path is not for you.\u003cbr\u003e It subtly teaches the techniques of building a house of study, and preaches that it is okay not to have a perfect blueprint for your life.\u003cbr\u003e Life is not a building that is built by stacking rectangular bricks, but an organic material that is completed by balancing square stones, round stones, large stones, and small stones.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Don’t be too afraid.\u003cbr\u003e It's better to go with a slightly rough structure anyway.\u003cbr\u003e \"If you dive into this and that, even if you're sloppy on one side, if you study the other side deeply, eventually you'll find that the two sides meet.' The deeper you delve into the other side, the more support you gain, and you gain considerable strength.\" (p. 93)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this age of \"N-jobbers,\" is it really okay to do something else? Professor Choi Jae-cheon answers without hesitation, \"Yes, it is.\" \u003cbr\u003eThe reason his words are trustworthy is because he too has gone through many failures, many challenges, and many wanderings during his youth to reach where he is today.\u003cbr\u003e He said, “I also have to finish everything within a set time.\u003cbr\u003e We don't live our whole lives in a rush where we have to find every solution in an hour.\u003cbr\u003e He confesses that his distractions have created his current self, saying, “We have enough time to recognize and reflect on the problem” (p. 73).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhat I Learned as a Dormitory Superintendent at Harvard University\u003cbr\u003e My experiences and feelings as a professor from Seoul National University to Ewha Womans University\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Life at Harvard University, considered one of the world's most prestigious universities, was a turning point in Professor Choi Jae-cheon's life.\u003cbr\u003e There, he met his mentor, Professor Edward Wilson, who supported and encouraged him, and learned the secrets of studying and working well. \u003cbr\u003eDoing things that need to be done a week in advance.\u003cbr\u003e He has continued the habit of finishing his work a week in advance and making small corrections several times whenever he has time.\u003cbr\u003e They say that these habits help them produce better results and maintain a calm mind.\u003cbr\u003e I also learned how to debate, which is the weakest point of our society, at Harvard University.\u003cbr\u003e He explains that discussions that “find out what is right” (page 169) rather than discussions that “pull the other party into a corner” (page 75) are more helpful for true social development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e He believes that time spent alone is just as important as time spent thinking together, because “while there are things that need to be done together, new results come from time spent thinking, researching, and reading alone” (p. 105). \u003cbr\u003eEveryone knows that the power of 'reading, writing, and speaking' is important, but his methodology is unique.\u003cbr\u003e When he writes, he writes a draft a week in advance and then revises it “about 50 times” (p. 124) to create sentences that are easy to breathe.\u003cbr\u003e I recommend that you focus on “planned reading” (page 157) rather than “hobby reading” (page 156).\u003cbr\u003e His keen insight into what to write and how to read shines through once again in this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “When I give lectures about reading, I put up a picture of an elephant pooping on the screen.\u003cbr\u003e Have you ever actually seen elephant dung? It's enormous.\u003cbr\u003e If you put something in, won't it come out? Some people say they write quite well even though they don't read.\u003cbr\u003e I don't believe that.\u003cbr\u003e People who read a lot write well.\u003cbr\u003e Rather than copying what you read from memory, you create your own sentences through the process of thinking while reading. \u003cbr\u003e“I have rarely seen a case of someone who has never read writing being a good writer.” (p. 144)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eStudying is an effort to make one person and the world live beautifully.\u003cbr\u003e A book that ranges from provocative questions to comprehensive insights.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Is it only through competition, trampling on others, that survival is possible? Professor Choi Jae-cheon has for years been arguing against a winner-takes-all society, arguing, \"We should rule the group, not the king.\" In this book, he draws parallels to the animal kingdom, illustrating the pitfalls of self-righteousness for the dominant figure and the importance of a coexistent life for all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “In chimpanzee society, for example, several males in an alliance beat up and overthrow the existing alpha male, and then one of the males in that alliance becomes the new leader. \u003cbr\u003eIf the leader chimpanzee does not share power with his cooperating fellow chimpanzees, the fellow chimpanzees will form alliances with other chimpanzees and wait for an opportunity to overthrow the leader chimpanzee.\u003cbr\u003e “Yesterday’s comrades become today’s enemies.” (pp. 268-269)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With the advent of a major disaster like COVID-19, we have come to realize that the attitude of prioritizing our own survival over our own families is an attitude that cannot even save ourselves and our families.\u003cbr\u003e “We hate because we don’t know, we are jealous because we don’t know, and we ostracize because we don’t know.\u003cbr\u003e “People who know each other well usually can’t do that.” (p. 248) “Nature is a place where those who have joined hands drive out the lone wolf who hasn’t even joined hands yet and live together” (p. 19). If you listen to his words, you will come to understand how to live together wisely. \u003cbr\u003e\"Choi Jae-cheon's Study\" is a life study book that goes beyond mere reading and inspires action.\u003cbr\u003e The book is permeated with this message:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Studying is not a simple process of learning and mastering academic subjects or skills.\u003cbr\u003e It's about rebuilding my rock-bottom self-esteem by looking into who I am and what I like.\u003cbr\u003e It is a willing effort to understand human society and nature, and a struggle to live with understanding and love for one another.\u003cbr\u003e This book is comprised of journalist Ahn Hee-kyung's in-depth questions and Professor Choi Jae-cheon's candid answers.\u003cbr\u003e As you follow the sentences in the book, you will encounter moments where the questions and answers of the two authors create a chemical reaction, and the reader will gradually find himself drawn into the book.\u003cbr\u003e I hope that “his life story of listening to the teachings of nature” (p. 307) will bring about “subtle changes” (p. 307) in your daily life. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 19, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover book binding method guide\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312 pages | 474g | 137*210*20mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9791173321405\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1173321403 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43893959589930,"sku":"112193","price":27.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/b8d6c009018f6df1337534314fc07a0b.jpg?v=1765426489","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/112193","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
