Into the book
People who are good at empathy embrace others more deeply and broadly than others, so they try to take on even negative emotions like sadness and pain.
Even if someone betrays you, you try to understand their feelings, and even if an uncomfortable situation arises, you eventually endure it on your own.
Let's keep in mind that we can't understand everything, and we don't need to.
Otherwise, I will be wasting my life on others.

--- p.24

There is no need to be afraid of rejection.
Life becomes richer the more you say 'no' rather than 'yes'.
Saying no without hesitation is proof that you are living your life well.
The clearer your philosophy of life, the more you have to reject.
By saying no, we can focus on what we truly want and what's important.
In the process, life becomes more solid.

--- p.28

Just as when you watch a video, an algorithm continuously shows similar videos, human relationships are similar.
Depending on who I associate with, I tend to end up connecting with people who share similar bonds.
The books I read, the words I use frequently, and the beliefs and philosophies I pursue complete my current level and determine the limits of my interpersonal relationships.
To meet better people, you have to become a better person.

--- p.54

Every relationship begins with a beautiful heart that wants to help.
The world returns back to us the sincerity we give it.
If my words and actions become a light in someone's life, that light will one day reach my life and illuminate my darkest places.
If you want to achieve true growth, you must first have a kind heart that wants to help.
That heart is the beginning of all change.

--- p.62

The reason we keep expecting things from people and end up disappointed is because those expectations are directed at others.
It is wiser to expect one thing from yourself than to expect ten things from others.
Expectations from others often end in disappointment, but expectations from myself, even if they fail, accumulate as valuable experiences within me.
Only when my expectations are directed toward my own growth rather than toward others, do I become stronger.

--- p.78

The reason why someone talks bad about me behind my back is simple.
Because I don't have the courage to say it in front of others.
So there is no need to be swayed by those words or to try to explain them.
I have no obligation to prove myself or to convince him.
A person can only stay in a place that suits his level.
And if his place is 'behind' me, I don't have to look back.

--- p.124

As you live, you will meet rude people.
In such cases, it is best to treat them with appropriate courtesy.
He doesn't know he's being rude, so no matter how nicely you explain it to him, it won't work.
If he had known that his words and actions were rude, he would not have done them in the first place.
I can't solve a problem that even his family couldn't solve their entire lives.
So politeness is not an attitude for him, it is a choice for me.
Maintaining dignity in the face of rudeness is a good way to protect my heart.
--- p.172

Publisher's Review
★ The sequel to the popular bestseller, “100-Day Notebook to Fill Yourself with Adult Dignity”!

Adults with a philosophy of life are not shaken by interpersonal relationships!
The dignity of a relationship that maintains a line that is neither too close nor too far

One of the biggest concerns people face in life is the problem of interpersonal relationships.
The relationships surrounding us vary in degree and scope, from the relationships we share with each other every day, such as family, friends, lovers, colleagues, bosses, and juniors, to the social networks formed through social media and various gatherings.
The difficulties in relationships are bound to be different for each person.
Some people worry about why they keep getting hurt by other people, and others worry about having to force themselves into a relationship with someone they just can't communicate with.
Others wonder how to naturally take the lead in relationships while being liked by others.


Although the direction of our concerns may differ depending on our individual circumstances, personality, and age, if we trace back to the starting point, we all ultimately want to maintain our individuality without being swayed by relationships.
For this, more than anything else, a philosophy of life is needed.
An adult with a philosophy of life is not shaken by interpersonal relationships.
A true adult builds relationships wisely, knows how to protect himself within those relationships, and doesn't let problems that arise in those relationships bother him.
To become such a person, we must constantly ask ourselves, "How should I live?" and find the answer.
“100-Day Manual for Cultivating Adult Relationships” is the beginning of that journey.


“To meet a better person, become a better person!”
A 100-day journey to reflect on the essence of deep human relationships.

The desire not to be hurt by others, not to be burdened by others anymore, and not to be swayed by relationships usually leads us to distance and detachment.
The author also says that in order to focus on what is important and valuable, we need to wisely weed out the unnecessary things.
This book is full of valuable wisdom that will serve as a guide for the future, such as what to do when encountering rude people, what mindset to cultivate to avoid wasting your life on others, and how to deal with being constantly conscious of other people's gaze.


But can this truly be said to be the entirety of human relationships? On the one hand, the author points out our biased perspectives and reflects on the intricate nature of human relationships, which we must not overlook.
As emphasized in the book, just as important as getting rid of unnecessary relationships is having a sincere attitude.
"The world returns the sincerity you give it," "Live with the intention of helping others! Then, the number of people who know you will increase, not just the number of people you know!" These are examples of true adult interpersonal skills that encourage goodwill, kindness, and generosity.
Now let's meet the value of sincerity that leads to change in relationships.


The sentences I write become my attitude towards life!
Sentences that help me find myself in a world of others

The author emphasizes that “writing is the process of filling ourselves with the language that contains the souls of others, and through that process, we can learn a broader and deeper affection.”
The author's previous work, "100-Day Handwritten Notes to Fill Up Adult Dignity," was loved by numerous readers because the book provided a time for reflection and allowed readers to reflect on a dignified life.
The author's second 100-day writing collection, "100-Day Writing Collection for Cultivating Adult Relationships," contains sentences that capture the essence of human relationships.


As you transcribe this book, don't just copy the sentences; engrave them in your heart so that they become your attitude toward life.
Whenever I feel shaken in a relationship, handwritten sentences will hold me back.
It will be your compass when you lose your way, and it will quietly comfort you when you are hurt by others.
Now, let's cultivate more diverse interpersonal relationships through sentences that will help me find myself in the world of others.
