“I always wondered.
“Life as seen by a master.” - Yoon Tae-ho, author of [Misaeng]
It is self-evident that ‘thought’ is important.
Creativity, the ability to come up with novel ideas that never existed before, and positivity, the ability to discover possibilities even in life's adversities, all stem from thoughts.
How you think about yourself and the world can make a drastic difference in how your life looks.
It's a well-known fact, but how many people truly realize the importance of thinking and live their lives intensely 'thinking' every moment?
This book is a compilation of the power of thought and unique way of thinking that Cho Hun-hyun, who is celebrating his 61st year as a professional Go player, realized on the Go board.
He has experienced countless victories and defeats in the game of Go, which are decided solely by the power of thought, and has won more of those victories than anyone else in the world.
Cho Hun-hyun, who holds the unprecedented record of most wins (1,953) and most tournament titles (160), is a true master of thought.
In this book, he first personally recounted his life and revealed his own laws of thought.
His thoughts exerted their power in various ways according to the flow of life: the concentration that created breakthroughs even in unfavorable external circumstances, the resilience that helped him return from a slump in life to a second heyday, and the determination that allowed him to overcome immediate temptations and preserve greater values.
That is why he confidently asserts:
If you can properly establish your own way of thinking, you will never lose in any competition in life.
This special edition was published to commemorate the 100,000 readers who have been inspired by Cho Hun-hyun's way of thinking. A new prologue and epilogue include his thoughts on the 60th anniversary of his debut, as well as his reflections on the changes that have occurred amidst the transformations in which AI has defeated the world's best Go players.
The book also reflects changes made since the first edition was published, allowing it to convey Cho Hoon-hyun's thinking more accurately.
You will find that truly valuable thoughts transcend time and circumstances and influence all aspects of your life.

Into the book
For the days ahead, what we must do now is change our thinking.
It's about changing the way you think.
Changing your mind doesn't just mean changing your mind.
Amazingly, when you change your thoughts, your actions change, and even your results change.
The most powerful force that can maximize an individual's potential is thought.
--- p.12~13, from “The Power of Thinking Learned from the Go Board”
We all play our own game of Go every day in the realm of survival.
If I played one game of Go a day, how far would my Go game have progressed? No matter where I am, the game of Go called life never ends unless I throw a stone.
No matter what crisis you are in right now, there is still hope for survival.
According to what Baduk has taught me, there is no problem in the world that cannot be solved.
--- p.33, from “Thoughts Always Find Answers”
That's how the world of competition is.
No, regardless of the outcome, this is the world we live in.
The process is important, but the results are equally important.
If you can win, you must win.
To do that, you must not give up until the end and wait for an opportunity to turn things around.
The reason I held on wasn't because I had to win, but because I had hope that I still had a chance to win.
--- p.98, from “Those who do not give up create a reversal”
A strong person never makes excuses.
Those who work hard are confident even when they lose.
If I lose a match, it's because I'm less strong.
Just acknowledge it and try harder.
--- p.123, from “Etiquette for Fighting”
I don't think everyone should live to make money.
But if you have a dream, it's only natural to strive to reach higher.
Receiving better treatment and a higher salary means that my abilities are recognized.
Besides, I am proud to wear better clothes and live in a better house with the money I earned through my own abilities.
--- p.155, from “Reality Comes Before Dreams”
In Go, they teach you never to shake hands, but life is different.
There are times when you have to let go even though you know it's a handshake.
There are times when circumstances dictate that, but the bigger reason is to keep your beliefs.
--- p.189, from “When to Shake Hands for Faith”
Reviewing the victorious nations helps us develop winning habits, and reviewing the defeated nations helps us prepare for winning.
Review is not limited to Baduk.
Especially in the world of competition, review is fundamental.
It's about changing the way you think.
Changing your mind doesn't just mean changing your mind.

Publisher's Review
There is no problem in the world that cannot be solved.
Thoughts will always find answers
Although Cho Hun-hyun is praised as the 'Emperor of Baduk,' his life as a competitive player has been full of twists and turns.
The final five countries of the first Yingchang Cup, also known as his 'Emperor's Ascension to the Throne', were in fact a miracle.
At that time, Korean baduk was still on the periphery of the world, and the structure that everyone expected at the Baduk Olympics, the Ingchangchi Cup, was a two-way match between China and Japan.
In that unexpected match, he achieved a great turnaround by relying solely on his own ideas.
He boldly says that this day's achievement, which changed not only Cho Hoon-hyun's personal life but also the status of the entire nation, was a triumph of thought.
The tenacity to not give up, the ingenuity to surpass other experts, and the concentration to be completely immersed in the present moment… … .
It was a miracle that was possible because I had been constantly training all of these powers of thought.
Cho Hoon-hyun's thoughts didn't just shine in moments of glory.
Even during the time he considered the most difficult, the time when he was brought down by his disciple Lee Chang-ho, it was thought that held him together.
In the midst of the shock and confusion of having his titles taken away one by one by the young disciples he had personally raised, he went back into his thoughts to find his way.
He realized that winning or losing in life was not that important, and that he could now start anew. This change of mindset allowed him to experience the adage, “If you change your thoughts, the world will change.”
In this way, Cho Hun-hyun overcame his slump and added the record of being the oldest winner of a world championship (49 years and 10 months).
Cho Hoon-hyun's way of thinking, which has achieved countless victories in the turbulent battle of life with just one weapon: thought, is necessary for all of us living in these uncertain times.
His way of thinking creates once-in-a-lifetime opportunities in unexpected places and demonstrates incredible resilience even in times of crisis and hardship.
Although the specific aspects of life may differ, it is certain that right thinking is the most powerful resource in life.
This is why we need to learn the ‘thinking of experts’ now.
“The moment you throw the stone and leave, the game is over.
But there are still countless possibilities that we have yet to show you.”
There is not much we can control in life.
Even if you endlessly fulfill the demands of each stage of life, such as studying, getting a job, and getting promoted, life is still unstable.
The world changes so quickly that it is difficult to keep up, amplifying the uncertainty of life.
The only way to protect ourselves in this whirlpool is to center ourselves with our own way of thinking.
If I make my decisions without much thought and just follow what others do at the crossroads where I stand dozens of times a day, my life will never change.
Only those who develop their own way of thinking and are prepared to wake up and think at critical moments can produce extraordinary results in the same situation.
It is true that when your thoughts change, your actions change, and when your actions change, your life changes.
You will develop the ability to see the world from a broader and deeper perspective, and you will be able to focus and make creative and healthy decisions even under pressure from those around you.
Above all, I create my own path.
Cho Hoon-hyun's ideas not only brought him dramatic victories, but also helped him thoroughly reflect on his life's failures, establish a realistic and powerful sense of purpose, and understand and embrace the hearts of more people.
At any given moment, he made his own decisions, so he has no regrets regardless of the outcome.
And all of life shines with its own unique light.
Cho Hoon-hyun says:
“We are all forging our own path.
If you take a step forward today, you will definitely be able to go further than yesterday.
Let's play our own game of Go to the best of our ability with the great power of thought.
If we fought with all our might, then we won.”
The Legacy of Cho Hun-hyun, a Living Legend Who Climbed to the Top of the World Through the Power of Thought
10 Thought Rules to Elevate Your Life
The victories and defeats of life in the past, the circumstances and conditions given, have a greater impact on life than the individual moves I make right now.
That's why you have to put your mind to the best option every time.
The act of thinking may not feel special.
However, the thoughts of a person who devotes every day to thinking have extraordinary power.
A way of thinking that is refined in this way will become your own strength that no one can take away from you and will become your unshakable center.
The person who can be of the greatest help in establishing a new way of thinking is a senior who has dug a well of thought fiercely.
In this book, Cho Hoon-hyun reveals his life in detail for the first time and includes the core principles of thought he has discovered during his turbulent life.
“If you can win, win at all costs,” “In the world of competition, review is essential,” “If you want to beat time, take a walk first,” “Secure space for thinking,” etc. Cho Hoon-hyun’s 10 laws of thinking are a valuable guide for all those who want to develop their thinking.
Every great life begins with a great thought.
Start thinking properly from now on.
Think with all your might and devote yourself to making the best move at every moment.
If you develop your own way of thinking like a master, like Cho Hoon-hyun, you will soon see your life change.
“I urge you to pour everything you have into each day you live, as fiercely as you would into the game I am currently playing.” (From the text)
