Description
Book Introduction
It's not your ability that's holding you back from success, it's the wrong questions! Successful people think and act differently.


So what's the one mindset that will transform your life? Upgrade your life with author Song Min-gyu's intuitive strategies and the world's most accessible self-help book!

These days, there is a lot of talk about success in the world.
People often believe that "if you work hard, you'll get there," but in reality, successful people think and act in a completely different way.
Author Song Min-gyu, who wrote this book, does not simply provide motivation, but also presents specific strategies on how to change one's thinking.
As a mentor in the self-development field, I generously share the essence of life that I have learned, believed in, and practiced over a long period of time.

This book sharply dissects the 'obvious things' we have unthinkingly accepted, and provides a new perspective that transcends limitations.
It contains insights and practical advice that penetrate the vast mountain range of self-development, from the common mindset of successful people, the tremendous results created by small habits, and the ability to execute to drive change.
It will open up entirely new possibilities for readers who have never been able to take a single step forward using conventional methods.

This book may be the easiest self-help book in the world to read.
But it is by no means light.
Within it breathes the language of wisdom that will instantly upgrade your life.
There is another reason why your life is difficult.
Anyone can succeed if they grasp the essence.
And this book will be a solid guide along the way.

Into the book
They don't know anything about the ways of the world, and they don't think about who they are, why they were born, or what happens to them after they die, but they just complain that life doesn't go as planned.
Just as you can't build a car without any common sense about electricity, electronics, or machinery, it's difficult to live a truly happy life without knowing the basics of human nature.
The surest way to spot counterfeit money is to know exactly what is real.
If you want the success and happiness that everyone desires, it is possible if you know the principles of the world accurately.
--- p.6

Do you live with thoughts? Do you live with worries and concerns? Ask yourself this.
If you live without thinking and only follow your instincts, you cannot make much progress.
People live by exchanging their time, labor, and money.
The most expensive thing in the world is time.
Many people earn around 10,000 won per hour, but a small number of people who know how to think and act earn hundreds of thousands or even tens of millions of won per hour.
Enjoying the freedom of time.
Nowadays, the era where you could live well by studying hard is over.
Now is the time to add creative thinking and quick action.
--- p.16

I think I now clearly understand that I should work hard when I can, and that I should find happiness in the little things in my day.
But what about the remaining 10%? Have you ever thought about it? They work when they want, rest when they want, regardless of location or time, enjoy their work, and live each day happily.
Only when you are happy today can tomorrow's happiness be valuable.
--- p.54

People who are dissatisfied with their present life blame everything on others.
If you do that, you won't get a chance to correct your mistakes.
I hope you keep in mind that if you continue to live with such a flawed mindset, the real world will not change either.
I've seen this quote somewhere.
A negative person has done nothing, a positive person has no limits.
--- p.75

But now you must realize its essence.
Before money, fame, and health, awareness of the invisible comes first.
The moment you realize it, believe it, and become conscious of it, neither panic disorder nor suicide will ever be able to break you down again.
Now, we must become awakened people who see beyond common sense, not just remain within it.
--- p.115

What prompted you to write this book?
I used to think that most self-help books were difficult to write or didn't provide clear answers.
It feels like something really important isn't being said.
I wrote this because I wanted to let readers know that there is something more valuable than money.
---From "Author Interview"

When was the defining moment when you decided to change the way you thought and behaved?
About five years ago, I started to feel that spending the same day every day was meaningless.
After work, I felt like it was a waste of time to meet up with friends or seniors and juniors, drink with them, and laugh and chat about trivial topics.
It's not good for your health either.
I was tired of seeing myself like that.
I decided to change my life and went into my own cave.
Since then, I have been doing things that can help me develop myself.
---From "Author Interview"

What does your daily routine look like? I'm also curious about when you feel happiest.
I start my day by waking up at dawn and reading a book.
After finishing reading, I take a walk to reflect and pray, and then do some personal exercise for about an hour and a half.
The happiest moment is when I see my children's innocent faces.
And I also feel happy when I make what I planned into reality.
I was so happy to finish this book.
---From "Author Interview"

Lastly, is there anything you would like to say to your readers?
Everything in this world has an expiration date.
No matter how delicious or expensive the food is, it is worthless once it goes bad.
Likewise, I believe my writing also has an expiration date.
Because the meaning may change over time.
So, right now, I hope you will take action to make a change, even if it is just a little.
This could be your last chance.
---From "Author Interview"

Publisher's Review
Song Min-gyu's "The Key to Change" is a self-help book that helps you open a new life through a change in your thinking.
As a teacher who provides courage and the right direction to children and as a writer who dreams of a life beyond himself, he proposes a way to view the world from a different perspective than what has been done so far, based on his extensive experience and the broad wisdom he has gained from traveling to over 20 countries around the world.
Furthermore, it goes beyond general beliefs about 'success' and presents specific behavioral patterns that lead to real change.

The author wrote this book in the hope that people who have lost hope will approach the important values ​​of life and feel true happiness.
This book will serve as a solid guide for readers on their journey to ask questions, take action, and live the days given to them.
I hope this book will give you the courage to start a new life, even though you long for change and feel thirsty for another day like yesterday.
