Save my life

Description
Book Introduction
- A word from MD
-
Just one person needs to change, you alone.A new work by Gary Bishop, who gave us a hard time with his book, "The Art of Starting."
This time, I'm speaking to those who are passive bystanders to their own lives, living helplessly due to past failures.
If I abandon my life, I'll only be a loss in this world! Let's take control of our lives and take back control, so we can move forward without hesitation, no matter what the circumstances.
April 3, 2020. Self-Development PD Park Jeong-yoon
What on earth is holding you back from making your resolutions?
When you don't doubt yourself
Changes that are finally possible
We make serious resolutions, make pledges, and even set priorities, but in the end, we live today like yesterday without making any significant changes.
However, sometimes I get inspired by seeing colleagues who have succeeded in investing, friends who seem happy, or celebrities who have successfully dieted, and I start making plans again.
I close my diary excitedly, lost in my imagination, as if I were already close to achieving my goal, but my determination is only for that moment, and I live as I always have, as if nothing had happened.
Unless you're consciously sabotaging your success, unless you're determined to destroy everything you've built, why do your firm resolutions always come to nothing?
Why do I keep repeating the same damn regrets?
The author points out that it is the 'subconscious mind' that shakes and disturbs you at every crucial moment.
In "Saving My Life," we examine the traces of self-sabotage that arise from this subconscious from various perspectives.
Furthermore, it connects your 'problems' from the past to the present in one line through persuasive examples.
It teaches you how to interpret vicious cycles and make the fundamental changes needed to get your life back on track.
Through such discoveries, you will finally come to understand yourself properly.
“I strongly recommend this to people who keep breaking their resolutions and are tired of doing useless things on their own.
“This book is an incredibly refreshing self-help book,” “I’ve read all of Gary Bishop’s books, and it’s no exaggeration to say they’re both absolute home runs.
Reviews such as “It provides a much-needed reality lesson to countless broken souls and stubborn people” prove why this book is necessary for those who still sabotage themselves countless times in small and trivial ways.

index
Chapter One
My goal is to change just one person.
It's you
If life is hard for you, it really is.
The habit of gently pushing dead cockroaches under the carpet
If you understand what kind of sabotage you are putting on yourself
Maybe I'll wake up just before I die.
It's already too late
Chapter Two
Do what you said you would do
Trying something even when you really don't want to do it
Yes, that's right.
You just have one more thing to put off.
Are we just… … doomed?
Things you can't do because of your desire to survive
Invisible rules determine your path.
Chapter Three
I'm sick of everything.
Because I'm getting older
I just lived day by day, but why did my life turn out like this?
Many things are trapped in holes big and small
If you spend your whole life hoping to be happy
A firm determination to not live the way I have lived so far
Chapter Four
Trying to understand this corner of the house that I was thrown into unwillingly
We try our best
If you grew up in sunny California
A life that does not go beyond the range of possibilities you have inherited
Do you still think your parents should have been better?
Trying to figure out who to blame won't solve anything.
Chapter Five
That doesn't mean I always
I hope it doesn't make you a victim.
We only see the truth from our own perspective.
It's all your fault now
How to Make Life Insignificant
Chapter Six
In your life
A conclusion that is persistently repeated
Things you say to yourself when no one is watching
What do you really need to overcome?
A life where I gave up on being loved again
Be honest with yourself.
Master the conclusion
Chapter Seven
forever lying on thin ice
Your Others
To protect yourself, you worry about 'things going well'
You're out! You're out! You're out again!
If you get angry because of other people's anger, if you resent other people's resentment,
People don't care about anyone but themselves.
Chapter Eight
We are chained to life, trapped for life.
Make it yourself
A person who lives to prove the conclusion that 'life is hard'
Intelligence and intuition are actually curses.
There is no need for tragedy or misfortune.
Because you are already a victim
What does life mean to you?
Chapter Nine
What have you done in life?
You have to open both eyes and look straight ahead
Something you can't get, but already have
We must face failure, regret, resentment, and sometimes even despair.
Just as you don't feel bad about admitting your foot size,
Everyone lives with a shadow
Chapter Ten
Look to the future, not the past
The outcome of the decision maker
If you are belittling your life because of a petty person you met yesterday
Stop gaining insight from the past
They set deadlines for impossible projects, shamelessly.
Michelangelo's David was already completed.
Chapter Eleven
When you don't doubt yourself
Changes that are finally possible
Life is one giant experiment
Even on a day that is ruined, my heart is turned towards the future
You are not broken.
There is nothing to fix
My goal is to change just one person.
It's you
If life is hard for you, it really is.
The habit of gently pushing dead cockroaches under the carpet
If you understand what kind of sabotage you are putting on yourself
Maybe I'll wake up just before I die.

Into the book
I dedicate this book to those who have no hope, to those who are frustrated and defeated.
You can start anew from today.
I'm not interested in your past.
So don't be interested in the past either.
--- p.5
Just because you don't like one aspect of yourself doesn't mean you can just become another.
You can't just skip the necessary steps.
Emotionally, it's like sweeping a dead cockroach under the carpet before your friend comes over.
Even though it may look fine on the outside, you know that inside there is a dead cockroach there.
Our hearts are the same.
Even if you sweep negative emotions under the mental carpet, deep down you know they're not true.
I know what's closer to the truth.
It's like lying to yourself but not believing it.
--- p.19
I am not so arrogant as to think that I can solve the puzzles that have plagued countless philosophers, scientists, and great scholars.
My goal is to change just one person.
It's you.
That's all.
If you're reading this and wondering how to apply it to your lover, spouse, father, friend, boss, ex-husband, or ex-wife, you're completely out of your mind.
This book is for you and about you.
--- p.20
You are not fully awake.
Not waking up to your potential.
You are not conscious of anything that would reveal your existence.
You're not doing the life-changing things that will make all of this worthwhile.
When you think you are 'awake', you are actually asleep.
Maybe you'll wake up just before you die.
But by then it was already too late.
--- p.25
If you use that kind of shallow reasoning to justify yourself when you need to make real changes in your life, you won't make even the slightest difference.
--- p.33
Instead of saying, "I'm a procrastinator," you should say, "I procrastinate."
You are not a 'person', you just do something.
So if that's just what you're doing, then you should do something else.
This is not a health characteristic, disease, or something you 'have'.
It's not some damn 'disease'.
--- p.35
You predict love, you predict your finances, you predict the weather, you predict politics, you predict health, you predict careers, you predict everything.
You already have an idea of how it all will turn out.
All these things are created mechanically, subconsciously.
There are even many things in life that you don't even try because you've already concluded they're a waste of time.
'It's obvious.'
--- p.41
It is not your decisions, your circumstances, or even your 'luck' that determine the direction of your life.
Luck is an expression of those who cannot define their own success.
If you can't clearly define your success, you'll never be able to replicate it.
--- p.53
Like most other people, you just let life drift by.
You never really intervened while life flowed in a chaotic manner from one drama to another.
I'm not trying to belittle you, I'm just saying that it's time to acknowledge something.
Whatever we did or didn't do in the past didn't have enough real power to bring about change in reality.
If you really want to end this, you need to be determined.
Finally, you must firmly establish within yourself the idea that you can no longer continue living the life you have been living so far.
Now is the time to intervene.
Stop drifting.
--- p.69
Even if you consider yourself a complete loner, you need a background of others to make you one.
Even private life is public.
You are a person with a private life in public.
Privacy is a very public declaration to others.
'Do not trespass.
'Get out of here.' 'Damn it!' I know.
You may have thought you had hidden it and kept it well hidden all this time.
Sorry, but everyone is watching.
--- p.120
The most important thing here is that no one came to this conclusion.
You are not a victim of your past.
You are not a victim until you decide to be one.
If this sounds awkward, realize that you are just being stubborn and wanting to be called a victim.
No one but you can tell if you are a victim or not.
In this case, the person who made your life what it is now is you, and only you.
--- p.123
Often you worry about whether things will 'go well' in a relationship or on a first date.
They also worry about speaking in front of people in meetings, calling their credit card company, or talking to senior executives via video conference.
Some people worry about being the center of attention at weddings, and some worry about waiting in line at the supermarket.
But are these situations truly situations where you should switch on survival mode? You're stuck confirming the conclusions you've drawn about people.
You can start anew from today.
I'm not interested in your past.
So don't be interested in the past either.
--- p.5
Just because you don't like one aspect of yourself doesn't mean you can just become another.

Publisher's Review
“People without a hill to climb, without hope,
I dedicate this book to those who are frustrated and defeated.
I'm not interested in your past.
So, don't be interested in the past either."
Stop fooling around!
From everything that disturbs me
How to Take Back Control of Your Life
★★★★★ The latest work from the author of the million-seller 『The Art of Starting』!
Are you not making any effort at all for a better future?
Are you content to live an unsatisfactory life because you really don't put in the effort?
I can say no unequivocally.
We try.
I worry about things from time to time, look through famous books, and often make grand plans.
But the desire to stay always wins over the determination to live differently.
Like you this morning.
In fact, perhaps you have never properly intervened while life flows by without any order.
I'm not trying to belittle you, I'm just saying that it's something that needs to be acknowledged.
Whatever you did or didn't do in the meantime didn't have enough real power to bring about change in reality.
If you really want to end this, you need to be determined.
You must firmly establish within yourself the idea that you can no longer continue the life you have been living so far.
Introduced as an independent publication, word of mouth spread among readers, and the success of her debut book, Unfu*k Yourself, which sold over a million copies in the United States alone, has led to the publication of her second book, Stop Doing That Sh*t.
In this book, author Gary Bishop compellingly conveys the deepest struggles within our subconscious, leading to inner reconciliation for fundamental change.
Also, “Don’t think of yourself as a broken chair.
It encourages those who lack self-confidence with the message, “Let the past be the past and move on to the future,” and offers ways to live the life you’ve long wanted but never thought you could have.
Stop drifting.
Now is the time to step into your life.
In regret, in anxiety, in apathy, in the backward past
How would life be different if we could avoid being obsessed?
The strength to move forward even on days when everything is ruined
Do you believe you've ruined your life because you were born into financial hardship, never received proper fatherly love, your parents divorced, were bullied at school, or someone betrayed your trust? Is that true? There's a reason why it's so difficult for you to break free from the trap of your mind, trapped in the past.
Because as we live day to day, there are so many cases where this trap just seems okay.
How would life be different if we could stop being trapped by regret, anxiety, helplessness, and the past?
Have you ever felt like you were stuck in a destructive cycle that kept you from living the life you truly wanted?
This book is comprised of stories that you need to know if you've ever tried to get what you want, only to find it slipping away, or if you've ever seen a glimmer of hope only to find it crumbling down in an instant.
Gary Bishop offers a practical opportunity for change for those who feel like their lives aren't going their way and don't know what's wrong or where to start again, and those who think, "I'm a bit of a negative person," but never quite figure out where their self-destructive thoughts are coming from or what the problem is in the process, and who just keep retracing and crushing it.
This will finally give you the motivation to move forward even on days when everything seems to have gone wrong.
The real breakthrough is in the things life throws at you.
It doesn't react mechanically, it only happens when you intervene.
Something I thought I could never have
How to live that life
In the first place, there is no such thing as a ‘person who puts off what needs to be done.’
There is no such thing, asserts author Gary Bishop.
What exists is 'someone who occasionally procrastinates on doing certain things.'
So instead of saying, "I'm a procrastinator," you should say, "I procrastinate."
You are not a 'person', you just do something.
So if that's just what you're doing, then you should do something else.
Yeah, you might have screwed yourself up a bit in the past.
But what does it mean? Guided by Gary Bishop, as we navigate the essential process of self-sabotage, we uncover the underlying anxieties that are stirring our hearts.
Those subtle fluctuations are the real goals you must overcome.
Only by facing and overcoming it can you make the know-how for change and success your own.
Most of what you have accomplished in life so far has been accompanied by some degree of discomfort, pain, or stress.
Whatever you want to achieve in life right now, you need to be willing to endure some difficult, even burdensome, experiences.
In many ways, the very insistence that you want to change comfortably is what is holding you back.
Maybe you'll wake up just before you die.
But by then it was already too late.
True breakthroughs only come when you intervene and don't mechanically react to what life throws at you.
You have the answer.
As always.
