Into the book
Emotions are not just naturally occurring feelings.
Emotions are responses that involve choice.
When you can control your emotions, you avoid choosing negative emotions that dig your own grave.
(…) That is the essence of the freedom that an individual can enjoy.
--- p.19
Just as we have learned through education how to become offended, angry, hurt, and frustrated, we can also learn how to not choose those emotions that destroy us.
--- p.26
All that exists is this moment.
The future is just another present moment that we must face as it approaches.
One thing is clear.
You can't live in a moment until it reveals itself!
--- p.35
To achieve self-actualization, I must constantly remind myself that I am the master of my own mind and that I can control my emotions.
(…) I can choose and enjoy the present moments that are entirely mine.
The present is mine.
If only I could decide to be my own standard.
--- p.41
If I treat myself as unlovable or unvalued, it becomes impossible for me to love others.
How can I love others if I am worthless? (…) If I am worthless, my love will also be worthless.
--- p.48
My worth is determined by myself and I don't need to explain it to anyone.
My self-worth, which is an established fact, has nothing to do with my actions or feelings.
(…) it has nothing to do with my values.
--- p.51
Guilt means that you are stuck in the present moment, unable to move because of some action you did in the 'past'.
Worry, on the other hand, is a state of being restless in the present because of something that might happen in the 'future'.
--- p.114
The perfectionist mantra of “do your best” makes us cringe.
(…) Don’t take a bystander’s stance and avoid things that might be fun because of perfectionism.
Let's change "do your best" to just "do."
--- p.155
Indecision comes from the desire to be right.
(…) When making decisions, it becomes much easier and clearer once you throw away the standards of right and wrong.
--- p.173
Live each and every moment of your life to the fullest.
Then we can become happy egoists.
(…) How heartwarming it is.
You can be happy right now.
As much as you want!

Publisher's Review
“You are already valuable enough as you are.”
『The Happy Egoist』 Reissued!
I decided to be happy today!
10 Ways to Accept Your Body and Mind Just as They Are
These days, in our society, there is an increasing number of people who live according to their own life cycle, regardless of gender or age.
The biggest reason for this phenomenon is that there is a growing number of individuals who are unwilling to sacrifice the present for an uncertain future.
And at the end of these desires lies the innate human desire to be 'happy'.
Stories about happiness range from difficult philosophical theories of happiness to small thoughts on happiness.
And while happiness in reality is often translated into material values like money and social success, happiness is not guaranteed even for the rich or powerful.
So how can we become happy?
The only one I can trust is me
Pursue happiness for yourself thoroughly
This book says that people who value themselves are happy people and defines them as happy egoists.
Of course, selfishness here does not mean sacrificing others for my own benefit.
A happy egoist is someone who has his or her own standards for happiness, without being swayed by the opinions of others or the world.
We interfere in other people's lives in the name of concern, and we adjust our decisions to fit other people's ideas in the name of consideration.
As a result, I live a life that does not harm the peace of others, a life that satisfies the eyes of others, rather than the life I want.
But my life is entirely my own, and my thoughts are the greatest freedom given to an individual.
In my life, I have to be selfish to be happy.
All ten ways to become a happy selfish person presented here begin with mastering your own mind.
Ultimately, happiness begins with a mindset that centers solely on my own heart, not external factors.
※ 10 mindsets to become a 'happy egoist' ※
1.
Love me first
No one will value someone who values himself less.
My worth is not determined by the evaluation of others.
The degree to which I love myself determines my worth.
2.
Get out of the sight of others
Everyone has their own criteria for evaluation.
If you meet someone who doesn't agree with you, don't be afraid to accept them.
Half of the world thinks differently from me.
3.
Don't be tied down by the past
There is no innate nature.
This is just an excuse to avoid making an effort to change.
The only thing that stands in the way of my development is my past self.
4.
I don't blame myself or worry.
We all live in the present.
Guilt about the past and worry about the future are things we can never change.
The only thing we can change is the present.
5.
Enjoy new experiences
If you live today no different from yesterday, you are still stuck in yesterday.
It's okay not to do your best.
Just do it.
There is no need for any other reason to take on a new challenge.
If I want it, that's enough.
6.
The standard for all choices is me
There are no universal rules, laws, or standards.
Break free from the world's standards of right and wrong and act according to your own standards.
My life is what I live.
7.
Don't compare yourself to others
Unfortunately, the world is not fair.
Therefore, if I evaluate myself by the standards of an unfair world, I can never be happy.
Happiness and unhappiness are solely determined by my emotions.
8.
Act without delay
In fact, there is no such thing as procrastination.
I just didn't do it.
No matter how much you want it, nothing happens on its own.
A person who acts is a person who lives in the present.
9.
Don't depend on others
A mentally independent person does not necessarily need other people.
Live an independent life in an equal relationship.
If I am dependent on someone, I must first consider whether I am dependent.
10.
Don't be swept away by the anger inside me
Anger is never accidental.
It is an emotional response chosen by oneself when expectations are not met.
The stress that arises at this time eventually comes back to me.
※ Stories of people who found a new life after reading 『The Happy Egoist』 ※
· “I think I understand why this book became an international bestseller.”
· “It’s a guide that teaches me how to love and accept myself.”
· “It was a great help to me, who was very influenced by the environment and people around me.”
· “This book has allowed me to do what I truly want without being hurt by others.”
· “This book changed my life, teaching me methods I can put into practice starting today.”
The reason why readers are still so enthusiastic about this book, 50 years after its first publication and 20 years after its introduction in Korea, is because it presents a concrete, actionable manual on happiness.
You will experience an amazing change in your body and mind, free from the gaze of others and experiencing happiness that you had only felt abstractly.
