The perfect study method
Description
Book Introduction
We live our lives studying for countless tests, such as the CSAT, civil service exam, and TOEIC exam.
And beyond these exams, we must also consistently study life and growth skills such as empathy, interpersonal relationships, creativity, collaboration, speaking, and decision-making to achieve a good school life, a competitive career, a successful startup, and a healthy retirement.
"The Perfect Study Method" is a book that addresses "how to study" to help readers achieve success and growth.


This book incorporates not only a scientific approach based on theories uncovered in education, cognitive psychology, brain science, and behavioral economics, but also practical know-how accumulated through consultations with thousands of students and working professionals.
This book, written by two distinctly different learners—one who completed an elite PhD program and the other who studied independently outside the system—accounts for the concerns of almost all learners.


Why do we study? Is studying a talent or a matter of effort? How do we gain motivation? How do emotions influence learning? How can we overcome test anxiety? This book addresses these concerns for learners through scientific evidence and practical examples.
It also includes new study knowledge and information that general learners may not know, and provides specific methodologies to provide direct assistance.
Through this book, readers will be able to develop the optimal study method that suits them.
A word from the North Sommelier!

This book is a study guide that helps everyone, from students to working professionals, study properly.
We will help you succeed and grow by introducing how to study rather than what to study.
