Kim Kyung-il's Psychology Reunited
 |
Description
Book Introduction
Do people never change throughout their lives?
Can you be successful doing something you hate?
Can parents change their children's personalities?
“The answer begins with knowing myself!”
Changing people's 'thinking habits' for 20 years
Professor Kim Kyung-il, a leading cognitive psychologist in Korea
How to Become a Better You and Get Along Well with Others
Anxiety and depression, relationship stress, and distance from others.
The author states that the root of all emotions is "an imbalance stemming from not knowing myself." EBS's "My Second Textbook Season 2," "Kim Kyung-il's Psychology Revisited," is a journey to restore that balance.
A journey to know oneself, understand others, and find ways to live harmoniously in the world.
He meticulously analyzes the common psychological patterns of successful people and clearly identifies the habits we must boldly abandon and the attitudes we must keep in our hearts.
The art of maintaining a healthy distance that reduces interpersonal fatigue, the natural way of speaking and expressing oneself in a favorable light, and even the delicate mannerisms that open the other person's heart.
His language is realistic and warm.
But he doesn't turn a blind eye to the dark side of humanity.
It explains the dark triangle personality disorder, represented by 'psychopathy', in language that anyone can understand, and clearly shows which relationships among the people around us should be maintained and which relationships should be resolutely cut off.
His firm voice, saying, "Even family members may not be good people," reminds us that the beginning of a true relationship is determination and courage.
In the latter half, his gaze expands beyond the individual to society and other people.
It delicately captures the Korean sentiment and the culture of "us" to understand others and live together, and shows that growing older is not a simple decline, but rather a process of becoming stronger and deeper.
Ultimately, the message the author wants to convey is summarized as one.
'The wisdom of life begins with the courage to know myself.'
After taking his class, the complicated world becomes a little simpler, and life becomes a story worth living once again.

Into the book
The desire to be good to everyone can ultimately lead to losing yourself.
Accepting the fact that "I may be a good person to some people, but not to others" is the starting point of a wise life.
--- From "Lecture 1: Do I Know My Personality? / The Condition of a Good Person is 'Sense of Distance'"
People who are actually talented in music are very sensitive to even the smallest mistakes when playing an instrument and feel anxious.
Even great painters complain of considerable discomfort with just one brush that doesn't fit them.
So, if I'm feeling particularly anxious about something, that moment could actually be an opportunity to discover my potential.
--- From "Is there a way out of anxiety and depression? / The correlation between sensitivity and anxiety"
So when do I admire myself? It's when I feel like I'm "growing."
Rather than a competitive hobby, I need a hobby that allows me to feel the joy of growth through the process of learning and discovering new things I didn't know before.
--- From "3 Ways to Overcome Stress and Loneliness / Breaking Free from a Life Obsessed with Seeking Others' Admiration"
Check in with yourself to see what your dreams are, what your goals are, and if you have both, whether you have a specific plan to achieve them.
Psychologists say that this virtuous cycle is what success looks like.
--- From "The Essential Conditions for a Successful Life in the Semifinals / Setting Priorities First"
So, it is natural and important to seek professional help to break the cycle of addiction.
And family and friends also need to work together to solve problems by sharing responsibility and pain, with the help of experts.
--- From "Can You Break 5 Bad Habits? / Do You Really Need Professional Help to Break an Addiction?"
Authenticity is not just about being honest.
Authenticity is what emerges when you express what you want with dignity, honesty, and wit.
--- From "What makes a person likeable in the top 6? / To get a like, have 'this'"
Emotions like fear, anxiety, and surprise are natural reactions and do not mean you are weak.
But having the courage to break off a relationship is a separate decision.
--- From "Lesson 7: Should Bad People Be Avoided Unconditionally? / Psychopathy: The Worst Personality Disorder in Humanity"
The most important thing of all is to become a person who can respect myself.
This respect comes not from the wealth I possess or the assets that make people around me envious, but from the fact that I am constantly growing.
Please don't forget that a life of constant learning, challenge, and achievement is the most powerful weapon that can protect you.
--- From "On the happiness and unhappiness that comes from love and family in the 8th quarter / Characteristics of people targeted by bad people"
To truly understand Koreans, we need a more nuanced perspective and a framework for understanding.
We must remember that Koreans are not a culture without self that simply follows trends and pursues a stereotypical life, but rather a culture with a fierce ego that constantly seeks to confirm its own position in the process of following trends and pursuing a stereotypical life.
--- From "Lesson 9: How to Live as a Korean in Korea / Koreans Who Value Relationship Culture"
People who become wiser as they age don't limit themselves with standards like, "Why should I do this?" or "Is it really necessary to do this?"
We are constantly seeking out new things, meeting new people, and broadening our horizons in life.

Publisher's Review
“Why am I always in the same place?”
When your mind is at a standstill and needs to be organized,
Psychology classes to help me become a better person
The author says there is something he does whenever he feels anxious.
That's just a 'coin flip'.
If the front side comes out, organize your computer folders, and if the back side comes out, organize your desk drawers.
After organizing such a small space, your brain thinks, 'I am an organized person.
It is said that when you feel that you are 'prepared', your actions and thoughts become clearer.
The amazing sense of stability that comes from small actions that make things that seemed impossible possible.
What this book is trying to convey is ultimately connected to that principle.
Knowing myself, understanding others,
How to maintain harmonious relationships within the confines of society
The author says:
Everything doesn't start with grand resolutions, but with organizing a small folder called 'me'.
Who am I, and how can I deal with the anxiety, depression, frustration and worry within me?
As you sweep away the dust of your heart, which was invisible to you, one by one, you will stand again as a 'slightly better you', wearing the clothes of success, adding the accessories of good habits, and bearing the fragrance of goodwill.
Growing up like that, I learned to balance relationships.
I learned to distance myself from people who tire me out and surround myself with good people.
In the end, what matters is not changing others, but becoming a good person myself so that only good people remain by my side.
The author clearly explains this simple yet essential truth with the keyword, “the courage to know myself.”
As always, the author's lectures are not difficult.
Instead of complex theories, we deliver psychology that can be applied directly to everyday life in a fun and warm way.
Even amidst anxiety, stress, and relationship fatigue, we can still stand strong, he says, and that life's wisdom doesn't come from grand changes, but from small habits that clear our minds.
The message that 'getting to know myself is the beginning of life' ultimately contains everything the author wants to convey.
After reading this book, your anxiety, regrets, and misunderstandings about others will feel a little less heavy, and a part of your mind will feel calm and collected.
Whenever your heart feels heavy again, why not recall this feeling from today?
No matter how complicated life gets, if we have a strong center called 'I', we can always start over.
