“There comes a time when everyone transforms into a butterfly.
Experience the butterfly effect, where life becomes filled with ‘me’!”
This book is a highly original self-help book written by Ozan Barol, a world-renowned innovation expert who is a rocket scientist, lawyer, and former law school professor known for his best-selling book, Think Like a Rocket Scientist. It is a book that provides amazing inspiration so that each of us can rediscover the value and potential that lies within ourselves and unleash the creativity that only we possess.
Most people live their lives without knowing how extraordinary they are.

The author, an expert in creative thinking and change who has personally demonstrated multifaceted innovation through constant transformation across the humanities and sciences, tells us that genius is not reserved for a special and intelligent few, but can be awakened by anyone who reflects on their own thoughts and environment and seeks to change them. He examines and examines these immutable laws one by one.

Into the book
In fact, our past becomes our future.
It's about doing something today based on the choices you made earlier.
By reproducing yesterday, we can expect a predictably identical tomorrow.
As children, we were often told to not make a fuss and to behave naturally in line with others.
We have been defined as people who have beliefs that are not our own.
We increasingly find ourselves walking the worn-out paths of others rather than our own.
We just follow others without knowing who we are or where we want to go.
And I always color based on sketches drawn by someone else.
As a result, we end up living our lives as supporting actors.
--- p.8~9
It's easy to confuse your identity with your ego, but in reality, your identity can obscure your ego.
So you believe that your identity is yourself, but in reality, that identity is preventing you from becoming yourself.
Your eating habits, your political affiliation, your resume or LinkedIn profile are not who you are.
The house you own or the car you drive is not you.
(…) The less self-fulfilling prophecies you have about yourself, like, ‘I am one person,’ the more freely you can return to your true self.
--- p.44~45
Even if the ice cream cone melts a little, just leave it alone.
If something bad happens, just let it be.
'Bad things' come in all different degrees.
Not all bad things happen to the same degree.
Some things are bad enough to lead to catastrophe, but others are just bad enough to not have any long-term consequences.
Ask yourself this:
"Is this a little bad or a really bad thing?" "What if I ignore this?" "What might happen, and how likely is it?" Only when you let slightly bad things happen can you achieve great things.
--- p.95~96
When people ask me, I always say blue, even though my real favorite color is purple.
Blue is the color that normal boys like, and I really wanted to be a normal boy.
Shortly after I first met my wife, Cathy, she asked me:
“What is your favorite color?” I almost said “Blue” without realizing it, but I swallowed it and returned to my original self.
“It’s purple.
“I love purple.” Cathy looked at me and smiled her signature beautiful, infectious smile.
“I’ve always wanted to marry a man who likes purple.” At that moment, I finally knew I belonged to someone.
--- p.114
Computer algorithms aren't simply checking trends.
It also creates trends.
Create a personalized reality for yourself, and that reality will influence not only how you see the world, but also how you see yourself.
In exchange for this convenience, we lose our freedom of choice.
We are locked in a prison without intellectual freedom, and we don't even realize it.
You have to answer the following questions for yourself, which most people who are accustomed to convenience find difficult to answer:
"What do I really want to learn? What interests me, not others?" --- p.302-306
The transformation from caterpillar to butterfly does not happen immediately.
A caterpillar does not run away from itself.
Rather, it becomes oneself.
Embody yourself.
The caterpillar remains inside the chrysalis, tending to its desolate environment, and discovering its own adult plates to form what it needs to become a butterfly.
You may not know it yet, but right now, inside you, the adult butterflies are preparing to become butterflies.
So, say thank you and send me the larva.
As a new self emerges from the chrysalis, endless possibilities will emerge.
You now have wings and can fly in a million different directions.

Publisher's Review
Another masterpiece following the global bestseller "Moonshot"
★ Wall Street Journal Bestseller ★
★ Highly recommended by Adam Grant and Daniel Pink ★
“You are overflowing with untapped wisdom within you!”
A fascinating journey about the opportunity and possibility that anyone can become a genius.
Think of each of us as individual puzzle pieces that fit together to form a beautiful whole.
When you look at each puzzle piece, each one is unique and each one is important.
The entire puzzle cannot be completed with just billions of identically shaped and colored puzzle pieces.
Because each puzzle piece is different in shape and color, the entire puzzle is also valuable.
If you try to imitate other puzzle pieces or fit yourself into other puzzle pieces, the world will lose its uniquely beautiful shapes and colors.
That's why creating your own unique shape and color can be so extraordinary.
Ozan Barol, a world-renowned innovation, change, and motivational expert, author, and speaker, returns with a book filled with surprising and original insight, following up on Moonshot: 9 Ways Rocket Scientists Think to Get Bigger in Extreme Situations.
The author explores how individuals can awaken themselves and their own extraordinary qualities in their everyday lives, each from their own unique position.
Many people who are capable of being smart should not just compromise and change like supporting actors to fit the standards of others, but should not be lazy in their efforts to find their true selves and change.
We inherit a certain degree of identity from our parents when we are born, but as we live, we define and limit ourselves based on the environment, roles, careers, and characteristics that surround us, creating an identity that says, "I am a ~ person."
But are unquestionable definitions like "I'm a conservative" or "I'm a vegan" truly the essence of who I am? The author advises against conflating your current thoughts and beliefs with your identity.
The less self-fulfilling prophecies we have, the less certain we are about what we believe, and the more open we are to diverse perspectives, the more we can return to our natural, freer selves.
This is the starting point for rediscovering your inner genius.
“Creativity is returning to my original self,
“The lost genius within me is discovered when I am at my most self-confident!”
In the 1930s, Gillian Lynn was a troubled child suspected of having ADHD before the term even existed.
But the doctor didn't name Lin as having a 'difficult to resolve' condition.
Instead of automatically prescribing medication, he followed his intuition.
He turned on the radio and told Lin's mom to go out.
As the music started to flow, Lin's body began to move, and she couldn't contain her excitement, dancing and shaking the whole room.
The doctor, who had been watching Lin dance, looked at her mother and said:
“There is nothing wrong with that child.
You're a natural dancer.
“I need to get her to take dance classes right away.”
Lin's life changes overnight with the doctor's prescription.
When Lin arrived at the dance school, she discovered that the room was filled with people just like her, and she became a dancer for the rest of her life.
“I danced with the Royal Ballet and choreographed the longest-running musicals in Broadway history, Cats and The Phantom of the Opera,” says Lynn.
“I have ADHD, but I have been a dancer my whole life, and it’s all thanks to that doctor.”
Like a doctor's words that changed a child's life, this book awakens readers to the work of overturning their past beliefs and convictions, one by one, so that they can unleash their inherent potential.
It provides a small but crucial shift in awareness about how to think independently and creatively, and how to unleash your own potential creativity, without being confined by your own pre-existing beliefs or the framework of knowledge you believe you know.
Through the examples and advice of many people in various fields, it shows in detail ways to live a much richer and more useful life, such as following your body rather than your thoughts, sometimes just letting go, intentionally procrastinating, getting out of your comfort zone and doing something unfamiliar, focusing on things that will last rather than new things, not following other people's choices or advice and questioning whether the majority opinion is the right answer, and acknowledging what you don't know and embracing diversity.
Among the greetings of the Zulu people of South Africa, there is a word called 'saubona'.
It means 'I see you', and it goes beyond just looking at you, but also recognizing your perspective, individuality, and dignity as they are.
It means that even if you have different opinions, you don't point them out or try to change them, but rather acknowledge their diversity and watch them with curiosity.
It means choosing to see properly in a world that has stopped seeing properly.
When we look at the world, other people, and ourselves with such an open perspective, the change that leads to finding our true selves can begin.
A time to rediscover 'me' with new possibilities
An inner quest to create a better present and future for myself.
This book is divided into five parts.
First, in Part 1, 'Death', the parts of oneself that are not one's true self are removed one by one.
It explores how our education and environment have killed our creativity, how our identities, beliefs, and careers have caused us to lose our true selves, and how we can make informed choices to focus on what matters.
In Part 2, 'Birth', you will find your way back to your true self.
Learn to discover and diversify your inner uniqueness and characteristics, the basic elements that make up who you are.
You will discover your own life purpose and learn how to create your own door.
Part 3, 'Inner Journey', ignites true creativity.
Learn to come up with original ideas, tap into your inner wisdom to create something from nothing, and unlock hidden insights through play.
Whether it's a book, a business, or a groundbreaking idea, you'll be armed with practical strategies to create your own significant work.
Part 4, 'External Journey', explores the external world and seeks to find a balance between the inner and outer worlds.
You'll learn how to avoid the tyranny of the new, the comfortable, and the popular, how to see what others don't, how to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, and how to stop blindly believing other people's success stories and advice and stop comparing yourself to others.
In the final part 5, 'Transformation', you will think about your future.
You will come to understand why your safety net can actually be a straitjacket, why a cautious life is no better than a half-dead life.
What makes you truly you? What are the true essences that fill me? Just as a caterpillar endures the hardships of a harsh environment and transforms into a butterfly, this book will guide you to discover that you.
It will help you learn to let go of what doesn't serve you and discover the traits that make up your inner genius.
It will also help you break free from old habits and self-imposed prisons, allowing you to realize your true insights that spring from deep within yourself, and become the foundation for change.
