Description
Book Introduction
“How much do I know myself?”
A message from Beomjun, a youth mentor whose career concerns have become his career path.
56 career journeys of self-understanding, self-adventure, and career exploration!
The career exploration change growth mind book “The compass shakes and finds direction” published by Mind Cube, written by Kim Beom-jun, director of the Change Growth Research Institute, who has been providing career education and counseling for 10 years to help teenagers and young adults wandering due to “career worries” find their own path and choose “the work they want to do,” is making its first appearance in the world.
Based on the author's autobiographical experience of over ten years of career concerns, "The Compass Shakes and Finds Direction" contains the author's unique warm, caring, and encouraging gaze that embraces the reality of the worries and frustrations of wandering young people.
This book is a collection of the author's own countless times of worry and frustration regarding his own 'career path' and 'growth', and the times of growth he spent pondering what conditions and mindset a 'branch that blooms while swaying' must have to truly bloom before the world.
Above all, the core of 'finding your own path' that the author emphasizes is that you can find your own path through the process of 'knowing yourself and sincerely thinking about what you want to do.'
The core of career exploration, which is spread out over three large yards, starts with 'self-understanding' in the first, 'self-care' in the second, and 'self-adventure' in the third, but the core of all stories is focused on 'how well I know myself, how I can encourage myself, and how I can have the courage to go out into the world based on this.'
In "The Compass Shakes and Finds Direction," the author honestly and truthfully shows readers his struggles, frustrations, and continuous failures.
He repeatedly emphasizes that even if you lack self-understanding, burnout, or moments of frustration, you can overcome them if you have your own encouragement and rituals to get through them.
Through this, the process of discovering one's talent as a storyteller and developing it to complete a beautiful narrative of growth as one's own career guidance coach and career story instructor convincingly shows readers the know-how on how to create one's own path.
"The Compass Shakes and Finds Direction" is the most honest and affectionate career guidebook that presents "my own compass" at the crossroads of life.
These days, many young people feel complicated just hearing the word 'career path'.
Concerns about what to do in the future, whether this path is right, and whether it is okay to continue doing this come up suddenly regardless of age or situation.
This book gently tells us, as we go through these shaky times, that "it's okay to be shaky."
Rather, the author emphasizes that it is in that shaking that one can meet one's true self and find one's own direction.
This book is a warm, encouraging song of life, filled with the practical insight and deep affection for people that Mr. Beomjun, a career educator and director of the Change and Growth Research Institute, has accumulated over a long period of time while working with countless teenagers, young adults, and others who are deeply concerned about their career paths.
This book, which carefully offers readers practical, essential food for thought rather than theoretical advice, reads like the quiet encouragement of an older brother sitting next to you, quietly thinking things through with you, and aims to serve as a correct compass for readers' frustrating and itchy 'career worries.'

Publisher's Review
Find your own path and move towards it
Career Guidance, Self-Understanding, Change and Growth Mindbook
“I believe that as we go through life, we can always become better, and that there is always a better way.
And if you always try to be better than who you are now,
“I will love myself very much someday.”
- Change management thinker Koo Bon-hyung
Self-understanding, self-care, and self-adventure: three conditions for a truly authentic life.
Author Kim Beom-jun emphasizes that "everyone, regardless of age, is concerned about their career path," and wrote this book based on his own experience of "career concerns" becoming his own career path after 10 years of worrying about his career path.
This book presents the journey to finding your own path as a journey of three major 'starts'.
Beginning One, Self-Understanding: A Journey to Myself.
It points out that without self-understanding, we are bound to have a difficult time, and it makes us look deeply into our own existence as 'self' through various questions and reflections on interests, hobbies, values, strengths, past history, and even the future and death (memento mori) that have not yet arrived.
In particular, it guides readers through the process of finding their own 'compass sentence' through the concept of 'the union of fun, meaning, and strength', helping them establish their own vision and mission.
At the end of each chapter, a key checklist is provided, adding to the workbook's functionality so that readers can organize their concerns on their own.
Start two, self-care: kindness for myself.
It emphasizes the importance of emotional health and offers practical ways to face fear and anxiety, overcome burnout, and maintain physical and mental health.
Through specific rituals that can protect and fill you in your daily life, such as 'wireless charging stations', 'morning pages', and 'the power of words', it guides you on how to build strength to remain strong even in turbulent times.
This chapter also includes a key checklist at the end of each chapter, adding to its workbook function, allowing readers to organize their own concerns.
Starting point three, self-adventure: Exploring the world.
For those who don't know what they like and are good at, or who feel it's too late to start something new, I recommend 'Trying for Change' and 'Adventure in Everyday Life.'
Like Joseph Campbell's "Hero's Journey," it encourages us to embrace our fears, build a sense of accomplishment through small attempts, and ultimately create a path that is "a process of integrating food and existence."
This chapter also includes a key checklist at the end of each chapter, adding to its workbook function, allowing readers to organize their own concerns.
· A guide to change and growth that will stay with you for a long time, like your own personal compass!
This book will become your personal compass that will stay with you for a long time in your life.
This book is not one to be read in one sitting. It will be like your own compass, something you will take out whenever you face a crossroads in life or when you find yourself contemplating your future path in the midst of a stagnant daily life.
When I feel lost and unable to see what lies ahead, when my heart is greatly shaken, I open this book and hear a gentle voice saying, "Even my current worries and this pause are okay."
As author Koo Bon-hyung said, "There is nothing more foolish than following the path that most people are taking without facing one's true self," this book is an honest and affectionate career guide that helps readers discover their own essential values and seek a life that is true to themselves.
Furthermore, like the author's philosophy of 'learning and giving to myself, and giving to others,' it will lead readers to dream of a life in which they can positively influence others through their own growth.
How to use “The Compass Shakes and Finds Direction”?
“The treasure you seek is in the cave you are afraid to enter.”
- Mythologist Joseph Campbell
Embark on a lifelong adventure to discover your true self with career coaching expert Beomjun!
I recommend this to these people.
· Teenagers and college students who are struggling to find a career path that suits them
· 5060-year-old office workers looking to start the second act of their lives by changing careers or occupations.
· Workers who seek value and meaning in their work
· Readers who constantly challenge new things and dream of change and growth even in uncertain situations.
The author began his career as a career educator in earnest after completing the career support specialist course in 2016.
I completed over 400 hours of training and even earned a career counselor's license, but the answer to my career path wasn't in the book.
The answer to one's career path was not in a book, but in each person's heart.
Each of us was walking through life.
So I met a lot of people.
Starting in 2017, I have met with a variety of young people in their teens to 30s, including career education for youth and career coaching for young adults.
Regardless of age, everyone has had career concerns.
The questions given to each person were different, such as ‘How will I live from now on?’, ‘What will I do for a living?’, and ‘How can I find something I like and am good at?’, but what they all had in common was that they all wanted to ‘grow’ and ‘change.’
"The Compass Shakes and Finds Direction" is a book that lays the foundation for growth and personal growth for the author, who is still contemplating his or her future, as well as for teenagers, college students, young adults, and those in their 40s and 60s, to find their own answers and become more internally strong.
The author wrote this for those who are still unable to embark on their own adventure and remain in their own comfort zone.
And I hope that those who have embarked on their own adventures will read this article and gain strength and confidence that they are doing well.
The author's earnest hope that, upon reading the book, each reader will be able to embark on their own adventures in their own way is a willing hand of learning for those struggling with career paths around the world.
