Into the book
AI cannot talk about life because it has not lived it.
The essence of life, directly felt, experienced, and realized, is the epitome of human uniqueness. AI cannot replace the profound understanding of human subjectivity and the direction of life.
The subject of life comes from me.
So we need to understand where we need to go further.
--- p.18
“In a society where everything changes so quickly, what we should focus on is what doesn’t change, what’s closest to the truth.
We must focus on what does not change.”
--- p.40
True happiness lies not in acquisition, but in hope.
The hope that I can change, that I can get better.
Carl Jung called this 'self-actualization'.
Success is not something you get.
We are all just getting closer to success.
You may never reach any goal or success you envision until you die.
Because you are continuously walking towards the goal you have in mind.
--- p.65
There is one truth I have discovered in meeting people with severe depression and anxiety that is unwavering.
The thing is, everyone wants to feel important.
Perhaps your deep depression stems from the loss of something you were meant to achieve, something you truly loved.
Behind that sense of loss lies an equally frustrated desire.
The influence of power is an inseparable relationship from the moment life begins to the moment it ends.
--- p.96
His numerous feasts of images were full of hidden meaning and symbolism.
As I listened to his story, I thought it was brilliant and I was impressed.
I gradually came to think of him as an artist rather than a schizophrenic, and the more I treated him as an artist, the better his life began to get.
And he really became an artist and still makes a living from that profession.
--- p.109
Rather, when everything is going well, our imagination becomes impoverished.
At that time, it is natural to focus on reality.
When we are surrounded by good things and are abundant, we focus on taking advantage of their fruits.
Conversely, when life is depressing, anxious, and full of all kinds of bad things, you can imagine something quite the opposite.
Harsh reality allows us to discover the light within ourselves.
--- p.118
When you experience pain clearly, you see the challenges that need to be addressed within it.
And for the greater good, we must endure small sufferings.
You must climb the first step before you can climb the second step.
Building each step is both painful and rewarding because it is a step towards a goal.
In this way, imagination and the reality of suffering meet in the stream of meaning.
--- p.144
When we try to improve ourselves or make changes, we often try to solve everything with willpower, but instinct holds firmer than we think where willpower is mobilized.
The first thing to focus on when changing your life is not to mess with your instincts too much.
To make a change, you have to start very small and incrementally.
--- p.176
I think meeting that teacher was the greatest encounter of my life.
I was just an ordinary, unremarkable child, but my teacher noticed the small potential I had and encouraged me, which made me see myself again.

“A person who knows what he aspires for and the meaning and value of life
“You have the power to overcome any obstacle!”
In the AI era, "Redesigning life with meaning and value"
The remarkable advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) are causing anxiety and confusion about the future for many people.
However, these moments of crisis can be opportunities to understand the message of the times and discover what you truly desire.
The author, who has participated in various studies on the emotional functions of AI and has intensively analyzed human psychology, says that while AI can organize and extract information and knowledge from data, there are experiences that only humans can have.
It is an inner journey of imagining a better world, rising above setbacks, and finding meaning.
This journey is a uniquely human domain that AI cannot replace, and it is emerging as an increasingly important task today.
The uniqueness of human beings, and furthermore, their own differences and strengths, are hidden right here.
Drawing on insights gleaned from extensive research on AI, psychological analysis, and practical counseling, the author presents a method for discovering human potential and agency that differentiates us from AI.
Through seven themes—“Human Uniqueness,” “Self-Discovery,” “Desire,” “Imagination,” “Frustration and Success Experiences,” and “Human Relationships”—the book encourages readers to look within themselves and discover the true desires within themselves, reminding them that this is a powerful driving force in life.
Questions to Ask Yourself to Awaken Your Desires and Aspirations
The book guides you to more clearly recognize your desires and aspirations by asking questions such as, “What potential am I trying to realize at this moment?” and “Who is most important to me?” based on the core theme of finding inner value.
The author utilizes various psychological theories and techniques, including Carl Jung's self-actualization and archetypes, John Flavel's metacognition, William Glasser's reality therapy and need theory, and Steve DeSaser's miracle question, to deepen inner exploration.
The most shining part of the author's rich counseling experience is the process of drawing out the self hidden deep within me.
In an age where connections through social media and virtual worlds are more prevalent than face-to-face interactions, a true understanding of oneself is more important than ever.
The most important thing in the process of finding your true self is to seriously ask yourself whether your choices and actions truly come from your desires or are shaped by the expectations of others.
When we open our closed minds and express our desires, we discover the possibilities of life and humans can take a leap forward.
A powerful and moving message about understanding 'me'
All the aspirations and motivations we harbor on the path of life are ultimately fulfilled only through me.
The book emphasizes that the most human power a human can have comes from imagination.
The author argues that when imagination, filled with ideals and hope, combines with realistic action, meaning is created, and even feelings of frustration, failure, and anxiety can become seeds of new possibilities.
It also presents experiences of success driven by 'momentum', environmental changes that are more powerful than willpower, and the compounding effects of small successes, and teaches us practical ways to practice in real life so that we do not end up with mere ideals about how to maintain our 'self' without being shaken.
Furthermore, it movingly depicts the process of rediscovering the meaning of life through human relationships that do not miss even the smallest light in the darkness, and finding a guiding light when facing trials.
The book's warm reflections on human life and existence, its comforting words, and its practical solutions will serve as a warm and powerful guide for those who fear change, those who seek to preserve their sense of self, and those who wish to re-examine the meaning of human existence.
