Description
Book Introduction
Practice dying while living, and practice living even after dying!
The values of life learned from serving death row inmates for 30 years, 『Adult Studies』.
This book, written by the author of "Life's 9 Steps," contains answers to the question of "the virtues of aging." Rather than providing textbook-like, hackneyed answers, it tells the author's own profound stories about life, gleaned from his own experiences.
Having served as a death row inmate rehabilitation committee member for 30 years, and having been diagnosed with cancer and faced the prospect of death, the author has come to think concretely about the precious values of life and how we should be remembered in the future.
It conveys wisdom rooted in reality that makes us reflect on our lives, such as following our hearts and calculating, wearing glasses that fit our eyes, and taking out human insurance that money can't buy. By showing us various types of people, it helps us realize how we can live well.
You can gain new courage and hope through the author's attitude toward life, which transformed unbearable pain into a healthy and confident one.

Into the book
There is no need to fear the word death.
Think of yourself as dead and live once.
Then there will be nothing to forgive, nothing to fight about, and nothing to be upset about.
It's like a bonus day.
So I'm thankful every day.
Just like how you feel better when you get one more thing when you buy something.
As I sent off the death row inmates, I became resolute in the face of the word death.
Looking back, practicing separation was a life lesson that the death row inmates taught me.
I can go too, just like I told the death row inmates.
---From "Breaking Up Needs Practice"
We call people with a lot of money 'money rich'.
People with many friends are called 'friend rich', and there are too many people who have a lot of money but just keep it in their bank account and don't spend it.
Even if you have a lot of friends, there are times when those friends mean nothing at a crucial moment.
Money is truly good when it does its job well.
The same goes for friends.
A friend who helps me at crucial moments is a true friend.
---From "What more could you ask for if you had a friend like this?"
Even if my child is still a young child who can't speak, I don't have the right to order and oppress him under the pretext of educating him.
It took me a long time to realize that parents are just helpers who help their children stand on their own two feet without being blown away by the wind.
If you are a parent raising a young child, I want to tell you never to make the same mistake I did.
Let's not forget that children grow not from their mother's wonderful words, but from her warm heart.
---From "Don't Try to Be a Textbook Parent"
Humans grow through pain.
In the cancer ward where I was briefly admitted, there were many cancer patients, and they all had different paths through the tunnel of growth.
People who are positive about their cancer, and people who are upset that they chose the wrong doctor and hospital.
Their facial colors are different.
Come to think of it, it seems like not everyone grows after getting sick.
There are people who, even after getting sick, instead of growing, only blame their circumstances and environment.
The choice is yours.
---From "With what face will I say goodbye?"
There was a time in our country when writing wills was popular.
If you've given up on writing a long will because it's too much of a burden, it's also a good idea to try writing an epitaph in one line instead of two.
I'll put my whole life into a compressor and squeeze out the essence, and write a single line to be engraved on the epitaph.
If you read it every day, it will become a milestone in your life and you will work hard to reach it.
A life without a purpose is powerless.
Think of yourself as dead and live once.
Then there will be nothing to forgive, nothing to fight about, and nothing to be upset about.
It's like a bonus day.
So I'm thankful every day.

Publisher's Review
“A book that will make you grow just by reading it!”
There are ranks in life too.
Don't just grow older, get better every day!
The bestseller "Adult Study," which was published in 2012 and sold 100,000 copies, has returned after 10 years in response to readers' requests for republication.
Even after 10 years, or even after 100 years, the question, “How should I live to live a good life?” remains an eternal question.
The author says the answer is, 'Life also has ranks.'
I can't just live like a private, whining and wandering around.
As you grow older, you will be promoted to sergeant and then corporal, and you are asked to behave in a manner befitting your rank.
How disgusting it would be if a sergeant behaved like a private.
Author Yang Sun-ja, who passed away in 2014 at the age of 73, was armed with the belief that "there should be no calculation in helping others, and when someone falls, you should quickly help them up," and transformed into a passionate counselor who would rush to help whenever a red light turned on in someone's life.
When the book was published, reporters who went to interview author Yang Sun-ja said the same thing as they went back, saying that the interview was secondary and that they had poured out their worries.
He provides clear counseling while embracing people's hearts to the point that people say, "I was disarmed without even realizing it by the life counseling that came from 100% pure experience, not the boring answers from textbooks."
The author said that the most meaningful thing in the rest of his life is to see his life's rank grow step by step, one or two levels at a time, through "Adult Study."
So, by telling the stories of the various people she met, she vividly illustrated in the book how we can live well.
So, as you read the book, you will naturally find yourself thinking, "I should live like this," or "I shouldn't live like this."
“When hand knitting, there are times when you knit each stitch well, but then at some point you miss a stitch.
After knitting for a while, you discover that one of the stitches is missing.
To properly complete the piece, you must unwind the thread and go back to the point where the nose fell out.
“If you leave it as is because it is a waste to open it, it will become a defective product.”
With this being said, the author hopes that fewer people will live their lives lamenting belated regrets.
The author then recommends that you organize the words you want to engrave on your own epitaph.
Because it becomes the hope that allows you to live like that.
Ultimately, the author wants to convey a message of hope to readers who find life difficult.
Readers will gain new courage and hope from the author's attitude toward life, which allows him to transform unbearable pain into a healthy and confident one.
30 years as a death row inmate rehabilitation committee member,
The values of life that death row inmates taught me, and the things I learned after being diagnosed with cancer and reaching the end of my life!
The author, who has been a member of the death row inmate rehabilitation committee for 30 years, says that if you think about how you will die using your own and their final regrets as a lesson, you will be able to clearly see how you should live.
The phrase 'you only live once' may already be a cliché for us.
However, in 2010, he was diagnosed with colon cancer and underwent surgery twice that year. After waking up from the operating table, he had the opportunity to re-evaluate his life priorities to make the most of the time he had left in his life.
And then I realized.
If you just establish the right values in life, life doesn't get harder as you get older, but rather becomes richer and more beautiful.
At the end of life, I became a real adult.
The author advises people these days, who are adults in body but whine like children and are busy taking care of their own things, to live happily as adults before it is too late.
The author stopped chemotherapy and lived each day with gratitude, doing his best until he passed away in July 2014.
For her, cancer was rather a watershed moment in her life.
I looked back on the precious values of life and wrote down specifically what kind of face I want to be remembered with in the future.
So, 『Adult Study』 is much deeper and more refreshing than it was 10 years ago.
The adult studies the author talks about are not something grandiose.
Trying to calculate by following your heart, living with glasses that fit your eyes, getting human insurance that money can't buy, not trying to get something for free when you hope for a windfall, not bragging about being a little ahead of others, saving a dying person with a kind word... The topics covered in this book are probably stories we've all heard at least once.
But the message embedded within it resonates enough to make us reflect on our lives.
This is because it is filled with wisdom rooted in the vivid reality the author experienced firsthand, wisdom that has endured the harsh storms of time, and wisdom that smells like sweat.
The book wittily addresses topics that can easily become gloomy, such as cancer treatment and death row inmates, with appropriate humor and the power of positivity, about "living well," something that is known in the head but difficult to achieve in the heart.
Some people found comfort, some gained a new perspective on life, and some started dreaming again.
There are ranks in life too.
