Description
Book Introduction
Bestseller "You Can Do Anything",
Through "Who Will Come to My Funeral When I Die"
Instilled in 500,000 readers the belief that they could do it
A new essay by author Kim Sang-hyun

"Trial and error are assets, and growth is the reward."

Everyone who is serious about work and life deserves to enjoy
On moderate ambition and high happiness

Author Sang-Hyeon Kim, who has provided comfort and assurance to countless readers with his bestsellers “Who Will Come to My Funeral When I Die” and “You Are Someone Who Can Ultimately Achieve Anything,” has returned with his new work “It’s My Land as Much As I Wander.”
In this book, he argues that the "wandering time" of frustration, wandering, and failure is the essence of growth and the most solid process of forging one's own path.

As the CEO of a publishing company and an author, author Kim Sang-hyun has gone through countless trials and errors to reach his current position.
There were times when I started something because I liked it, and there were times when I followed a path that others said was right.
But even so, his own direction was not easily visible.
Even during the endless wandering, he did not stop, and soon success followed, allowing him to reaffirm the meaning of the path he had walked.

The time spent wandering is not wasted at all.
Through this book, author Kim Sang-hyun conveys that the process of finding our own answers, even in a world without answers, is the journey that makes us stronger.
In an age where uncertainty is the norm, he says it's okay to wander.
Because in the experience of getting lost, we come to see more clearly the direction we truly want to go.

《The Land I Wandered Is Mine》 does not teach the so-called 'formula for success'.
Instead, it talks about how to trust the 'wandering me'.
The author's faith, which has gradually strengthened himself through countless failures and attempts, and times of more uncertainty than confidence, permeates every page of this book.
If you are still searching for your way, this book will teach you to believe in yourself.
And one day you will realize.
The wandering I am going through now is the most certain process of perfecting my true self.

“The stronger your desire to achieve something, the deeper the time you spend wandering.
“The longer you get lost, the clearer the direction you should go becomes.”

Into the book
It's about creating things that never existed in the world, things that existed only in my head and in someone else's heart, into something visible, something tangible, something readable and audible.

--- p.19

Many people say they don't have anything they want to do, but I think it's most likely due to a lack of experience.
If you want to know what makes me laugh and what makes me cry, you have to try it.

--- p.27

We often see someone's explosive success and attribute it to a single stroke of luck or talent.
But if you look closely behind it, there are countless hours of perseverance that went into seizing that luck, and the sincerity that went into constantly honing that talent to ensure it never faded.

--- p.42

The beginning of everything is ‘organization’.
A ton of information, conversations going back and forth, even invisible context.
The first step is to organize all of this and figure out the structure.

--- p.56

I don't know how I will face life and work in the future, what kind of appearance and feeling I will have.
But one thing is certain:
That all the moments I've spent and accumulated will ultimately make me stronger.

--- p.76

I thought I was a fundamentally different kind of person from people who wandered with existential questions like, "Who am I?"
They were wandering around looking for answers, but I thought I was already the one who had the 'answers'.

--- p.97

This experience has convinced me.
All great things are ultimately the privilege of those who discover small beauties, and sometimes the time that seems inefficient produces the greatest efficiency.

--- p.115

I hope that you can approach each day with the hope that you will never become lazy, that you will find your own standard, and that you will be able to beautifully maintain that balance.
--- p.138

Confidence ultimately comes from the commitment to be a 'good person'.
A good person is not someone who gives everything without thinking.
Someone who has a calling and confidence in their work, is a charming person, knows the value of sharing, and appreciates the power of solidarity.
That's a good person.

--- p.164

There are two truths we must hold on to on this magnificent and lonely journey.
'Everything is uncertain' and 'everything takes time'.
--- p.183

Machines create data, but only people create narratives.
And true narrative is the only language that transcends time and moves the human heart.

--- p.203

I couldn't use 'Genius Strategy'.
I thought that if I couldn't compete with talent, I had no choice but to just keep trying, rather than racking my brain and hoping for luck.

--- p.226

I hope to create an organization that achieves the perfect balance of happiness.
That's why I live, and how I live, now that my longest night has passed and a full day has arrived.
--- p.249

Publisher's Review
The time spent wandering is not wasted.
Ultimately, it becomes your own land that sustains life.

Author Kim Sang-hyun, who touched the hearts of many with his best-selling book, “You Are the One Who Can Do Anything,” has returned with his new work, “It’s My Land as Much as I Wander.”
After running a publishing company and a cafe since his previous work, he experienced countless trials and errors and realized that no one becomes strong easily.
Life goes through ups and downs and doubts before it can finally find its own conclusion.
His time of struggling and enduring without any flashy resume calmly shows that what ultimately creates growth is 'time' and 'effort'.

The author also says that the meaning of life slowly reveals itself in the small repetitions of daily life.
Things you want to do only come to those who work hard and sincerely.
Only by consistently filling your mind every day can you gain the strength to remain unshaken when trials come.
His attitude of sincerely asking his own questions and completing his life shows the quiet but solid insight he has gained from his journey.
This book is an essay that reminds us that every moment of worry ultimately makes us stronger.

The accumulated days will make your ability and attitude
Ultimately, it creates a brand called you.

Although they write books and record their lives, the author's daily life is not much different from ours.
I go to work every day, work hard every day, and live my life.
This book is full of practical comfort and advice for those who live each day faithfully.
The author, who runs a publishing company and a cafe, emphasizes that being 'good at work' does not come from flashy qualifications or luck, but from an attitude of sticking to the basics.
Organizing your day, staying consistent, and not giving up on even the smallest attempts.
These solid fundamentals are ultimately the most reliable skills for building a career.

The more you feel that you lack talent, the more you must not be shaken.
The moment we follow others, we become mere imitators.
Rather than hoping for luck, quietly doing what you can do now is ultimately the way to create your own brand.
How to set unwavering standards in a rapidly changing world, build a lasting career, and maintain a balance between work and life.
This book reminds us that our current concerns are not the rock bottom of our careers, but rather their roots.

One person's narrative is innumerable
It is completed through small attempts and wandering.

"As Much as I Wander, It's My Land" is a book that makes you think again not only about work, but also about the process of creating and discovering attitudes toward life.
Creating something out of nothing is always a scary and lonely task.
The author says that it is in those uncertain times that a person's determination is born.
I don't even think that the time I spend lying in bed every day worrying is useless.

His confession that the times of worry that seem inefficient actually produce the greatest efficiency is a warm encouragement to those who want to create something.
And we realize.
More important than a perfect plan or a single flash of wisdom is the attitude of constantly questioning, wandering, and reaching out again.
As each day passes by, it piles up and eventually creates its own solid ground and narrative.
