Inhale positivity, exhale courage
 |
Description
Book Introduction
This is the first book to be presented to teenagers by Professor Jinah Young, the first Korean professor of child and adolescent psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
The author, who failed to get into the psychiatry residency program he wanted and moved to the United States without giving up anything, pursued his dream and achieved a life as a psychiatrist and professor.
However, the life that seemed to be happy and without anything to envy suddenly came crashing down due to an incurable disease.
This book is filled with the ups and downs of life that Professor Jinah Young experienced, such as her experience of accepting illness as a part of herself with a strong heart that does not give up, and it comforts the hearts of our youth who are each struggling with their own unique concerns.
Adolescence is a time when a person's identity and self-belief become stronger.
But, as it is the first time for everyone, it is also a very confusing time.
Complicated friendships, stagnant grades, a boring, repetitive routine, and a future that seems far away.
How on earth should I live with what kind of mindset to be happy? Can I truly become a decent adult?
As a child and adolescent psychiatrist who has met countless adolescents for nearly 20 years, Professor Jinah Young has realized one thing.
Our inner strength is much stronger than we think, and we have limitless potential.
A person's growth depends on how much of the potential hidden within them is awakened and how well it is utilized.
"The Courage to Breathe in, the Courage to Breathe Out" awakens the potential of our youth with the author's tangible, real-life stories, rather than vague words.
‘Positivity’ to consider yourself as the most valuable person and ‘courage’ to live a healthy life.
If you breathe deeply with positivity on the inhale and courage on the exhale, your inner strength will grow like a large mountain before you know it.
Opening this book itself is a valuable first step.
Because it means a new beginning.

Into the book
Are you also struggling to win your parents' affection or the approval of others? Do you believe you're worthless if you can't achieve what adults want? I hope you now know that those thoughts aren't true.
Every person is born with an absolute value that cannot be evaluated by anything.
I'm saying that you can't measure a person's worth by things like grades or money.
--- p.22
If you try to fit into the mold that others have created for you, it will be very difficult.
It's also difficult to become happy.
Imagine a fish that spends its entire life trying to learn to climb trees.
Would that fish be happy? If you were a fish, you shouldn't practice climbing trees, but rather strive to find your own "water," a stage where you can unleash your potential.
--- p.28
The talents needed by the next generation will probably be different from those of the past.
In this ever-changing era, we often see people who discover a niche and focus on it achieve great results and achieve great things.
Their success is very different from the traditional success methods we have traditionally believed.
--- p.63
At the moment of choice, there are many times when we cannot accurately predict which option will lead to a better outcome.
What you thought was a bad thing may end up having better results, and what you thought was a good thing may end up having worse results.
There is more than just one way.
There is no right or wrong way.
--- p.77
It would be helpful for you to have some guidance when you have problems to solve or important decisions to make in life.
Like the North Star, which guides those who are lost in the dark night.
There are no right answers in life.
So, we need a light like the North Star to give us direction even more.
Let me tell you four values that will be that light for you.
--- p.85
How can I be truly happy? The answer lies entirely within me.
No one knows better than I do what makes me feel loved, happy, satisfied, and fulfilled.
--- p.100
When you encounter many hot potatoes in life, the thing you absolutely need is 'courage'.
Courage isn't the absence of fear.
I'm scared and afraid, but I still want to give it a try.
Therefore, it could be said that a courageous person is someone who has constantly practiced the hot potato method of dealing with uncomfortable emotions.
A person who believes in himself and controls his fearful emotions without avoiding them.

Publisher's Review
Professor Jinah Young's Psychological Prescription for Heartbroken Teenagers
Magical words that make emotions, relationships, and everyday worries disappear.
We all live with our own worries.
Today's teenagers are adapting to a world that is changing at the fastest pace in history, and they struggle with college entrance exams, friendships, and the stress of appearance amidst the chaos.
Sometimes I deny myself, sometimes I feel anxious about the future, and sometimes I live a life without motivation.
It's heartbreaking one way or another.
Professor Jina Young, a doctor who has been working with adolescents for over 20 years and the first Korean to be appointed to the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, uses her own experiences in this book, “Positivity in Breath, Courage in Breath,” to offer magical words to our heartbroken adolescents.
It took him 14 years to become a doctor in the United States, and he later became a professor, achieving a stable life. However, everything soon came crashing down due to incurable diseases such as autonomic nervous system disorder and chronic fatigue syndrome. He shares valuable insights into life.
Little by little in the direction I want,
My future to create
"Why don't I have anything I want to do?" "Can I ever become a decent adult?" "What should I do for a living?" Countless young people worry about their future.
It feels like walking through a smoky fog, and some people give up easily because they don't like that feeling of unease.
In fact, many young people today say they don't know their dreams or that they don't have any.
But is that weird? If you don't decide everything right away in your teens, will you really fall behind?
In fact, the author argues that it is not only impossible but also unnecessary for young people to fully plan their future.
We can't know the future perfectly, but we can shape it little by little in the direction we want.
So there is no reason to worry too much about tomorrow, which has not yet arrived.
Because no one knows what the future will bring.
Just listen to your heart, dream and challenge yourself wherever your heart leads you.
What we need to do now is to stay true to the present, look to the future, and move forward step by step.
Whoosh, - , whoosh-
Inhale with positivity, exhale with courage!
In order to move forward with 'me' at the center, it is important to cultivate 'inner strength' that allows you to stand firm on your own regardless of external circumstances or words.
The healthy mind that supports me, that 'firm' mind, springs from positivity and courage.
So how do we cultivate positivity and courage? In this book, Professor Jinah Young shares her honest, real-life experiences, not vague, fabricated stories, offering warm and helpful advice.
It provides fun and practical tips such as 'How to speak without feeling bad' and 'How to avoid stressing about your appearance', while also including life wisdom such as 'How to get back up when your body and mind are tired'.
Additionally, you can practice making your mind 'calm' based on psychology through the special corner of the book, 'Let's do it with Dr. Ji!' or the appendix, 'Magical words that make even the things you don't want to do enjoyable.'
Professor Jinah Young shares in her book, “Positivity in Breath, Courage in Breath,” how to live a fun and fulfilling life in the vast world, how to overcome the difficulties that sometimes arise along the way, and how to cultivate a strong mind.
