Phrases for you who are kind, delicate, unique, and a perfectionist.
Description
Book Introduction
Words that organize your emotions, sentences that sustain your life

"Sentences for the Kind, Sensitive, Unique, and Perfectionist You" is not a book that simply tells those who are tired and struggling to cheer up.
Instead, we take a closer look at the state of your mind right now and offer sentences that help you understand those feelings.
As a psychologist, the author analyzes the underlying emotions we experience, such as anxiety, depression, loneliness, and self-loathing, and carefully selects sentences that are essential when facing those emotions.

This book, consisting of four chapters, covers different topics, but the core is the same.
It is ‘understanding myself.’
No matter how good the words are, if they do not fit the grain of my heart, they are just empty.
"Sentences for You" tells readers to quietly, slowly, and comfortably work together to find the "knot."
This book doesn't simply list famous quotes; it unravels, one by one, why those words are so necessary to us now and what psychological mechanisms lead us to embrace those sentences more deeply. It's not just a book that provides comfort; it helps us understand ourselves and adjust our lives.
Among the sentences in this book, there will surely be one that fits perfectly into our lives.
And that sentence will become a compass that guides you not only through the day, but through your entire life.

Into the book
Everyone wants to be rich, but few think deeply about 'for what purpose' and 'what kind of life to live'.
Most people believe they are struggling to live a better life, but they don't even know what they really need to worry about.
If you try to solve your 'fake worries' by following others, you will feel awkward and uncomfortable, as if you are wearing clothes that do not fit.
As similar problems repeat themselves, the emptiness and anxiety deepen.
--- p.16

As Harlow's experiment shows, attachment is a very natural emotion for humans.
And the same goes for the person who is the object of attachment.
The most touching moment for someone who is on the receiving end of love is when someone gives their heart completely and entrusts their feelings to you.
People who know how courageous that heart is want to protect the other person more and dream of a strong relationship.
From a man's perspective, it can be an attractive point that stimulates the chivalrous spirit of wanting to protect the other person, and from a woman's perspective, it gives the impression that although he appears tough on the outside, his pure heart inside is more sincere than anyone else's.
Having someone trust and rely on you completely is not a burden, but a privilege that only the loved one can enjoy.
So, you don't have to hesitate because you're worried that the other person will feel burdened.

--- p.110

Leaving the routine and going to a different environment can be stimulating for anyone.
But for those who have a strong desire to live differently and who have questioned their familiar way of life, travel is not just a place for rest or leisure, but an opportunity to reconstruct their lives.
They don't just like the unfamiliar.
I want to look at myself more accurately through unfamiliarity.
I want to know what I really want, what I need to change, and what I need to keep.
For those who crave something new, travel is not a rest, but rather an act of planting new seeds in the field of thoughts.
And through the process of that seed bearing fruit, thoughts become flexible, generous, and stronger.
When psychologists say, “Travel is growth,” they are not just being metaphorical.

--- p.151

True growth comes to those who do not compare themselves to others.
What we need is the confidence in ourselves to keep going even if no one notices.
And that confidence comes from the values ​​I hold dear, the reason I live, and my own sense of purpose.
Even if we initially started out hoping for someone's praise or recognition, when it gradually becomes a choice to uphold values ​​that truly matter to us rather than a performance for others, we can finally take control of our own lives.
--- p.164


Performance-oriented people, once they set a goal, run towards it at full speed without looking back.
I am adept at planning, breaking down processes, and maximizing efficiency.
This tendency is highly regarded and welcomed in society as a responsible and achievement-oriented person.
However, if we only pursue results while ignoring the flow of emotions and the rhythm of life, there is a great risk of missing the important knots in life.
--- p.190

The stronger your desire to do something perfectly, the more sensitive you naturally become to the intentions and expectations of the person who gave you the assignment.
Beyond simply producing good results, you end up trying to fit the ideal picture your opponent has in mind.
From this point on, the effort changes from being for the work itself to the process of implementing the ideas of the person who gave the instruction.
A relationship of dependence on someone other than work begins quietly.
--- p.212

Publisher's Review
Sentences for a Life of Your Own: A Psychological Perspective

There are many wonderful words in the world.
But not all of those words fit my life perfectly and change the framework of my life.
This book is about finding and sharing a line that resonates with you among those words.
Words do not exist only in language.
A comforter who soothes the heart, a moderator who corrects the balance of thoughts, and a restorer who raises me up when I am about to fall.
And sometimes, that one line of words can set life in motion again.


Psychology is not simply a discipline that examines and understands human emotions.
It is a tool to scientifically explore why we make the choices we do, how we get back up, and what processes we go through to live our lives.
This book starts from this very point.
I want to move toward a deeper understanding by putting the words of those who have lived before into a psychological context.
Emphasize insight over comfort, and emotional regulation over emotional exhaustion.
Isn't the role of this book to help readers take care of their hearts and lighten the burden of life little by little?
If you've opened the book now, there's probably at least one question in your heart that you can't share with anyone.
This book doesn't answer that question.
It simply guides us along a path of slow, thoughtful reflection and reflection together.
That one sentence you need right now might be waiting for you somewhere in a book.

How to find my direction

"Sentences for the Kind, Sensitive, Unique, and Perfectionist You" does not provide the answers to life.
Instead, it asks the question, “What kind of life do you dream of?” and covers the concerns of various psychological types in detail.
Quotations are not simply the quotations of famous people, but a condensation of life's experiences.
This book helps us apply that concentrated wisdom and experience precisely to our problems.
Thanks to this, readers can understand the source of their emotions that sway like reeds and find solutions for themselves.
Furthermore, rather than just feeling 'comforted', the ability to interpret and re-direct on one's own is developed.
In the end, you come to realize that a good life is a process of accumulating your own choices rather than following a mold set by others.
Quotes are not just the words of famous people.
It is a summary of life and an insight into humanity.
This book brings that insight to life at a time when we need it most.
More important than ‘the moment when you need comfort’ is ‘the time to understand yourself.’
Psychology makes such times possible.
This book serves as a companion on that journey, guiding readers to become interpreters of their own lives.

A single line of operation that changes the inertia of life

This book focuses not on the outward appearance of words, but on the change that sentences bring to the reader.
The author meticulously examines the background and psychological principles behind each quote, demonstrating in detail "how it exerts its power, at what moment, and to whom."
The moment the reader closes the book, he or she will ponder the one sentence that remains in his or her mind and ask himself or herself a question.
A small change in thinking leads to a change in behavior, and that change soon creates gentle ripples in our daily lives.
And it doesn't stop at being impressive.
After reading it, it naturally motivates you to apply it to your life.
After reading this book, readers will experience a subtle shift in their perspective on life.
You will be able to look at the same scene from a different perspective, and you will be able to accept familiar emotions more firmly.
That subtle difference may be the greatest change this book presents.


Comfort that only someone who understands the weight of words can offer

Many books say, 'This book, these words will change you.'
However, this book does not arbitrarily set the direction of your life or say that it will change.
Affectionate yet sharp, light yet heavy, shallow yet deep.
Because it speaks not of the shape of the words, but of the human psychology contained within them.
I didn't choose to include pretty words, pleasant words, or words that give me strength.
Instead, we looked at the psychological background from which the saying was born, analyzed and selected which people it could help in what way.
So, this book offers sentences that can provide 'real comfort' to those of us who need comfort.
"Sentences for the Kind, Sensitive, Unique, and Perfectionist You" is a book for readers.
The author wrote this book with the hope that it would be a time to reflect on one's life and encourage oneself, rather than a time to read a book.
The author's sincerity, which he put into polishing sentences and conveying them with affection, permeates every part of the book.

The one line you need right now

We each live at a different pace of mind.
So, 『Sentences for the Kind, Sensitive, Unique, and Perfectionist You』 is not rushed.
Read each line slowly, chew on it, make it your own, and take steps to apply it to your life.
If, on a day when your mind is in turmoil, you can simply pause for a moment and catch your breath, then this book has done its job.
Some days it's okay to just fold the corners and forget about it for a while.
As time passes, one day, it is okay to receive comfort that touches your heart from a page you carelessly opened.
The words you need will be waiting for you.
