Book Introduction

Planned by Alain de Botton and created by 'School of Life',
The most complete guide to travel that fills my life.

“If you have a plane ticket, a passport, and this book,
“All preparations for the trip are complete.” _Amazon Book Review
The second book in the Life School series, following “The Table of Thought,” “The Art of Travel that Fills Me,” has finally been published in Korea.
The School of Life is a project school founded by Alain de Botton, which provides readers with insights for a better life through various topics such as philosophy, human relationships, self-development, and career.
Alain de Botton, Korea's most beloved writer and the "philosopher of everyday life," curated "The Art of Travel that Fills Me," which guides us into the joys of travel with witty prose and outstanding insight.
The travel discussed in this book is more like an opportunity for personal growth.
We always worry about tomorrow and can't shake off our anxiety even when we go on a trip.
But if you just change your perspective a little, you can fully enjoy not only your travels but also your current life.
The smell of a small restaurant or bakery you come across while traveling can make you happy, and you can also make memories by making friends with strangers.
Sometimes, if you practice the "travel technique" of drawing rather than taking pictures, or visiting places others don't go, you will soon find yourself more fulfilled than before you left.

Into the book
To make wise choices about where to travel, you need to look within the world first, not outside it.
What is empty in our lives, where is our weakest point?
---From "Choosing a Travel Destination"
When we are dissatisfied with the present, we strive for a better life, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't enjoy the beauty of life as it is.
What good is having more if we can't even enjoy what we already have?
---From "Don't Doubt Happiness"
Traveling allows you to shed your shame.
It's the process of becoming an adult.
If there's one important thing travel can teach you, it's that it's okay to look like a fool sometimes.
---From "A Journey to Overcome Shame"
In many cases, traveling to Paris is an act of paying homage to their culture.
See the works of people who lived through their time and visit the places where they lived.
I want to feel them a little closer.
But ironically, if I had to pick one thing that great people wouldn't do, it would be going to an art museum.
---From "If I were given a few days in Paris"
Why is it that we are so indifferent to our surroundings while being so indifferent to foreign lands? Could there be a greater ability, or a more useful wisdom, than finding reasons to be as excited about our homeland as those who visit?
---From "How to Return Home"
Walking is, simply put, the smallest form of travel we can undertake.
The relationship between a walk and a regular vacation is like that between a bonsai tree and a forest.

Publisher's Review
A Guide to a Joyful Journey to Discover Yourself
An intelligent and entertaining essay that awakens us to the essence of life.
Why do we travel? Perhaps it's to fill something I lack right now.
People travel to fill their needs and become better people.
That is why, in 『The Art of Travel that Fills Me』, it is said that it is necessary to look into yourself before going on a trip.
Because when I look inside, I can see what I need right now.
So, thinking about 'where to travel' can be said to be the first step to a trip that fills me.
The travel destination we chose is a place that promises peace of mind.
A place that fills your shortcomings and relieves you of your excess.
Ideally, the places we visit should help us learn the lessons we need.
Our travel destinations are guides and stimuli that help us become the people we want to be.
_「Choosing a Travel Destination」, p. 10
We can feel and gain a lot from the travel destination we set out on after much deliberation.
Not only can you enjoy the pleasure of unfamiliar scenery, but you can also enjoy the sunlight you couldn't enjoy while trapped in a gloomy building, and reaffirm your love for your family and loved ones.
Even when unexpected events occur, you can sometimes find the leisure to laugh them off.
After returning home, I reminisce and find the strength to move forward again.
This book doesn't offer a plan for the perfect trip.
It just reminds us of one thing we've been missing in our lives.
To go on a journey is to understand myself, and to understand myself is ultimately to understand my life.
Our lives can be filled with happiness through small changes in our daily lives, rather than through grand, extravagant trips.
Before your trip, at your destination, and after your trip
My own personal journal that accompanies the beginning and end of my journey.
The special appeal of "The Art of Travel that Fills Me" can also be seen in its book structure for actual travelers.
Chapter 1, “Choosing a Travel Destination,” provides a notebook for writing down places you want to visit, and Chapter 21, “Drawings Instead of Photos,” provides seven pages for drawing.
In addition, we've created pages where you can apply the content of each chapter, including spaces to write foreign language expressions and short travel quizzes, to further enhance your travel enjoyment.
We can't forget the photos and paintings that inspire our travels.
With colorful photos carefully selected by the School of Life, the Korean edition features the work of K. Chae, a photo traveler and translator.
Two special photos of Chae were added.
Images of people lying on a chair on a hot beach, a painting of wildflowers, and delicious fruit displayed in a basket evoke a longing for travel that has been dormant deep within.
Let's read 30 essays to reflect on our thoughts before embarking on a trip, and then record precious moments in words and pictures at the destination we choose after much deliberation.
And after returning from your trip, write down any thoughts that come to mind in a notebook and gather the strength to travel again.
By the time you reach the last chapter of this book, you will have completed your own precious journal.
