A new Changbi humanities series, packed with professional knowledge while remaining lightweight and affordable, is now available to readers.
This is the '100 Grams of Culture' series, which provides a light reading of the complex world.
This series, designed for modern people who want to cultivate their knowledge even in their busy daily lives, consists of lightweight books weighing around 100 grams that can be carried and read while commuting to and from work, traveling, or while doing housework or raising children.
The book is written in a comfortable tone, as if experts in each field were speaking, so that even readers familiar with YouTube and digital content can easily immerse themselves in the fun of reading.
The third book in the '100 Grams of Culture' series is 'The Empathy Writing Method', in which author Yoo Si-min shares his secrets to writing.
He emphasizes writing as both an act of expressing what one has studied and a method of studying, and recommends that in order to write well, one should first and foremost strive to increase one's vocabulary and develop the habit of writing as if speaking, even if it is only one sentence a day.
This book is like a strong nutritional supplement that will give you immediate strength to write.


The core of professional knowledge, compiled from reading and writing in one volume.

The first authors to participate in the '100 Grams of Culture' series are former Supreme Court Justice Kim Young-ran, film director Byun Young-joo, writer Yoo Si-min, and psychiatrist Jeong Hye-shin.
The appendix at the end of the book, 'Memorable Sentences,' contains representative famous sentences written in the author's own handwriting, allowing readers to fully internalize the contents of the book and copy them.
This series, which can be enjoyed by everyone from beginner readers to lifelong learners, is a light and effective knowledge supplement that will satisfy readers' intellectual curiosity anytime, anywhere.
The books that herald the beginning of '100 Grams of Culture', 『Reading for Life』 (written by Kim Young-ran), 『Creative Writing Class』 (written by Byun Young-joo), 『Empathy Writing Method』 (written by Yoo Si-min), and 『Mourning Practice』 (written by Jeong Hye-shin), are books that have been consistently loved by many readers since their first publication, and are introduced in revised editions in this series.
"100 Grams of Culture," which was created with a compact size that can be carried in a pocket and a design that is comfortable to hold in the hand, was pre-released at the 2024 Seoul International Book Fair and received overwhelming support from readers.
For those who feel burdened by books but want to develop a reading habit, those accustomed to gaining knowledge through YouTube but want to gain more in-depth knowledge, and even readers who prefer books they can read in their spare time during their daily lives, this book will provide an incredibly fulfilling and enriching reading experience.

The secret to writing consistently, even if it's just one sentence a day, as described by Yoo Si-min

Yoo Si-min suggests that studying in this era should focus on “becoming a person who designs their own life and lives it in a way they believe is right,” and suggests that reading and writing should be combined as a way to become a person who understands others, empathizes with them, and coexists with them.
And to achieve this, the most important thing is to emphasize that reading any book is 'empathetic' reading, where one does not maintain a psychological distance from the author and instead understands the author's thoughts and emotions as they are contained in the text.
Only then can what you learn from books become the foundation for forming your attitude toward the world, others, and yourself, and through this, you can develop intellectually and emotionally.
As you wander through the world of reading and writing guided by Yoo Si-min, you will soon find yourself sitting at your desk and naturally starting a sentence.
