This book contains the core principles of slow aging that I have been emphasizing.
The first collection of writings by Professor Jeong Hee-won of the Department of Geriatrics at Asan Medical Center, the protagonist of the slow aging syndrome that resonated with the entire nation of Korea, has been published, titled “Jeong Hee-won’s Slow Aging Mindful Handwritten Notes.”
From the SNS posts that became a hot topic, known as the "Jeong Hee-won Quotes," to the health philosophies drawn from the books she has published, and the key points repeatedly emphasized in interviews and lectures, this book comprehensively organizes and includes only the 101 most important guidelines.
The newly written sentences and commentary for this book are also unique to this manuscript notebook.

The gold-leafed hardcover book was finished with a high-quality drawstring to ensure practicality and a stylish look that will last a long time.
You can write comfortably using paper that feels great to write on.
The author, who explained the purpose of publishing this book as “because nothing is more important than writing to make my mind turn toward good habits,” has always talked about the positive effects of writing on health.
For readers who have been unable to practice because they are busy, lack financial resources, or simply forget quickly, reading and writing just one line for five minutes a day will be the beginning of a good habit that will help them live a better life.

Into the book
If someone were to ask me, “So what is slow aging?” I would answer like this.
“Slow aging is a mindset that creates a virtuous cycle in life.”
--- p.16
In the world of money, you can sometimes get rich quick, but in the world of aging and disease, that doesn't happen.
In the world of money, bankruptcy and recovery are possible, but in the world of aging and disease, life is a one-time opportunity.
Living a life of accelerated aging is like being forced to play a slot machine that is rigged against you.
Now is the earliest time.
--- p.18
People who thought positively about old age lived 7.5 years longer than those who thought negatively.
People with negative perceptions of aging also had higher levels of stress hormones in their blood.
The effect of reducing life expectancy by 7.5 years is similar to smoking one pack of cigarettes a day for a lifetime.
--- p.20
A slow-aging lifestyle is one that is healthy for your body and mind, economical, and good for the planet.
--- p.22
Health is not an object of management, but a means of living happily and the result of living a happy and well-lived life.
--- p.24
Slow aging is a life strategy that allows you to live a long and fulfilling life.
--- p.26
People who consume less and live simply tend to feel more positive about life and are more satisfied with their daily lives.
--- p.28
Your life determines the speed of aging.
Following human instincts faithfully can lead to big problems in the long run.
--- p.30
It is not right to think that you can live happily and comfortably and then die because it is already too late.
This attitude is not only violence against oneself, but it is also an irresponsible act of terrorism against those around one who will have to take care of one's broken self for a considerable period of time.
--- p.32
As we age, “the reason we lose strength is more often than not because we are old, but because we have been dissolute in our youth.”
“Slow aging is a mindset that creates a virtuous cycle in life.”

Publisher's Review
★The first handwritten notes of Professor Jeong Hee-won, the National Doctor and Seoul Metropolitan Government Health Director.
★Perfect slow-aging habits established with a 3-step guide to reading, writing, and practicing.
★For busy modern people, condensed into just 101 essential guidelines for slow aging, just 5 minutes a day.
“Writing is like strength training, running, and meditation for the brain.”
The power of desperation to slow down the body and elevate the quality of life
Professor Jeong Hee-won, who has been promoting slow aging through various books and media, realized that "if you can't change your thoughts, no matter how good the weapons are, you can't put them into practice," and decided to publish this handwritten notebook.
The author emphasizes that no weapon is as effective as copying, as simply reading and writing can create new neural connections in the brain, creating new habits.
Additionally, the slow act of writing by hand accustoms the brain, accustomed to immediate stimulation, to slow rewards, acting as a natural tranquilizer that reduces anxiety and tension in modern people who are tired of the race for speed.
Based on the positive effects of this type of transcription, "Jeong Hee-won's Slow Aging Mindful Copying Notes" is systematically organized into three steps: reading sentences, copying them, and writing down your own thoughts, feelings, and resolutions in the margins.
This is not a book that just contains nice words.
In line with the author's philosophy that "there is little benefit in using sweet words" (p. 74), the book also includes bitter words that can be used as medicine, such as "Once you turn 40, you are responsible for your own face" (p. 52), "Use the money you would spend on supplements to exercise" (p. 70), and "You must overcome the instinct to avoid pain" (p. 118).
This book contains Professor Jeong Hee-won's clear voice, which is as sharp as a needle to heal the body, like a tonic.
“Make this year one that your future self can be thankful for.”
From mindset to diet and self-care, investing just 5 minutes a day can boost your health and well-being.
The author says that slow aging is a strategy that creates a virtuous cycle in life.
So, to help you change your old thinking and develop healthy habits in your daily life, I've arranged the sentences in the following order: mind, diet, habits, exercise, and self-care.
“Slow aging is a mindset that creates a virtuous cycle in life” (p. 16), “Not everything that tastes bitter is good for the body, but almost nothing that tastes sweet is beneficial” (p. 74), “Learning how to let go of bad habits comes first” (p. 108), “Exercise is cocaine without side effects” (p. 150), “Breathing is the anchor that connects the body and mind” (p. 188), etc. You can follow the natural flow of each topic from 001 to 101 in order, or you can just pick and write down the sentences that you need.
As the author says, "Writing is both brain exercise and meditation," after reading this book 101 times, I will be able to feel that my physical strength and mental health have improved compared to before.
This is the power of Jeong Hee-won's Slow Aging Mindful Handwritten Notes.
★Perfect slow-aging habits established with a 3-step guide to reading, writing, and practicing.
★For busy modern people, condensed into just 101 essential guidelines for slow aging, just 5 minutes a day.
