My 1cm is you
Detailed image

Into the book
If you ran 7km today
It has gotten that close to me.
---From "The Destination of Aimless Running"
To meet the me that I like
It also matters what kind of person I meet.
Like an astronomer searching for a new planet
Let's find someone who is like a twinkling star in the dark night.
Each person is like a satellite that makes each other's hearts shine brighter.
It clearly exists in the universe.
---From "Misunderstandings About Myself"
God has made you for no reason
I'm not free enough to put it out into the world.
---From "The world becomes better because of me"
The contour lines of expectations for each other can either be lowered or raised,
The direction of favor toward people may change from northeast to southwest.
The terrain of the forest of people you meet frequently may change.
The map of relationships in a person's life is constantly changing.
If you acknowledge that change, if you allow freedom in your relationship,
I too can be free from relationships.
---From "The Map of Relationships: How to Be Free from Relationships"
“For example, Seojun”,
“For example, Yoonseo”,
“For example, Jaeho”,
“James, for example.”
When someone uses you as an example
What would be an example?
There are many reasons to live life a little more wonderfully.
---From "For example"
The time I spent to my liking,
Make me who I like.
Life is finite,
That's what we have at this moment
This is why it should be enjoyed infinitely.
It has gotten that close to me.

Publisher's Review
A creative journey to discover a better you every day.
Transforming 1 million readers in 12 countries
The full expanded edition of 『1cm+』 by best-selling author Eun-ju Kim!
- Heartfelt messages of gratitude and praise from readers around the world for the book "1cm" -
“I was crying while reading the last few pages.”
“A truly beautifully written article.” (Muy hermoso la que escribes)
“A book of my life!” (Private life and one meal)
“Countless little stories and anecdotes that make you think, love, and laugh.” (A multitude of little stories and anecdotes that make you think, love, and laugh)
“A book full of sentences about the enlightenment of life.”
“I found a lot of shiny things.”
〈1cm〉, the masterpiece of best-selling author Eun-ju Kim, loved across time and country.
This series started with the small question, “If we assume that life is long, what is the 1cm I need in my life right now?”
Even before Korean culture became known to the world, it was published overseas, sparking a boom in Korean essays, and was published in various languages, from French to Mongolian.
In a Japanese bookstore, there is a dedicated corner for the “1cm” series, and many celebrities, including BTS’ Jungkook, have read it. It has also been featured in various media outlets, and has been evaluated as a new cultural phenomenon in Korean essays.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the publication of the 〈1cm〉 series, the most beloved 『1cm+』 in the series has been released as a full expanded edition, 『1cm+me (One Centimeter Plus Me)』, containing 37 new texts, more illustrations, and carefully selected texts from the 〈1cm〉 series (『1cm Origin』, 『1cm Art』).
The illustrations were created by artist Eun-ju Kim and artist Hyeon-jeong Yang, who have been working together on fantasy for a long time.
As the title suggests, this book focuses on 'me' and 'my relationship with myself', inviting readers on a creative journey to find a better me than yesterday.
The cover, designed with the motif of 'space', has a fantastic purple color and gives a mysterious feeling as if symbolizing my own journey.
In each and every one of the countless objects inside and outside the universe, there is a hidden story of finding my own 1cm.
"A magical essay that helps you find the extra centimeter you want to add to your life."
Yesterday's me and today's me meet
10th Anniversary Timeless Edition
As society becomes more complex, our worries have also increased, and various emotions and thoughts such as regret, depression, unfulfilled desires, resentment, and self-reproach often unintentionally tangle our minds and hearts.
There are times when I get hurt by someone's little words and can't figure out what to do with trivial things.
In such cases, I should instead focus on my small 1cm possibility.
A new thought as small as 1cm, a small effort as small as 1cm, a small action as small as 1cm, a small shock from that 1cm will start a wave of positive change in my life like a butterfly effect.
If today is particularly tiring, if you are surrounded by various problems in life and don't know where to start, if you desperately want to find something new in your boring daily life, let's start a special journey to find a 1cm better you every day through 『1cm+me』.
“If I find it, it will be the longest 1cm in the world.”
My ordinary moments that passed by without a second thought
Now, it becomes special with 『1cm+me』!
1cm is never short.
It becomes an important clue to change my life and a meaningful path to create a better life.
If you connect all the countries where the 〈1cm〉 series was published, it would be the length of one circumference of the Earth (approximately 40,000 km).
The reason this series has changed the lives of one million readers in twelve countries, continues to be translated and published, and is loved as a million-selling essay is because the final author who completes this book is you, the reader who has found your own 1cm.
『1cm+me』 is a journey to find the '1cm' I want to add to my life.
On that journey, it guides me to adjust the distance in relationships by 1cm (CONNECTING), move my gaze 1cm to see a new world (BREAKING), find what happens 1cm below my heart (FINDING), get 1cm closer to each other (LOVING), find a 1cm gap every day to rest (RELAXING), and dream 1cm (DREAMING).
Charming characters like you, who are the same age as you, a cute bear, a polar bear, a poodle, and a stuffed cat will join you on your journey.
This book challenges you to engage in interesting ways that you may not have previously been asked to engage in.
By doing special activities like folding pages, filling in my own blanks, and letting the sunlight shine on the book, I realize what that 1cm is in my life, take action to find it, and ultimately find a 1cm better me.
The reader of this book becomes both a reader and a writer who has the courage to begin writing the pages of his or her own life.
That is the strange charm of this book, and at the same time, its very real magic.
Now, let's embark on a creative journey to find a 1cm better version of yourself every day! It will be a truly fun journey and a valuable opportunity to discover important life lessons.
The teenage students who read 〈1cm〉 have now become adults in their 20s, met someone in their 30s, started a family, and are now mature people in their 40s who are still working towards their dreams.
The book 〈1cm〉 is a book that grows '1cm' at a time, accompanying the reader's changes and growth.
Therefore, this 10th anniversary special edition 『1cm+me』 will be a small but meaningful choice for you to become a better version of yourself.
