The book that started and led to the peak of the handwriting craze
#1 best-selling writing book of the past five years
The world of mortals is more fun than shorts and reels!

Author Yoo Seon-gyeong, the best-selling author of “Adult Vocabulary” and “Emotional Vocabulary” and the driving force behind the hand-writing craze, redefines humans as “Homo expingo,” an expressive being, in this book and suggests a journey to understand the world more deeply and discover one’s true self through expressiveness.
He emphasizes that reading and writing are the most effective ways to help with this journey, and that through consistent writing, anyone can develop the ability to fully express their own thoughts and feelings.

The book is divided into four parts.
In 'First Step, Becoming Familiar with Expression', you will learn 'expression as a discoverer' through sentences filled with literary depth and thought, such as Trina Paulus's 'Hope for the Flowers', Astrid Lindgren's 'Pippi Longstocking', and Nietzsche's 'Mon Onomatopoeia'.


In 'The Second Step, Secrets to Developing Expressive Power 1', we explore the structural principles of sentences, such as contrast, connection, paradox, and flow of meaning, and lay the foundation for writing that clearly conveys thoughts.
In 'The Third Step, Secret to Developing Expressiveness 2', you will learn the aesthetics of 'comparison' and 'comparison' through sentences from Hermann Hesse, Dante, Zhuangzi, Virginia Woolf, and others, thereby expanding the depth of your language.
The final 'Fourth Step, the Power of Expressiveness' shows that expression is an attitude toward life and the quality of relationships through the process of connecting (이타), realizing (깨다), overcoming problems (헤다), and writing anew (작다).
Through these four steps, readers will complete a daily language training routine that goes from 'writing → expanding thoughts → self-expression.'


Expression is not an innate talent, but a skill and attitude that is refined through daily practice.
Many conflicts and misunderstandings stem from the way we express ourselves, and as we age, it becomes more difficult to express ourselves honestly and accurately.
《One Page a Day, My Expressive Power Handwriting Notes》 presents a step-by-step, systematic training method to overcome these difficulties.
As a result, readers learn to convey their thoughts clearly, without ambiguity, and with dignity, without being excessive.
Furthermore, it will serve as a calm yet practical guide for those seeking to find their own language.
I hope that through consistent writing, your words, writing, and mind will become stronger.
