Conclusion
English Vocabulary Practice Notes

Famous quotes from Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and Goethe to Hegel
Time to give myself a gift!

We live in an age where we quickly obtain information and easily consume emotions.
But deep thinking doesn't happen overnight.
Only through the process of slowly savoring and writing down each sentence can the power of thinking be developed.
"English Vocabulary Notes for Peace of Mind" is a book that helps you naturally acquire English vocabulary while contemplating the direction of your life by transcribing famous quotes from great philosophers.

This book is not just a simple handwritten notebook.
It provides a process of internalizing 100 quotes containing the insights of philosophers by writing them down by hand.
Schopenhauer, Goethe, Nietzsche, Plato, Kant, Freud, Rousseau, Descartes, Aurelius, and Hegel.
I can bring timeless philosophical thinking into my life.
Just repeating the sentences of great thinkers helps us organize our thoughts and calm our minds.

Deep thinking training through transcription

Writing by hand is not simply a record.
In the process of writing along, I chew on the meaning and make the sentences my own.
This book provides quotes from philosophers along with their original English texts, allowing you to deepen your thinking by writing sentences yourself.
Writing is not simply a matter of moving your hands; it is a process of organizing your thoughts and cultivating your life.
For example, when you copy Descartes' “I think, therefore I am,” you are not simply writing.
I try to recall what this sentence means and apply it to my life.
And the questions in the book make you ask yourself:
“What criteria do I use to prove my existence?” Writing becomes an opportunity to expand one’s thinking.

Connecting Classical Philosophy and Modern Interpretations

Philosophy often feels difficult and rigid.
However, this book is structured to connect philosophical thinking to our lives today by including writings by modern philosophers in each chapter.
Rather than simply listing the wisdom of the past, it helps us look at it from a fresh perspective in today's world.

For example, after reading Schopenhauer's famous quote, “Happiness is nothing but the remission of pain,” you might wonder whether this sentence is still valid today.
Questions like “Is happiness the absence of suffering, or is it something else?” allow us to embrace philosophy as a question of the present, not something of the past.

Practice applying the wisdom of philosophy to life

Writing, reading, and thinking about philosophical sentences becomes a process of self-reflection.
As we live, there are times when we naturally lose our direction in life.
At times like these, by transcribing the philosophers' famous quotes, you can discover a new perspective on life in short but powerful sentences.

This book is not just a simple English manuscript.
This book is a practice book for developing the power of thought and organizing life by writing philosophical sentences yourself.
As you write each sentence and each letter, you will experience deeper thinking and a strengthening of your inner self.
Let's experience philosophy at your fingertips, a time to learn about life by writing down the sentences of philosophers by hand.
