Description
Book Introduction
"The Power of Reading, Writing, and Thinking" by Professor Kim Ik-han, Korea's first archivist.
365 Days of Humanities: Proposing 'Living' Rather Than 'Knowing'
"One Page Humanities" is a practical liberal arts book that revises and expands the philosophy of the bestseller "One Page a Day: The Power of Small but Big Change" to fit today's lifestyle rhythm.
The point is simple.
“Read, think, write, and live.”
It is divided into 12 self-development topics and organized so that you can read one page a day in just 5 minutes, and it also includes 'Questions to Ask Myself Today' to help you think about each day.
Some people might use this book as a docking point for their morning routine, others a five-minute reset button at lunch, and still others a checkout tool to organize their day before bed.
The message contained in short sentences and concise breathing becomes a humanistic stimulus that makes you look at the day differently.
Organizing thoughts, venting emotions, and reorganizing actions? These three things naturally follow.
As you read, your mind becomes clearer, as you write, your heart becomes more organized, and as soon as you close it, the direction of your day changes.
"One Page Humanities" is not just about learning humanities with your head, but also about techniques for managing your daily life more firmly.
One focus a day makes a bigger difference than a grand plan.
What this book proposes is not a grand awakening, but a small but sure routine of inner recovery.
The long and short of thinking that comes back from a fast-paced daily life
This revised edition has been revised to make it easier for readers to read, use more frequently, and put into practice immediately.
In addition to the fan base of the author's channel and Small Big Club, it now naturally attracts the 30-40 generation of writers, humanities, and routine people.
The lightweight, bright design, one-handed binding, and short, relatable text make it easy to open anytime, anywhere.
In particular, the newly added 'Question of the Day' allows me to immediately apply what I read to my life.
Thoughts lead to actions, and the sentences of the day become my own notes.
When I close the book, my mind becomes organized and a single line of record remains.
"One Page Humanities" is not a book to read, but a routine book to rewrite today.
More important than grand goals is focusing on one page a day and being confident in the small changes you discover within it.

Into the book
We, too, need time to take root, just like the bamboo tree.
This is why we shouldn't be frustrated by the slow growth now.
Everyone grows at a different rate, so you shouldn't compare yourself to others.
You have to trust the me who is growing by comparing yourself to your past self and your present self.
No time spent is wasted, and every moment is meaningful.
It's time for the dots to connect into lines.
--- p.37
There is a saying, “Life doesn’t go on because you endure, but because life goes on, you endure.”
Life is like a wave, it has cycles of energy.
When the bright energy rises, joy and satisfaction overflow, but at some point a downturn is bound to come.
According to the Book of Changes, there is a three-year cycle of bad luck called Samjae.
But no hardship lasts forever.
It's a way to understand and accept the cycle of life in order to overcome hardships and grow.
--- p.160
Small, everyday efforts may seem like they won't make a difference at first.
But these subtle differences accumulate like compound interest, creating a huge gap at some point.
This major difference becomes the basis for new iterations, and on top of that, other subtle differences arise, accelerating our growth.
--- p.169
When we think of sharing, we usually think of material things.
But what enriches our lives more is the 'economics of sharing', which involves sharing invisible assets.
There is a very special law in this economics.
The paradox is that when material things are shared, they diminish, but when assets like knowledge or positive emotions are shared, they actually grow and become more abundant.
--- p.356
We've seen together over the past 365 days how important daily reflection and recording are.
How about offering a warm toast to yourself for completing this steady, practical humanities journey? And I hope you'll give yourself a meaningful year-end gift for your hard work throughout the year.

Publisher's Review
From a book to read to a book to write about every day
A routine book of thoughts to talk to myself at the beginning and end of the day
『One Page Humanities』 is not a humanities that you learn with your head, but a humanities that you embody with your fingertips.
Read one page a day, and organize your thoughts by answering the short questions left below it.
As the days pile up like that, my own language is created and my daily life is redesigned.
This book restores the humanities to a life skill, not a mere academic discipline. The short paragraphs naturally embody the flow of "thinking, organizing, and practicing."
Reading one page clears your mind, organizes your thoughts for the day, and prepares you to face tomorrow differently.
Books are not just words that provide comfort, but they also function as sentences that move me.
So the reader doesn't just stay while reading, but immediately takes action of his own.
The real power of this book lies in its concreteness, which can be applied to life immediately after reading it.
It consists of small actions that can be put into practice right away, such as ‘Creating the first sentence of the day,’ ‘Emotion management routine,’ and ‘How to record small successes.’
The humanities do not remain in the realm of abstract thought, but come down to the choices, emotions, and relationships of the actual day.
By following a short piece of writing every day, I will develop sentences that support me and my inner core will become stronger.
‘Questions to Ask Myself Today’ is a time for reflection to look back on the day and a starting point for planning the next day.
This book doesn't try to change your life in a grand way.
It simply gives us the power to see today a little differently, the sense to re-align this moment.
The 365 sheets of paper that accumulate like that eventually become one person's philosophy.
Humanities that restore direction rather than speed
In an age overflowing with summaries, what we need is not more information, but 'our own criteria for judgment.'
『One Page Humanities』 teaches us how to pause in a fast-paced world and control the speed of our thoughts.
Topics like "What You See When You Slow Down," "Welcoming All Beings," and "Finding Abundance in Everyday Life" help you unwind from the complexities of everyday life and regain your own rhythm. This book translates age-old wisdom from the humanities into contemporary language, making it accessible to everyone in their daily lives.
My heart feels lighter as soon as I read it, and my thoughts become clearer the moment I write it.
The experience of a mere five minutes of reflection changing the course of an entire day is the most certain benefit that 『One Page Humanities』 offers its readers.
Why We Need to Return to the Humanities in the AI Age
In our fast-paced world, we swim in a ‘flood of information’ every day.
My fingers are busy scrolling down, but my heart is becoming increasingly empty.
The pace of work has accelerated, but often we don't understand why we're doing it. In an age where AI thinks for us and algorithms make choices for us, what we need is not more data, but the power of reasoning.
The humanities are the oldest technique for cultivating that power, and they remain the most effective tool.
"One Page Humanities" is a small speed control device created for the weary people of this era.
Instead of complex theories, it comes to us in a single sentence, and instead of grand philosophies, it comes to us in a question of the day.
“What do I need to stop doing today?”, “What standards am I living by now?” These simple questions make us human again.
Books ask questions, we answer.
In the process, direction is found and the burden of life becomes lighter.
Humanities are not a grand academic discipline, but a sense that maintains the temperature of life.
A short reflection a day restores me and allows me to see the world in a new light. What AI cannot replicate is the depth of thought and the depth of the heart.
This book is a modern humanities training book that reestablishes that connection, and a comforting humanities book. When the day feels burdensome, a single page of humanities asks questions.
“Where are your thoughts today?” That question will wake me up alive.
