Into the book
This book helps you discover the 'me that surpasses me'.
So, in this book, I tried to include everything from the most basic values of life to proper leadership that leads one's life independently.
If the way you thought was right hasn't worked, or if you still have unresolved problems in life, I recommend reading this book.
--- p.6
Many successes are achieved by doing what no one else has been able to do or believed to be impossible.
And the first thing you have to give up for this is ‘recognition.’
You should not strive for the approval of others.
Our real fight is with ourselves, who can't even get out of bed right now.
--- p.79
There is no need to go out of your way to achieve a plausible goal just to show off to others.
The only thing you need to focus on to grow is 'positive change', and you need to start by doing the small things you can to achieve that.
When those little things add up and you climb one step, climbing two steps will feel much easier than before.
As these practices pile up, you will soon find yourself climbing dozens of steps.
--- p.135
What is happiness to you? More importantly, what is your own definition of "happiness" in your own dictionary? A life of wealth? A life others envy? Let's define happiness not according to what others think, but according to what I define.
--- p.195
When a negative event occurs, we tend to focus on it and magnify it as if looking at it through a microscope.
Instead, if you can turn your attention away from negative things through consistent meditation, you will be able to look at the situation rationally and objectively.
If you make the right choices, you will waste less of your life.
--- p.203
People who want to grow and succeed set goals first.
Here are the steps to setting the right goals:
First, write down several goals you want to achieve and choose one.
Then write down three actions to achieve that goal.
So, in this book, I tried to include everything from the most basic values of life to proper leadership that leads one's life independently.

Publisher's Review
“The only way to change your life is through your own practice.”
From an ordinary office worker to a self-development mentor,
The most realistic and powerful mindset guide
Many people are dissatisfied with their lives, but they use busyness and fear as excuses to avoid taking action to change their lives.
If you're feeling under a lot of stress at your current job, you should consider changing jobs. If you want to earn more money, you should look into ways to generate income.
Change begins not with vague hopes, but with concrete actions.
The author was also once an ordinary office worker who struggled with unstable work life.
After being delayed in his first job and changing jobs several times, he began to question the endlessly repeating trajectory of his life.
Starting with the question, “Am I living a good life now?”, he struggled to find the life he truly wanted and studied the lifestyles of successful people.
As a result, he amassed 50,000 followers in just 200 days after opening his SNS account, and has now established himself as a social media self-development mentor who attracts the attention of approximately 10 million MZ generations per month.
"If You Do Nothing, Nothing Changes" is a book that contains all the stories of success that the author has studied, and it is bringing about real changes in the lives of countless people, including the author.
Warren Buffett, Steve Jobs, Elon Musk…
What they have in common is that 'action' comes before 'thought'.
There's a reason Warren Buffett reads four hours a day and Elon Musk works 120 hours a week, sleeping on the office floor.
Because I knew better than anyone else that my ‘present actions’ create my ‘future self.’
Their achievements were not achieved overnight.
The author deeply analyzed the life paths pursued by the world's top 1% of successful people, including Warren Buffett, Steve Jobs, and Bill Gates, and organized their common mindsets and habits into five themes: relationships, success, mindset, happiness, and time management.
This book shows how they designed their lives with the values and attitudes they followed, while also helping readers actually act in their ways.
For example, keeping a gratitude journal trains your brain to stop negative thoughts and focus on positive ones, which naturally allows you to live a more present and healthy life.
Additionally, 'Write down 3 adjectives that describe you' helps you to re-establish the direction of your life by recognizing your strengths and core values when you face a period of discouragement that everyone experiences at least once in their busy daily lives.
And 'always asking yourself questions' helps you objectively reflect on your failures and mistakes without falling into self-rationalization, thereby preparing you for your next success.
In addition, the book is full of practical tasks that you can do right away, such as 'Understanding the Law of Give and Take,' 'Distinguishing Between Play and Leisure,' and 'Defining Your Own Definition of Happiness.'
For readers interested in self-improvement but unsure of where to start, this book offers a clear and practical first step.
Revised and Expanded Edition, Returning After Three Years, Now with a More Powerful Implementation Guide
This is not a book you just read, but a book you write and change your life.
Published three years after the first edition, the revised and expanded edition has returned with a more practical and powerful structure.
Worksheets added to each chapter help readers internalize the book's suggestions by documenting their own lives, and the appendix includes a list of 50 life-changing self-assessment questions that can be used as a routine tool to check one's direction and establish habits.
Living the life you truly want requires courage, determination, and most importantly, the ability to put it into practice.
Rather than making grand, abstract resolutions, the small, concrete actions you'll learn from this book will change the course of your life.
This book will help you start over, wherever you are and whatever your circumstances.
When you feel lost and want to find your courage again, "If You Do Nothing, Nothing Changes" will quietly lift you up and become your companion to run alongside you.
