“A person with rich sensitivity
“Even sadness can be a school.”
In an age of overstimulation, a collection of refreshing insights that will cultivate your power to feel.

Artist Jeong Yeo-ul has a collection of masterpieces comparable to those of the Musee d'Orsay and the Louvre.
The author takes out moments he has cherished in his heart, one by one, when he feels miserable comparing himself to others, when he is tormented by the thought that he has failed to keep his promise to himself again today, and when he feels exhausted and weak for no reason.
His ability to recover ultimate joy and full happiness no matter what difficulties he faces comes from the 'power to feel.'
We are now increasingly losing the power to feel.
Shocking news that fuels anxiety and fear fills our minds every day, and a flood of content, including reels and shorts, competes to capture our attention.
If we continue to be exposed to excessive stimulation like this, we will unconsciously live according to the emotions of others rather than our own, and we will express our emotions by being mindful of others' reactions.
This is like taking away my right to live actively as the subject of my own life, that is, it is like cutting off the bud of ‘individualization’.

Hermann Hesse once suffered from depression, pessimistic about his own situation and his path to decline.
Dante Alighieri had achieved early success in politics, but was pushed out of the power struggle and became a lonely exile.
Before author Jeong Yeo-ul understood the existence of trauma, there was a time when she was extremely sensitive to wounds and would lose sleep over the slightest suffering from someone else.
However, just as Hesse and Dante completed their masterpieces, Demian and Divine Comedy, through difficult times, the author did not lose his way in sorrow, but became a "wounded healer" who comforted the hearts of those who had suffered similar pain.

In “Sensitivity Class,” the author says:
A sensitive person can “find similar examples among ‘the events I have read, learned, and experienced’ even in the most shocking of situations, and can wisely synthesize all the insights gained from those moments to respond in an intelligent manner.”
About the wounded healer, Carl Gustav Jung said, “Only the wounded physician can heal others.
“But the doctor said, ‘I can heal others as much as I healed myself.’”
The same goes for sensitivity.
Only those with rich sensitivity can expand this world.
However, he can expand the world as much as he feels.


“Not only the ability to feel and realize,
“It takes the ability to survive and overcome.”
43 Emotional Exercises to Awaken Your Sense of Life as True to Yourself

In this book, the author suggests trying a 'sensitivity ritual' that is free from efficiency and a sense of duty.
This book, consisting of three parts, is a guide to learning how to get along with myself and a topographical map to help me realize my beautiful potential.


“Inside me, the ‘schedule of beauty that no one has planned’ is being fulfilled every day.
In the morning, I write a manuscript while listening to a piano sonata, at lunch, I look closely at my favorite art pieces, and in the evening, I read a book while reflecting on the day and jot down my thoughts from the day.
“My struggle to somehow not let go of the ties between literature, art, and music saved me even during the pandemic, when I was most depressed, and when I was most lonely due to the disconnection of human relationships.” - From “Jeonju”

Part 1, "Concepts and Words," introduces words that excite the heart and expand the horizons of perception just by thinking about them.
It is filled with words that bloom anew through the author's unique perspective, from somewhat unfamiliar concepts like 'punctum', a shocking and unique image that divides the world into 'before' and 'after', to 'trauma', which is reinterpreted as a stepping stone for growth, and 'wounds', which are reborn as a condition for healing others.
By following the words chosen by the author, readers will also create their own mental dictionary.

Part 2, "Places and Things," discusses world-renowned landmarks like the Royal Observatory in Greenwich and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, as well as familiar objects, from trains to picture frames.
Not everyone feels the same way when they are in the same space.
Some people read the descriptions written on the guide without much interest, while others feel it more deeply and make the place their own.
Even the objects we use every day can become mediums that convey special emotions depending on the meaning we give them.
For example, a picture frame goes beyond simply being a tool for holding photos; it becomes a medium that stores our most beautiful moments.

Part 3, "People and Characters," features a variety of emotional mentors you can lean on for warm comfort and cool-headed advice.
We can learn about life's attitudes not only from great figures like Susan Sontag and Ahn Jung-geun, but also from the characters in fairy tales we read as children and even from people we meet on the street.
The important thing is to keep the invisible motor of sensitivity in your heart running at every moment.
When the motor of sensitivity is fired up, you can discover in the Little Mermaid “the dazzling beauty of a being that transcends the countless boundaries that block it and dismantles all obstacles,” and you can learn the kindness and hospitality that lead a dark world to the light by helping a lost person in a subway station.
After completing the 43 sensitivity lessons in the book, readers will be able to face a world that has become clearer.
The greatest gift of sensitivity is the ability to see the world in higher resolution.


“Against the power that silences you,
“Find your own dazzling language”
To reclaim the right to love writing, art, people and life.

The dictionary definition of sensitivity is 'the quality of receiving and feeling stimuli from the external world', and it is often used in the same way as 'being sensitive'.
The word sensitivity is mainly used to express individual emotions, but there is also a collective sensitivity that surrounds our society.
"Sensitivity Class" dreams of a day when each individual will blossom into a bud of sensitivity, and society's sensitivity will finally blossom.
A society with developed sensitivity is one that grieves with others.
It is a society where each person is considerate of others, as they may become strangers at any time and place.
It is a society where we break away from a world where only we exist, take responsibility for the world, and become 'good neighbors' to one another.
But what is the reality?
Even sadness is subject to control and surveillance.
We tend to see strangers as dangerous and reject them, and spend our days starting and ending with ourselves.

In a reality where “self-righteous people in power who only push their own opinions ‘silence’ the majority of the public,” the author pledges to “fight against a world that blocks all of these things to protect the right to listen to beautiful music, the right to draw out one’s hidden talents and express them to the world, and the right to write what truly springs from the depths of one’s heart.”
I resolve to engage in a fierce struggle, driven by my love for art, my love for people and the world, and my overflowing love for literature and writing.

In this way, the author's beautiful determination gives us the courage to "stand against all powers that seek to destroy precious lives with a single word."
It encourages each person to sprout the seeds of individuality without hesitation.
Chilean poet Pablo Neruda said, “You can cut all the flowers in the world, but you can’t stop spring from coming.”
Yet, there are times when our society and my heart become desolate and bleak, and I lament and despair that spring will never come.
Whenever that happens, let's open up "Sensitivity Class" and read it.
Every time you turn the page, you will feel a refreshing breeze of thought as if you were sitting in the shade.
