Don't get caught up in the speed of the world
Description
Book Introduction
In this rapidly changing era, everyone is so focused on running forward that they end up putting off asking the fundamental questions, “Who am I?” and “How should I live?”
"Don't Get Swept Away by the Speed of the World" is a heartfelt letter and reflection from a professional investor to his children in these times.
The author, who has been fiercely involved in the investment world for a long time, says that more fundamental than money-making skills are the power to know yourself, the power to think deeply, and to establish an unshakable center of life.
This book kindly explains the laws of economics and investment, but it is also a warm philosophical and self-help book in which a father answers essential questions like "What is happiness?", "How do I live a truly successful life?", and "What choices are important?" by dedicating his entire life to them.
The story the author tells is not abstract.
The hardships of daily life on a farm, failures and regrets, growth through investments, the pain suffered by people, true freedom, and even affection for children - these sentences are drawn from real life and immediately touch the hearts of readers.
This book, which naturally crosses the boundaries of parenting, education, investing, psychology, and philosophy, is a "lighthouse of the mind" essential not only to parents and children, but to everyone living in these turbulent times.

Publisher's Review
A solid life formula from a professional investor
In this rapidly changing era, many parents are concerned about the "true wisdom" their children need.
But neither schools nor society teach us how to set standards for life, the nature of money and freedom, how to think, or the power to choose.
Here, professional investor and author Yoo I-seong delivers a message of life based on the fundamental philosophy that "you must know yourself before money."
The author emphasizes that while investing has given him financial freedom, ultimately, what's more important is his perspective on life and the power to know himself.
The countless failures and successes I encountered in the world of investing, the experiences I had in interpersonal relationships, and the meaning of happiness and responsibility I learned from watching my children make this book shine even brighter.
The book is divided into four parts.
Part 1, “Knowing Myself,” deals with the standards of existence, self, happiness, and inner self.
The author's thought that "happiness is not something big or great, but a feeling of gratitude for each peaceful day" resonates with readers for a long time.
Part 2, “The Power of Thought,” covers life decision-making skills, including criteria for choice, subjective values, and how to break out of the frame.
This passage is insightfully infused with the author's experience as an investor and reader.
Part 3, “The Essence of Money,” explains economic freedom, value judgment, and investment principles not as simple techniques but as an “attitude to life.”
It explains the psychological foundations needed to make money and warns against letting money become the master of one's life.
Part 4, “What Dad Wants From You,” is ultimately a warm encouragement about what kind of life one should live.
It conveys the courage to live firmly and true to oneself.
This book is a valuable gift for parents who are wondering what true education is, teenagers and people in their 20s who want to find their own standards and live by them, working adults who have started investing but are struggling to manage their emotions, and anyone who wants to re-establish the direction of their lives.
