Isn't desire perhaps something entirely natural simply because we are human? Sometimes we regard desire as a sin, but in a way, I wonder if it is precisely because of desire that we can transform into more beautiful and wonderful people. The author of this book is a wonderful woman living a beautiful life as Korea's representative global correspondent. Her life motto is "wise ambition for oneself"—and "beautiful desire can change one's life." She is a career woman pursuing her dreams in various
Desire Beautifully. I hesitated even to buy it, thinking it was just a story about a perfect woman from a good family, but I decided to read it because the titles in the table of contents were excellent. I was able to finish it by investing an hour or two during my commute and other spare time. I liked that the author had her own distinct values, but I also felt that the emphasis on flexibility could leave room for excuses. Well, deciding whether to read it is up to the individual.

Director Jo Joo-hee’s *Desire Beautifully* was a profound awakening for me, who had been constantly agonizing over my future. Unlike typical self-help books that repeat similar lessons, *Desire Beautifully* is filled with practical advice. The experiences Director Jo Joo-hee shared as a woman and a foreign correspondent came as a huge shock to me—someone who worries and thinks about the future every day but fails to make decisions or take action.

However, this book fully captures Jo Joo-hee’s unique way of loving life and the passion with which she faithfully lived as a woman of that fierce era.

I used to think the word "desire" itself had a very negative connotation. Perhaps that is why I don't like the word itself. However, since this book advises desiring beautifully, it made me wonder how one can desire beautifully. Also, for some reason, the protagonist on the cover looked incredibly confident.

Jo Ju-hee: Desire beautifully
*Desire Beautifully* is the story of Jo Joo-hee, a leading South Korean foreign correspondent who has worked for CNN, CBS, ABN, and The Washington Post, and currently serves as the Korea Bureau Chief for ABC News and a global media expert. The author states that "beautiful desire" has guided her life for nearly 20 years, and she shares her personal story regarding "desire"—the intense mindset to achieve life's goals. She reveals everything from the motivation behind planning a career as a journalist during the height of the democratization movement in the 1980s, to the process of building her career and the life know-how gained from vivid reporting situations. She also presents four steps one must take to desire beautifully.
