A book I reread to welcome the New Year. Every New Year, I make new resolutions and approach things with a fresh mindset... but before I know it, I forget all of that and just go on living. Then, suddenly, I sense the passage of time... and feel regret... but life seems to repeat itself just like that.... Just this year, just this year... I want to pat myself on the back in December and say, "I lived well this year." So, thanks to this book, I make a resolution once again. To leave behind all
Of all the countless self-help books I have read since *My Sweet City*, this was the one I finished in the shortest amount of time. I felt that the protagonist, Go Mi-kyung, might be a reflection of the office worker I will face in the future. Bosses at work stealing credit for my achievements. The anxiety of having to live with a resignation letter in hand because of a small mistake. Watching Go Mi-kyung’s petty life, where she prioritizes others over her own identity and survival, made me
I borrowed this book from the library a few years ago, and after reading it twice in a week, I thought, "I absolutely have to buy this." Although I have only just purchased it, and I thought I remembered the content vividly enough for it to occasionally pop into my head, reading it again feels like a fresh experience. The story of Go Mi-kyung, a woman in her twenties, as she grapples with her work, friends, and relationships with her boyfriend, finds solutions, and moves toward a better
I have four books written by Nam In-sook on my bookshelf alone, and thanks to her, I spend about 100,000 won a month on books. It is a novel about the process of transforming into a smart woman, and Nam In-sook’s straightforward style shines through in it. I usually read books thoroughly, but I read this one lightly and enjoyably. However, I highly recommend reading any of Nam In-sook’s books about people in their 20s before reading this one.
I always enjoy reading self-help books. That is why I consider it a success in itself if I put even one of their tips into practice. One of my favorites is author Nam In-sook's book, "Woman, Leave Without Hesitation: The Choice of a 20-Something Woman Preparing for a Successful Tomorrow." Here are seven methods suggested by author Nam In-sook: Always be ready to leave; always decide your own path; do not leave just to leave, but chase joy rather than fun; leave yourself first; receive gifts
The moment I saw the book cover and title... "Leave"? Where on earth am I supposed to leave for? My curiosity was piqued, so I decided to read it. The title, "Women, Leave Without Hesitation," gives the impression of a travel book, but the meaning of "leaving" is not that of a travel guide. It portrays the life we are currently living—such as breaking up, traveling, changing careers, or switching jobs—as a journey, conveying the message to leave unnecessary and difficult situations. To navigate
Whether you stay at your current company or move to another, the outcome won't be much different. If you continue to be afraid to make your own decisions and take responsibility, just as you are now, things will be similar even if you change companies. On the other hand, if you do, the potential to be recognized at your current company is limitless. No one else can rummage through your ‘laundry pile’ for you. Everyone who fails in life can never improve because they only hope that others will
I approached *Woman, Leave Without Hesitation* with a very easy and relaxed mind. To me, who lives merely longing for the places I wish to go—always wishing to leave yet unable to—this book came as a truly precious gift. Through the mentor Jang Jeon-mu, this book guides us toward a true sense of self and the act of leaving. Always be ready to leave! Always decide your own path! Do not leave just to leave! Chase “joy”, not “fun”! You must leave from yourself to truly leave. The true gift of
When was it that I received this book? It was probably around February or March in the first half of the year. Having ended my long period of unemployment and started working, I had almost no time to read due to a combination of difficult family circumstances. The me who used to read so many books that I diagnosed myself as a texting addict had now forgotten my thirst for reading, becoming immersed and addicted to work, and living with books at a distance. However, my body and mind remember.
Oh, wow. I thought the author exuded an inexplicable, intense aura and the composure of a strong person, but I really underestimated her. I would like to take this opportunity to apologize. The author is the very person who, with her early pronouncement that "a woman's entire life is decided in her 20s," instilled a heavy burden of pressure in fresh-faced newcomers just starting their careers, while simultaneously planting deep regret and frustration in veteran(?) women who had just crossed the
Nam In-sook: Woman, leave without hesitation
*Woman, Leave Without Hesitation* contains methods for achieving success by letting go of the fear of the future. This book explains how a woman in her twenties can break away from everything in life and leave, much like embarking on a journey. Through the story of Go Mi-kyung, an ordinary 25-year-old woman, it showcases the process of building a successful life. *Woman, Leave Without Hesitation* clearly explains how to boldly leave when you feel something is not right. It conveys that one can achieve the success one desires in life only when one is always prepared and makes courageous choices, rather than leaving blindly. Synopsis: Go Mi-kyung, from the PR Department at Sejin Apparel, works as an editor for the company magazine and is dating Yu-bin, a boyfriend she feels would be disastrous if they were to get married. When she goes to apologize for KM Executive Director Jang Mi-kyung’s interview not being published in the magazine, she discovers they have met before. As a senior figure in life, Director Jang offers advice on "how to leave well." Having lost interest in the company, Mi-kyung intends to submit her resignation, but Director Jang dissuades her from leaving just for the sake of leaving; meanwhile, Mi-kyung begins to gain recognition at the company...
