★★★ Winner of the Author of the Year Award ★★★ ★★★ A lecture that changes the day for 100,000 people every morning ★★★ ★★★ The number one author readers want to meet ★★★ "Reading is no longer a hobby. It is a survival tool for living." Kim Myung-hwan, the winner of the 'Author of the Year Award,' condenses 20 years of reading experience into one book. As the top choice for lectures, Kim Myung-hwan meets thousands of people with over 40 lectures a month. After each lecture, hands inevitably go up. "So how should I read books?" After reading thousands of books over 20 years and practicing the truths discovered in them, the best reader of our time, Kim Myung-hwan, has condensed his 20 years of reading wisdom into this book. It explains why we should read, how to read, and how reading can change our lives. 'The Art of Reading' shares the positive functions of reading and various reading methods experienced by the author without reservation. The author, who has transformed perfectly from a comedian to a writer, speaker, and CEO in the food industry, attributes all his success to reading. Whenever he felt anxious, he would rush to the library to read, and when solutions seemed elusive, he would spend hours reading to find direction. Having read over 3,000 books and accumulated reading wisdom, he now lives a life where he can go where he wants, when he wants, and with whom he wants. The saying by Ahn Jung-geun, "If I don't read a book for even a day, I feel like thorns are growing in my mouth," means that a reader seeks solutions rather than complaints and asks questions instead of blaming others. Even in the face of hundreds of reasons to close a book each day, if you continue to read, that accumulated reading wisdom will make you stronger. The only way to survive in uncertain times is through reading. "There is no anxiety that can’t be shaken off by an hour of reading." The ability to capture opportunities and the most needed skill in uncertain times. There are people who are said to be "lucky." No matter what choices they make, they go in the right direction, and everything they do yields the best results. Is it really only they who find luck and see opportunities? Wittgenstein said, "The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." This means that what you can see is limited by what you know. If everyone can see it, it is not an opportunity. You must be able to see what others cannot. Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, said, "In the age of AI, the needed people are those who can predict the future and respond quickly," and Warren Buffett stated, "I spend 50 weeks a year reading (and thinking)." From this, we can find the answer. The ability to discover infinite potential within oneself, capture opportunities, and predict the future can only be achieved through reading. The author claims that books are the best weapon for living in uncertain times. Based on 20 years of reading experience, he presents 24 reasons why we should read. It helps develop the eye to capture opportunities, see the flow of money, eliminate fear, and enjoy time. The power of reading has brought him to a place he could never have imagined before, as a writer, speaker, and CEO in the food industry, giving him the ability to adapt no matter how the world changes. In the future, thoughts will be bought and sold. The quantity of experiences that can serve as the foundation for these thoughts will be determined by the amount of reading done. If you have books, you can always move in the right direction at moments of choice. "One page as soon as I wake up. Reading that never skips a day." Revealing specific reading methods like the 10-page reading method and using the 6 to 9 strategy. So how should we read? Many people say, "I don't have time to read because I'm busy." To them, the author firmly states, "You are busy because you don’t read." The author emphasizes that books should be read with the determination to live or die, not as a hobby. He advises prioritizing reading time above all else in daily life. To this end, he introduces specific and diverse methods he has practiced over 20 years. For example, read one page first thing in the morning and read for at least 5 minutes before sleeping. He saves energy from 6 PM after work until 9 AM the next morning, and he always brings a book with him, whether he goes to the bathroom or meets friends, to read whenever he can. In particular, the '10-page reading method' is the one the author recommends the most. Choose three books from different fields such as literature, philosophy, and science, and read 10 pages from each. The author has tackled difficult books using this method and is currently challenging 'In Search of Lost Time' with it. Choosing the books that I need and that suit me among countless books, reading them with the right methods, then going for walks, creating content, writing, and discussing are what truly changes life. However, this entire process does not yield results overnight. Yet, the one minute of reading that is not given up accumulates to change my future. If you build the process of reading day by day, turning one page at a time, that effort will never betray you.
