Message from the Author

This book is for you who are currently stuck in life. If you are opening this book feeling "I can't try any harder" or "I'm stuck in life," then this book is truly for you.

Past pain, anger and dissatisfaction with the current environment, anxiety about the future... I believe there are many people who, despite outwardly acting nonchalant and saying "I'm okay," are quietly in despair, feeling crushed by such things.

First, please be reassured: that despair is not because you haven't tried hard enough. And by the time you've picked up this book, you are already moving forward in your life properly.

In this book, from the perspective that "despair itself is an opportunity," we will address various dead ends in life, such as work, money, family, romance, and human relationships.

We will also introduce hidden tips for life and how to unearth your latent power.

I hope this book can be a catalyst for you to take a step out of despair and return to a life that is truly yours.
