- Book Intro
-
The time is long gone when getting into a good company and working hard was a good enough life plan. Unfortunately, companies no longer take responsibility for my future. Still, quitting or changing jobs does not solve the problem. Aside from the frantic pace of work, many employees feel bored and empty in their daily lives, not to mention exhausted.
This book advises those feeling empty and lacking something to make time for themselves to fill their lives meaningfully. It does not have to be starting up a business or a big-scale project. Before trying to find a way to change or quit your job, you should actively think about new options that will fill your empty heart. Introducing stories of various people who made themselves the main heroes of their life stories, this book tells how “doing other stuff” influenced their lives.

Lee Sunjae
Having worked in startup companies, Lee Sunjae has met many competent people who strove to make their own way. He then ruminated on how to increase his competitiveness to be able to work for 10, 30, or 50 years, instead of just hoping to get promoted or change jobs. He came to realize that there are many stories to talk about in the world of work besides merely job hunting, promotions, and annual salary, as well as many more choices and endless things to mull over. This book is the result of that insight.
He has written a series at brunch, an online writing platform, and columns for many major newspapers and weekly magazines, and worked as an interviewer related to Seoul City government policies. He has produced various genres of writing and content planning in the course of meeting and interviewing people who pursue meaningful and satisfying work for themselves, in order to collect various case studies and perspectives from their work and lives.
He is now working for service planning and improvement at Trevari, a community service based on reading groups.
