If you are feeling bored, tired and confused during certain times, believe me that all these feelings are very natural for us! You don’t need to bother thinking about a way to solve the negative feeling, you just need time to incubate those feelings in mind to disappear itself!

There are times we want to express our feelings but don’t bother to find someone to listen to all your complaints. Try reading these Korean books might help! Some of these books written by Korean authors is as if you are being advised by a good friend!🥰


Let me suggest some Korean self-motivation books that might help us during the hard times.

1. Live As Is / I decided to live as myself / 나는 나로 살기 로 했다 by Kim Soo Hyun

“To survive as ‘me’ in such an unkind world, for ‘you’ who can just be yourself and not mind others. and for ‘us’, the most ordinary beings who are normal but beautiful!”


This book, written by Kim Suhyun, is the # 1 best-selling book in South Korea and has already sold over 1 million copies around the world. 

This book contains a collection of reasons why do we face bad thoughts on a daily basis and what actually makes our thoughts worse. The author devotes his views to different small things in life, which happen to cause hardships if we don’t pay attention to it. It consists of 6 parts, each contains a to-do-list to achieve the one thing in life.

Feeling anxiety? Go on to Section 3 (three)! You will find ways to not sink deeper into anxiety and make your days better 🙂

The author also explains how to deal with anxiety. One of them is by not assuming an early scenario about your future. For example, when you have a cough, you are worried that your cough will lead to TB disease. Such thoughts will only dissipate your present time with fear of the future.

Isn’t it a waste of time to spend time on things that don’t necessarily happen?

This book opens our minds that whatever judgments and opinions from others will no affect our happiness.


2. Just relax, his name is also alive! / 처음 살아 보니까 그럴 수 있어 / As You Live for the First Time (Flower Path Edition), Korean Essays by Yozuck

This book tells about sadness, curiosity, and answers to life that the author experienced. I’m sure you won’t get bored reading the book because it’s full of illustrations.

The main character of this story is Penguin. The penguin goes on a long journey and encounters other animal friends along the way, getting different new lessons about life.

This book reminds us that failures and mistakes are not big issues, because we are humans. Instead of punishing ourselves, we should learn to embrace our weaknesses.


3. The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down by Haemin Sunim

In a world that is moving fast, have you ever felt being left behind? Seeing the success of other people on Instagram or other social media, it is as if we are nothing compared to them.

“Reality exists because our minds exist”

The world depends on our minds in order to exist, just as our minds depend on the world as the subject of our awareness. The two of them are related to each other. It is very important for us to keep our minds calm so that our conscious world remains peaceful.

This book presents serenity while you are reading it. Sometimes for a moment we need to get out of the hustle and bustle of the world, to get to know and love ourselves better.

When we experience difficulties, rather than always seeking comfort from others, you can offer your comfort and listen to others. Because in the process of helping, you will be healed.

– Haemin Sunim

These three Korean books can give us tranquility we are looking for in this busy world. Sometimes we need to escape from the hustle and bustle of the reality, and find time to know and love ourselves better.

Do You Know? | Why Do Koreans Love Ginseng? Is Ginseng that good?

Have you ever watched K-drama and seeing the actors or actress sucking on those little sachet things? Well, I bet you have 😊

For those of you who are wondering what ‘Ginseng’ is, don’t worry! I’ll tell you guys that those things are Korean Ginseng Extract.


Ginseng is a plant and one of the most prevalent herbal medicine as it has been used for centuries. There are numerous types of this plant, yet American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) and Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) are the most popular. The chemical components found on this herb such as Ginsenosides and gintonin are accountable for the clinical effect.

The study states that Ginsenosides as the main active substance in Ginseng is more abundantly found in Red Ginseng. Panaxydol, panaxynol, and panaxytriol, which are also found in Red Ginseng act as an anti-cancer.

The taste of Ginseng extract is indeed strong. You will like it if you are used to consuming herbal medicine. Yet for those of you who do not like such bitter taste, it’s better to mix it with a glass of warm water.

According to medical expert Dr. Jusuf Kristianto (MM, MHA, MQIH. PhD), “red ginseng from Korea is not only good for anti-cancer, but also can improve brain function, increase body metabolism, maintain healthy skin, increase energy and stamina (including for people with AIDS), and very good for detoxification.

Seems appealing, right?😍 No wonder ginseng is a Korean favorite. Even great chef of Malaysia, Chef Wan like drinking this for his health!
