About the Book

* The final installment of the bestselling series, "Adult's 100-Day Transcription Notebook"!
Adult sentences for a delicate yet unshakeable life

“What shakes life is not events, but untamed emotions”
Author Kim Jong-won’s emotional prescription for rebuilding emotions, mood, and attitude!

Although we are adults, we rarely properly learn how to handle our emotions. When our mood is sour, relationships waver; when anger surges, our words become harsh; and when anxiety grows, our choices become shaky. Even if we appear calm on the surface, countless emotions accumulate and intertwine within, causing us to lose our way. Ultimately, what shakes life is not a grand event, but the residue of emotions we haven't fully examined.
Kim Jong-won, a mentor to 1.2 million readers, has met many people over a long period and discovered one commonality: the lives of those swayed by emotions and those who understand emotions unfold in completely different ways. Emotion is not something to be eliminated but a signal to be understood; the more we suppress it, the more it transforms and disturbs us rather than disappearing. This book does not define emotions as problems but asks what our current emotions are telling us. The moment we understand our emotions, we begin to seek the cause of our lives from within, not from without.
"Adult's 100-Day Transcription Notebook for Nurturing Emotions" does not categorize emotions as good or bad. Instead, it calmly guides us on how to view, express, and adjust our emotions. Anger and anxiety, regret and jealousy, loneliness and joy—all emotions are ingredients that make up life. What matters is how we use them. Nurturing emotions is not about suppressing them, but about observing their state and setting a direction.

“The moment you understand your emotions, your attitude toward life changes”
100 days of reading and writing to "tune yourself"!

The biggest feature of this book is that it allows you to learn the 'language of emotion'. Emotions that are not properly expressed remain distorted, exaggerated emotions spoil our mood, and a spoiled mood affects our attitude. However, with appropriate language, emotions do not destroy our lives but create an opportunity for self-reflection. Especially in this process, transcription becomes good training to observe our inner state by copying sentences by hand. While reading and writing, emotions are organized, and organized emotions solidify our attitude.
Dignity comes from attitude, and relationships are an extension of attitude. So, where does the root of that attitude begin? It is emotion. We cannot speak of dignity without understanding emotions, and we cannot maintain relationships without adjusting emotions. Nurturing emotions ultimately means living a long life for ourselves and choosing a life that is not consumed.
100 days is enough time for a habit to take root. By copying one page of sentences each day, readers observe the flow of their mood, recognize the overconsumption of emotions, and check their ways of expression. Change happens slowly but is clear. After 100 days, those who were swayed by emotions will have changed into people who understand emotions, and those who were exhausted by emotions will have become people who handle emotions.
