Deprivation is one of the dominant feelings among people living in the twenty-first century. Like many other books dealing with loneliness, a book dealing with psychological aspects of feeling of deprivation is needed for all of us. This book aims to cover all related aspects of deprivation feelings including loneliness, self-esteem, self-image, and narcissism. When we can see our inner deprivation feelings more objectively, we can hope to escape from these painful feelings. This short book will guide you on the way out of the deprivation feeling.

Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis by J.D. Vance

I recently discovered this book by chance, just before Trump was re-elected President of the United States. It piqued my interest, so I decided to read it. It turned out to be even better than I expected. This could be the most impressive book I've read this year.  The author, who grew up in a poor white household, shares his thoughts and feelings about the cultural dissonance he experienced after entering Yale Law School. He also explores his complex emotions toward his family, leading to moments of deep compassion, and his reflections on personal growth, which I found very moving.  I resonated deeply with the content, and I believe that this book honestly and skillfully captures a life that deserves to be documented, both in the United States and Korea. Perhaps as I age, I’ve become more conservative and agree with many of the author’s views. Writing such a personal book is a tough decision and not a simple process. I commend the author for vividly capturing his experiences ...

Corruptible: Who Gets Power and How It Changes Us by Brian Klaas

In this book published in 2021, the author tried to find answers to the questions raised: who gets the power, why do people corrupt after gaining power, and what should we do to prevent such corruption? Personally, I read this book to understand more why authorities that I’ve met or heard acted like that. As it is not an easy subject, I couldn’t get one obvious answer, but the author coherently tried to give answers from various aspects encompassing evolutionary, psychological, and historical perspectives. Interesting anecdotes, interviews, and academic pieces of evidence altogether help us get a glimpse of the ‘true or core answer’, but still makes us feel ‘couldn’t get it done’. Nonetheless, I consider that this book can be the possible best answer to this complex topic. It is worth reading with only relevant knowledge in various fields and interesting stories presented in this book. It is often said that power corrupts, but according to this book, people who are attracted to power a...

Source Code/> My Beginnings> Bill Gates

The book was more enjoyable than I expected, so I ended up reading it faster than I had anticipated. I didn’t know that Bill Gates was so obsessed with computers during his adolescence and that he founded Microsoft before the age of 20.  His natural talent for mathematics and boundless energy also surprised me . Among the book’s contents, what impressed me most were his mother’s passionate involvement in his education, his programming projects with high school seniors, a programming contract he secured while still a teenager, the development process of BASIC during his college years, the founding of Microsoft, and the legal disputes related to the BASIC program license. Bill Gates is almost the same age as our parents, but his educational environment and upbringing seem more advanced than those of the younger generations in Korea. It was interesting to experience indirectly the development of a device called the personal computer through Bill Gates' autobiography. Establishin...
