Summary
In his seventies and retired from a distinguished career in psychiatry, Rhee Kun Hoo began a new chapter as a writer. During his younger years, Professor Rhee led a remarkable life marked by conviction and service—he was imprisoned for standing against a totalitarian regime, played a key role in reforming South Korea’s early mental health system, and raised a family of four. Now, to his own surprise, a bestselling and cherished author in South Korea, Rhee reflects on the often-overlooked richness of growing older. Through his writing, he shares insights on living meaningfully—embracing forgiveness, knowing when to persevere or let go, confronting self-doubt, and savoring the small joys of daily life. This heartwarming Korean bestseller offers thoughtful advice on achieving simple contentment at any stage of life and reminds us that every chapter of our story matters—right up to the final page.
