If you're going to live for 100 years, you might as well live happily

Living a long life is good, living a long life without ruminating is much better!

It is very likely that you will live to be 100, or even over 90! But in what emotional and psychological state? Living a long life is good, living a long life without ruminating is much better!

The famous Korean psychiatrist and best-selling author, Rhee Kun Hoo, at over 90 years old, shares with us, based on his experience, his best advice for making our longer lives more tranquil rivers.

He then imparts some unwavering wisdom, opens up the prospect of savoring the too-often neglected rewards of aging, and warns us against the pitfalls of modern society, not forgetting a few tips for maintaining an unbreakable connection with younger generations. Most importantly, he teaches us to delight in ordinary happiness.

Whether you are exhausted millennials or thoughtful retirees, do not be afraid of getting old, because the comfort, joy, and wisdom it provides are worth all the youth in the world and, as our delightful author says, "Life is a story that must be read to the very
last page. No one ever knows what the world has in store for you."

📖 The opinion of the Librairie du Grimoire Ancien

By our editorial & librarian committee

Rhee Kun Hoo, a celebrated Korean psychiatrist and best-selling author, at over 90 years old, has penned an essential book of wisdom on the art of aging happily. Published by First, this work transcends a simple self-help guide to become a true testament to life, rooted in Eastern experience and wisdom.

What makes this book so powerful is its authenticity: Rhee Kun Hoo doesn't just theorize about aging, he lives it and shares it with benevolent clarity. His formula "living a long life without ruminating" summarizes a philosophy of life that prioritizes mental serenity over mere physical longevity. He teaches us to "delight in ordinary happiness," that ability to savor the small joys that youth, in its frantic pace, too often neglects.

The author subtly explores the "too-often neglected rewards of aging": wisdom, perspective, the ability to discern the essential, serene detachment from the world's turbulence. His final quote — "Life is a story that must be read to the very last page" — invites us to embrace every age of life with curiosity and gratitude.

We recommend this book to readers of all ages, from "exhausted millennials" to "thoughtful retirees," and to anyone seeking authentic wisdom on the art of aging. A valuable guide for transforming longevity into a blessing.

Our rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ — An authentic testament to life that transforms the fear of aging into the wisdom of living.
