09. The Art of Communicating_Thich Nhat Hanh

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfFPqL-nE4c Author - Thich Nhat Hanh Book - The Art of Communicating Quotes When we begin to practice mindful awareness, we start the path home to ourselves. If you’re truly happy, we all profit from your happiness. We need happy people in this world. Deep listening has the power to help us create a moment of joy, a moment of happiness, and to help us handle a painful emotion. When you breathe, allow the larger world to breathe for you. When you’re angry, allow your anger to be released and to be embraced by the larger community. Our communication is what we put out into the world and what remains after we have left it. Karma is the triple action of our thoughts, our speech, and our bodily actions. Our thoughts, speech, and actions are our real continuation.

08. The Big Prize_Meike Winnemuth

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6UYAsaDY9s Author - Meike Winnemuth Book - Das große Los / The Big Prize / 나는 떠났다 그리고 자유를 배웠다 Quotes According to the anthropologist, people at the liminality stage usually pretend that they have already achieved their goal. In other words, ‘Fake it till you make it’. Like an archeologist, I’m exploring myself and excavating the remains of my life in the living room. This is the most interesting part of the trip that you are open to everything. Max Frisch, the Swiss playwright, said that “When we travel, we are like a film at the moment of exposure; it is a memory that will develop it.” The greatest thing about my life is that I don’t know what’s waiting for me.

07. No Flower Blooms Without Wavering_Do Jong-Hwan

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS9GqMrSoW8 Author - Do Jong-Hwan / Translator - Brother Anthony & Jinna Park (도종환) Book - No Flower Blooms Without Wavering (흔들리며 피는 꽃)  Quotes Though the flowers are soaked by day-long rain, their fragrance is not diluted. On nights when the one I loved grew unlovely, my overflowing heart, that seemed to know nothing of love and more about hate, was so foolish and troubled. There was no path of pain that I could avoid taking. There were some paths that I ought not to go by and some that I really did not want to walk along, but now, on looking back, having taken all those paths I have arrived here. What flower blooms without wavering? Even the loveliest flowers in the world always waver as they bloom, waver as they straighten their stems, So what love does not waver as it goes its way? If the trees standing in rows on the hill are beautiful, it’s on account of the empty space behind the trees which silently embraces them.

06. The Hidden Pleasures of Life_Theodore Zeldin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2o-bUy05tE Author - Theodore Zeldin Book - The Hidden Pleasures of Life (인생의 발견) Publisher - Hachette UK (번역본: 어크로스) Quotes The world is what is revealed when we each say what we see when we all shine our faint torches on it. I cherish the moments when other people’s thoughts do not arrive simply asking for a quiet place to sit in my memory but seem to press a button in my head that switches on the light, illuminating my beliefs on that particular subject, clarifying them by juxtaposing a contrasting view and stimulating a modification I had not previously imagined. Originally most civilizations did not separate the past from the present: constant and attentive discussion with dead ancestors was the basis on which they planned their future and how they tried to avoid disagreement. For them, the dead were as alive as the living. Punctuality and efficiency have often become slave-masters, whipping people to cram more activities and achievements into every day, forcing them to surrender their personal rhythms to fixed, anonymous timetables. Humanity is increasingly split not just by privilege, but also by temperament, between those who appreciate regularity and ordered life, content to fit into what society has arranged for them so that they do not have to constantly make decisions for themselves, and those who want to be in control of what they do and when they do it, to perform each activity at their own speed, to obtain a good part of their pleasure from surprises, variety, and improvisation. Freedom is not merely a right, but a skill to be acquired, the skill to view the world through different lenses, through lenses other than one’s own, the skill to imagine what no-one has imagined before, to find beauty or meaning or inspiration. Each life is a fable about freedom.

05. On Liberty_John Stuart Mill

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=witz9mWcEnY Author - John Stuart Mill (서병훈 옮김) Book - On Liberty (자유론) Quotes Complete liberty of contradicting and disproving our opinion is the very condition which justifies us in assuming its truth for purposes of action. It really is of importance, not only what men do, but also what manner of men they are that do it. Among the works of man, which human life is rightly employed in perfecting and beautifying, the first in importance surely is man himself. Human nature is not a machine to be built after a model and set to do exactly the work prescribed for it, but a tree, which requires to grow and develop itself on all sides, according to the tendency of the inward forces which make it a living thing. It makes a vast difference both in our feelings and in our conduct towards him whether he displeases us in things in which we think we have a right to control him, or in things in which we know that we have not.

04. Hyeon Kim's Words of Love_Cheol Hwa Park

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmuUnIKVxTM Author - Cheol Hwa Park (박철화) Book - Hyeon Kim’s Words of Love (김현, 따뜻하게 타오르는 사랑의 말) Quotes Literature is the deepest, most diverse, and delicate variation of the phrase 'I love you'. It is the nature of existence to be one with others through Eros. I became mature enough to know that life is eventually a fight against meaninglessness, and literature is an 'open format' that is comprehensively exploring its meaning. Criticism does not always mean attack or rejection. Rather, the real criticism is to show the maxim of love that can be reached.

03. The Forest Unseen_David G. Haskell

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB59EXPajJE Author - David G. Haskell Book - The forest unseen (숲에서 우주를 보다) Quotes I realized that all stories are partly wrapped in fiction - the fiction of simplifying assumptions, of cultural myopia, and of storytellers’ pride. I learned to revel in the stories but not to mistake them for the bright, ineffable nature of the world. The world does not center on me or on my species. The causal center of the natural world is a place that humans had no part in making. Life transcends us. It directs our gaze outward. Watching ourselves and watching the world are not in opposition; by observing the forest, I have come to see myself more clearly. The interior quality of our minds is itself a great teacher of natural history. It is here that we learn that “nature” is not a separate place. I have glimpsed how rich science is but simultaneously how limited in scope and in spirit. It is unfortunate that the practice of listening generally has no place in the formal training of scientists.

02. The Art of Travel_Alain de Botton

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCRQAMTzMP0 Author - Alain de Botton  Book - The Art of Travel (여행의 기술) Quotes Humboldt could create his own categories of value without either following or deliberately rebelling against the hierarchies of others. He was free to think that everything, or perhaps nothing, might be interesting. Nature’s ‘loveliness’ might in turn, according to Wordsworth, encourage us to locate the good in ourselves. The pleasure we derive from a journey may be dependent more on the mindset we travel with than on the destination we travel to. They had fallen into the habit of considering their universe to be boring and their universe had duly fallen into line with their expectations.

01. Intro + Who knows if it's good or bad_Ryu Shiva

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR2hol8_19g&t=425s Author - Ryu Shiva (류시화) Book - Who knows if it's good or bad (좋은지 나쁜지 누가 아는가) Quotes Life sometimes seems to take us on a different path than our plan, but that might be the way our heart wants. Every connection is meaningful. No one comes to our lives without any reason. To care for others wisely without draining our soul, compassion and calmness must be balanced. With two people, there are two ways to look at things. If there are 6 billion people, there are 6 billion worlds.
