DESCRIPTION :

I hope my book will give readers around the world a glimpse into Korean culture and will impact their lives, guiding and comforting them, even half as much as writing it changed mine. Rhee Kun Hoo

If You Live to One Hundred, You Might As Well Be Happy captivated South Korea, one of the fastest-ageing countries in the world, where it became a national bestseller and was recommended by the Library of Korea. After taking up writing in his retirement from a long, celebrated career in psychiatry, Rhee Kun Hoo has become a beloved, bestselling author in his native country. Now, his delightful wisdom is available for the first time in English.

With his ninetieth birthday on the horizon, Rhee found himself reflecting on what constitutes a life well lived. The result is If You Live to One Hundred, You Might As Well Be Happy, his collection of charming life lessons. Here, Rhee offers comfort, laughter and wisdom for readers of all ages, from burnt-out millennials to reflective retirees, exploring:

* The happiness and liberation of forgiving others and yourself.

* Why the traps of modern society the rat race, competition, expectations and the conventions of modern family arent worth getting caught in. And how you should live your life on your own terms.

* Why you should face up to your insecurities and biases about your ageing, mortal self, sooner rather than later, and embrace the overlooked rewards of growing old.

* How good company isnt hard to find, its never too late to make new friends and youre never too old to connect with youth. You just need to know how.

* Why we should never underestimate the power of ordinary happiness.

Life is a story you should read until the very last page. No one ever knows what the world has in store for you.
