[Book] The Lincoln School of Dreams: A Great Beginning

$300


[Book Introduction]

A dream guide for the 10 million youths of South Korea who wish to move forward with dreams and confidence!

*The Great Beginning*, the Lincoln School envisioned by Go Do-won. This book serves as a stepping stone that plants dreams in the minds of youth aspiring to become happy individuals and helps them begin their own great stories. Based on the dreams and concerns of approximately 3,000 youths who passed through the "Deep Mountain Lincoln Mentor School," the book vividly portrays how these young people marked their own North Stars and transformed into great individuals as they went through four curricula: "Forming 9 Siblings," "2-Minute Speech," "Building Body and Mind," and "Finding Dreams and Dreams Beyond Dreams."

For youths who desperately need a big picture of their dreams in this global era, the book introduces various solutions for finding dreams and dreams beyond dreams. It conveys how to build dream networks through the skills of healthy relationships, and through the know-how of the author—a former presidential speechwriter—it introduces the importance of speech as the pinnacle of self-expression, as well as methods for script writing and presentation. Furthermore, by sharing secrets on reading and writing, he conveys inspiration and wisdom to teenagers seeking dreams and mentors while contemplating their future education and career paths, to parents who wish to raise their children into healthy individuals full of dreams, and to teachers.
