This book covers nine themes related to facing absolute solitude—solitude, choice, pausing and self-healing, wounds, time, the struggle with oneself, challenge, dreams, and the meaning of life—and richly captures the meaning and wisdom these themes offer to our lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author emphasizes that even when absolute solitude approaches, one must not be overwhelmed by the situation but must silently endure that time, just as Genghis Khan said, “I became Genghis Khan because I won the battle against myself.” This book will serve as a reliable companion, like a friend or a mentor, for those struggling through their own time of absolute solitude amidst change and hardship. Furthermore, for those seeking new directions and challenges in life, this will serve as \"mental preparation\" for the time they will spend walking alone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e[About the Author]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Ko Do-won\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor Ko Do-won is a person who awakens the hearts of 3.7 million people every morning with dreams and hope.
