“A day well spent is a life well lived.”
This is one of those books that I read at the time of my life when I needed it most, at a crossroad between continuing my studies and going into the workforce, between moving away and staying home. It explores what it means to be successful, to live a good life in the intense capitalist society in South Korea.
Hwang focused on the lives of the different characters of the book who are so different yet had one thing in common– they are taking a break, allowing themselves to live slowly and deliberately, and explore what it’ts like to live a different life from the one they’ve been taught to strive for.
It’s a slow kind of book you can pick up and put down for a chapter whenever you have the time. It’s quite popular right now, and I think it’s worth every bit of hype it’s getting.
