Thou, Hire Thyself.

"Thou, Hire Thyself" is a book of Bon-Hyoung Goo, a popular bookwriter on self-improvement subjects. HF got it from his brother as a present several years ago and read it. But he found himself completely forgetting all of its contents. So, he read it again.

Goo emphasize three concepts in this book: Change, Choice, and Flow. One should embrace change, not keep away from it. One should carefully make a choice to what he change (Goo uses the word 'transform'). It's definitely good to change into what one can do best or like best, so careful choice should be taken. When the two precondition meets, one can experience Flow, the word tossed by Mihaly Csikszent in his book "Flow". Actually HF choose "Flow" after reading Goo's another book "What Can I Do Best." Both Goo and HF seem to moved by Dr. Csikszent.

All these books - "Flow", "Thou Hire Thyself", and "This Year I Will..." - tells a same story with similar tone. The same story is told by countless self-improvement books but there are something different in those 3 books, HF thinks.

자기계발에 대한 무수히 많은 책이 있고, 나한테도 꽤 많은 책이 있으나, 많은 수는 환경만을 오염시킬 뿐이다. 이 책은 추천할만하기에 글을 올려둔다.  그러나 구본형 변화경영연구소에서 나온 "나는 무엇을 잘 할 수 있는가" 책은 비추천.
