Synopsis

This endearing, giftable guidebook by Korean bestseller Dr. Rhee reflects on the wisdom he’s learned during his life: how to forgive, persevere, and stop the rat race, plus the joys of living simply and the power of ordinary happiness. He explores his relationships with his wife, children, and grandchildren, and how to stay whole as your body naturally ages. If You’re Going to Live to 100 is a meditation on aging contently and finding peace and humor in everyday life.

Author Bio

Rhee Kun Hoo is one of Korea’s most popular, bestselling essayists and a retired psychiatrist with a cult following. Born in 1935, the only son to a former Korean Independence activist, he has lived through such historical milestones as Imperial Japan’s occupation of Korea and the Korean War. In 1960, he was arrested and served time as one of the student leaders of the April Revolution, a democratic movement against the then-dictator that would contribute to the young democracy of South Korea in the following decades. Once released, he went on to change the abusive mental health system in South Korea and was the first to implement an open ward system and patient-friendly treatments such as psychodrama therapy in the Korean asylum system.
