Overview: Why do I live as a small human being in this huge universe? The answer to this question is simple and clear. It is to feel genuine happiness. Then, another question arises. How and what makes one happy?

And this question cannot be answered right away. Feeling genuine happiness is something that can’t be achieved easily in this world, where many complicated circumstances are intertwined.

In order to feel genuine happiness, one must understand oneself, know about the world and see through the universe. You are the one who feels happiness, you can’t be happy simply by yourself, and happiness is the universe’s response to your choices.

Verdict: This book contains the principles by which the universe responds to your choices. It contains the very specific details. This book elucidates the five constitutions of your mind to help you understand yourself, and it explains the nine essences of how you communicate with the universe to help you understand your fate.

Based on such understanding, it guides you to the path to happiness. We ought to be happy, because happiness is the fate, as well as an obligation, that we little human beings, living in this huge universe, have.

So, I hear you ask, what are these aforementioned five constitutions of your mind that author Yoon-Jeong Kim wishes us to know more about here in the truly fascinating, yet wordy titled How & What to Pursue in Life: 5 Pillars of Mind On HOW to Live / 9 Absolute Values of Chakras WHAT We Should Live For.

Well, they are: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water, and this five elements theory is one of the central concepts of traditional Chinese medicine. Furthermore, the five elements theory is a framework used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to explain how we’re influenced by the world and weather around us, and how the organs of the body interact with each other.

I myself have been aware for the longest time that this five phases theory is a framework that’s been used for at least 2400 years in traditional Chinese medicine. Indeed, from the perspective of TCM, understanding which of the five elements has a dominant effect on you right now, can give you insight into your personal strengths and weaknesses.

If you’re feeling imbalanced, low in energy, or simply out-of-whack, understanding the elemental influences at play is also a quick way to help you know the kind of imbalances to watch out for, and guide you to simple steps you can take to restore harmony and balance.

And thus we come full circle back to this new book from Yoon-Jeong Kim this March, and as much as it covers much more than just those discussed above, to me personally, I have always been fascinated by the five elements theory.

For, as aforementioned, in order to feel genuine happiness, one must understand oneself, know about the world and see through the universe. You are the one who feels happiness, you can’t be happy simply by yourself, and happiness is the universe’s response to your choices.

In closing, How & What to Pursue in Life: 5 Pillars of Mind On HOW to Live / 9 Absolute Values of Chakras WHAT We Should Live For is a book that is dutifully impassioned, magnificently hued toward an ease of understanding and learning, and is something that if left on your coffee table for guests to peruse, will have gone home with one of them the very first night!
