This book is a compilation of 12 comments/speeches by Jae Seung Jung. He goes through various areas of science such as neurology, economy, IT and so on. I liked the general theme of this book where he focuses on a creative, active and "revolutionary" life. Even though I can imagine why Koreans would love this type of talk, it was not really new to me. I think it's also strongly related to the educational difference between Korea and Europe that the texts didn't really touch me. Also, I'm sure that it would have been much better to listen to him actually speak to a live audience.

Nevertheless, if you felt like changing your life through "12 steps" and don't know where to start at all, I would highly recommend this. He introduces many different and technical terms in an easy-going way. I didn't really expect this to be kind of a self-help book. Since I have expected to read a more science-based book, I was kind of disappointed.

A collection of twelve public lectures on science, technology, human behavior and brain.
Interesting cross of fields- wish there were more contents from his own research. Enjoyed ch. 9 and 10.

내가 좋아라 하는 연구들을 한국어로 정리해 놓아서 반가웠던 책. 그리고 AI와 machine learning 에 대해서 공부도 됐다. 약간 self help 스럽긴 했는데 온전한 연구에 기반한, 그리고 연구결과를 비약하지 않는 해결책들이 마음에 들었다.

A collection of 12 insightful lectures by a respectful scientist, his most recent research focusing on the brain and cognitive sciences.

“나는 어디에서 누구와 무슨 일을 하며 살 것인가? 이 질문에 정말로 답하고 싶다면, 일만 들여다 보지 말고 놀이에서 해답을 찾아 보세요. 일과 놀이를 함께 성찰할 때, 우리는 더 나은 대답을 찾을 수 있습니다. 그 안에서 우리를 발견할 수 있습니다.“

과학은 어렵고 재미없다는 편견을 깨주는 재미있는 책..아마도 정재승님의 유머가 한몫한것 같다
