역행자
대부분의 사람들은 유전자와 본성의 명령을 그대로 따르기 때문에 평범함을 벗어날 수 없다. 하지만 정작 자신은 이를 모른 채 ‘나는 달라’ 하는 자의식에 사로잡혀서 무한 합리화에 빠져 살아간다. 스스로가 얼마나 많은 정신적, 심리적 오류를 저지르는지 알지 못한 채 매일 똑같은 쳇바퀴를 돌 뿐이다. 왜 우리는 진짜 자유를 얻지 못하는가? 왜 늘 돈 이야기를 하면서도 평생 돈에 허덕이는가?
저자 역시 스무 살까지는 이런 쳇바퀴에 갇혀 있었기 때문에, 그 상황을 누구보다 잘 알았다. 자청의 첫 책 『역행자』에는 가난한 인생에서 벗어나 경제적 자유와 행복을 얻은 저자가 깨달은 인생 레벨업 치트키가 빼곡히 담겨 있다. 10대 때의 그는 외모, 돈, 공부, 그 어떤 것에서도 최하위였다. 그러던 스무 살 무렵, ‘인생에도 게임처럼 공략집이 있다’는 사실을 깨닫고 삶이 180도 바뀌기 시작한다. 200여 권의 책을 독파하며 얻은 인생의 치트키들을 활용해 창업에 연이어 성공한 것이다.
‘연봉 10억 무자본 창업가’로 유명해진 그는 2020년, 단 20개의 영상으로 10만 구독자를 넘어서며 화제를 모았으나 곧장 미련 없이 유튜브를 그만뒀다. 이후 본업인 온라인 마케팅 비즈니스를 비롯해 다방면으로 사업을 확장하고 있다. 그 사이 ‘라이프해커 자청’이라는 캐릭터와 ‘무자본 창업’이라는 개념은 사람들의 고정관념을 깨는 상징이 됐다. 자청이 찾아낸 ‘역행자의 7단계 모델’을 통해 함께 ‘인생의 추월차선’으로 향하자.

95% of humans live as they were born to do. People call them rationalists. 5% of humans have the ability to go against nature. With this ability, you can gain freedom in life and enjoy financial freedom.
Look at the chickens on the farm. Can we say that these people have free will? These chickens live in confined enclosures. Chickens live according to genetic instructions by eating feed, mating, laying eggs, and sometimes fighting with other chickens. And in the end, the chicken becomes a chicken. From a human perspective, this chicken's fate is decided at birth. The radius of a chicken's activities and the end of its life are all determined.
Human life is not much different from chicken life. Humans also have fences. This fence is made up of genes, unconsciousness, and self-consciousness. This cumbersome fence determines the fate of humans just like chickens. Humans live thinking that they have free will and are special beings, but this is all a delusion. Everyone thinking the same way means having ordinary thoughts. A person who only thinks ordinary thoughts can never achieve freedom. Let’s assume that a chicken trains itself to become a ‘super chicken’ that can defeat a tiger and breaks through the fence. This chicken can be said to have found true freedom. Now this chicken's last moments won't be fried chicken.
I really like Schopenhauer, but I think he is wrong when he says that life is suffering. Life is an ‘amazing playground.’
Read or write for 2 hours a day and rest the rest of the time. It's the best way to upgrade your brain.
The reason I was constantly angry all this time was because I mistakenly thought I was a great person. It was just that my bowl was small, so even when I poured water into it, it overflowed. When I thought about it, the only thing I was good at was counseling. I didn't know how to do anything, including management, accounting, taxes, and general affairs. I only earned as much as I could, and it was a mistake to think that I could earn tens of millions of won on my own. It wasn't anyone's fault that I didn't have a penny until I was almost 30 and that all my business disappeared. That was my skill. Once I thoroughly acknowledged this, I stopped blaming people. And I started to see what I should do from now on. People only take as much money as they deserve. ‘Let’s focus on our own problems rather than blaming others.’
As a child, I was really good at games. The secret was simple. After playing a new game with my friends, I would go home and secretly read the strategy guide posted on the website bulletin board. My friends only played hundreds of games, but I focused on reading strategy books rather than increasing the number of games. There was no comparison when I secretly studied for a week or two and then played the game. I have always been able to outsmart my friends. I was able to overwhelmingly beat my friend who had played hundreds of games by playing only 100 games. It was thanks to the game strategy book.
the universe helps you as much as you believe
There are some people who innately like making money and are good at it, but most people have no interest in making money. Surprising? No, it's not. Everyone talks about money, so it seems like we are very interested in money (or even though we are interested, we pretend not to be), but in reality, we don’t ‘really’ want to make money. This is because they do not take ‘actions’ related to making money. They are closer to dreamers who only have a vague ‘idea’ of wanting to make a lot of money.
Even if you read this book and suddenly decide, ‘I have to live rich starting tomorrow,’ nothing will happen. Therefore, it is important to create an ‘environment’ to change identity.
Since the genes we were born with are already unavoidable, we just try to achieve what we want by manipulating the environment.
Humans have enormous limitations. Many often fail at goals and rationalize that it's okay. It is by no means a strong-willed animal. I don't achieve my goals because I'm amazing. I simply acknowledge my human limitations and my own limitations. So, I always create results by adjusting my identity and creating an environment without trusting my will. I never trust myself. The very belief that humans are not special actually helps us achieve better results than others.
1. Create a blog and write an article about anything (start with a timer for exactly 20 minutes).2. Open a YouTube channel and upload any video on your phone (start this too with a timer of exactly 20 minutes).3. If you don't like options 1 and 2, just do one of the things you've been interested in recently (like reading for 20 minutes).Well, did you do it? Probably not. It's not surprising. Even if 100 people read it, 99 people do not do a single item. Do you know what this means? Even if you ask people to do something that only takes 20 minutes, they won't do it. That's why life is really easy.99 out of 100 people are driven by money or because of someone's surveillance and punishment. This is because we live only according to the commands of our instincts and genes. So most people cannot escape from mediocrity. Poor and unhappy. Very few people actively do anything. Therefore, people with high executive ability easily achieve financial freedom in the game of life. Get true freedom.This one person out of 100 is always active. This person does something without being told to do so. If you repeat this decision and action 10 or 100 times and gain inertia, life becomes much easier. Once momentum is gained, inertia leads to repetitive execution. Just like you wake up in the morning, go to wash your face, and wash your hair, the practice itself becomes a habit.Do the three things I mentioned earlier. Doing small things isn't going to change your life dramatically in a year. However, if you do not do the bare minimum of turning the wheel for the first time, it will remain the same for the rest of your life. It's difficult the first time. 99% of people don't even do this, so even if you do just one, you're taking the hardest first step. And the momentum of the top 1 percent is gained. Please don't rationalize with nonsense like this. Are you going to live like a puppet of your true nature? Shut up and do something. People who say they are grateful and want to repay me have a simple thing in common. They are just people who did what I told them to do without any excuses. It can be done in just 20 minutes, so what's the point? If you don't have the skills right now, you need to get into the habit of keeping your mouth shut and just 'doing' things that don't take much time. Do you want to achieve financial freedom? So, no matter what happens today, do one of the three tasks mentioned in the previous blog post. Those who do it and those who don't will walk down completely different paths.
People do these things to make others happy.1. Celebrities make money by making people happy with their looks and talents. 2. Make money by planning funny videos and uploading them to YouTube 3. Nexon made money by providing fun and new games to the entire nation 4. Netflix made money by providing interesting dramas to people around the world
What happens if you pile up 20 books and read them? Your head becomes completely filled with that content. Just as everything appears to be a nail to a person holding a hammer, if you read 20 marketing books, everything in the world appears to be an example of marketing. Your head automatically turns in that direction, and your identity begins to change.
When I read over 200 books in the winter when I was 20, 95% of them were subpar by my standards. Still, the authors of those books were overwhelmingly superior to my level at the time. Even a stupid author can publish a book if he or she has a lot of confidence, execution skills, and material. This means that he is at least of a higher level than you.

“당신도 부자가 될 수 있다”라는 쉬운 문구에 속아 넘어 책만 팔고 구체적인 아이디어는 하나도 언급 안 하는 장사꾼들은 차고 넘친다. 반면에 자청은 근본부터 뿌리뽑아 속부터 자기 자신을 변화 시켜야 모든 게 가능하다고 친절하게 설명해 줄 뿐 아니라, 어떻게 그 변화를 이룰 수 있는지, 그리고 우리나라 배경에서 자라난 현대 세대에게 어떤 변화가 필요한지 자세히 설명해 주고 있다. 잘만 써먹는다면 부자가 될 뿐만 아니라, 끄끝내는 행복하게 - 우리 모두가 원하는 것이기에 - 도와주는 가이드북이라 감히 말할 수 있다.
자청 님, 이런 책을 써 주셔서 감사합니다!

자기계발 책을 많이 접하지 않은 나에게는 자기계발, 경제적 자유을 향한 현실적인 방법들이 많아서 좋았던 책. 또 쉽게 읽혀서 좋았다. 이 책에 있는 단계들을 밟아 보려 한다.

안하고 못했다는 변명의 싹을 무참히 짓밟아주는 책. 오늘 나 살고 숨쉬고 있다면 읽고 각성하라. 빨간알약 파란 알약의 선택기로에 나를 밀어넣자.

Lots of fun to read. I especially appreciate the humility exhibited.
희망찬 관점을 아픈게 심어주는 흥미로운 책이다. 그리고 아무것도 없는자들이 얼마나 힘들게 출발해야 하는지를 생각하게 해 주는 책.
