The New Human Force ──The Declaration —”I Will Change Myself”

How can we change ourselves and how should we change? This book provides clear and concrete paths and methods for this.

Introduction
The keyword of this era is “change”. What is needed in order for society, the era and the world to change is actually for each of us to change ourself. How then, can we change ourselves and how should we change? This book provides clear and concrete paths and methods.

Excerpt
“I will change myself” is also the manifestation of the determination to “change everything, here and now.” Just as Copernicus’s determination radicallly transformed the world, this declaration “I will change myself” has an ongoing power. It is a force that wells up from a profound prayer for the world to which we entrust everything. (From Chapter 1 ─ A New Declaration)
