Paik Ji-yeon; Joongang Books; 288 pp., 13,000 won
Paik Ji-yeon, the celebrated TV presenter and former anchor, has released a book dealing with self-development and communication tactics.
The author reveals her secrets in interviewing numerous figures over the last 20 years of her career.
``Passionate Silence’’ refers to the power of attracting the world's attention without ``shouting,’’ according to her book.
Through this message, she advises that readers prepare for the challenges in the world. It means, rather than revealing all about our future, keeping restraint in words and attitudes is the best way to take a step forward for the better future.
``Passionate silence is taking one step back, practicing once more, deepening ourselves to leap forward and reflect ourselves and prepare perfectly,’’ the book says.
Paik says it is the best tool to improve and temper ourselves. Readers can learn wisdom from her experiences which are helpful for success of job interviews, presentations and conferences. It also shows how to professionally make progress in relations with people through humble and modest character building.
