About Minjoo Moon

Hi, I’m Minjoo Moon

I’m a Christian who believes that the bible holds all the answers we need to grow into the best version of ourselves and live a purposeful, meaningful life in today’s chaotic world.

What is my work about?

I write personal development advice, or “self-help,” for those who cannot help themselves.
I challenge the whole notion of “self-help,” and the idea that you yourself are responsible for, and capable of creating substantial change in your life.
Instead of purely focusing on one aspect as most do, my work blends both faith and science as well as experiences/stories to help you live a better life.

How does my work stand out?

A lot of my advice isn’t “traditional,” and involves contrarian ideas that go against popular beliefs and social norms:

Growth and development don’t come from trying harder but trying less. The more you let go of the steering wheel, the more God can take over and work in your life.
Suffering and pain are unavoidable and an inseparable part of living. The key is to find a greater purpose worth suffering for.
Death shouldn’t be feared, but embraced – It’s what gives perspective and meaning to our lives.
Before searching for ways to get what we want out of life, we must look at why we want to attain these things – what are the underlying values and principles which drive us to do what we do?
Freedom doesn’t come from control, but through surrender. Real freedom isn’t about mastering yourself; it’s about walking with the master.

By no means do I claim to have all the answers, but luckily my work is rooted in the one who does. Although I still have a lot to learn, I’m happily sharing what I’ve discovered so far. This isn’t the be-all and end-all way to think about life, but it’s how I think about it, and I hope you’ll find it useful in some way too.
