Is it possible for a profound book about self-reflection and mind subtraction to capture the attention of the entire world? The answer is a resounding yes.
According to a feature in the Dong-a Ilbo, a Korean healing book has made history by taking the #1 spot on the overall weekly bestseller list on Amazon.com, the world’s largest online bookstore. This remarkable achievement proves that the desire for inner peace transcends all borders.
๐ A Historic Milestone in Global Literature
The groundbreaking book, “Stop Living In This Land. Go To The Everlasting World Of Happiness. Live There Forever,” was written by Woo Myung, the founder of Ma-eum Su-ryun (mind meditation).
The book took first place in 10 different Amazon categoriesโincluding meditation, self-help, and philosophyโbefore soaring to the #1 spot on the overall weekly bestseller list encompassing all categories. It is estimated that 120,000 copies of his book were sold on Amazon during that period alone.
Taking the #1 overall spot on Amazon, a platform where over 3 million books are distributed worldwide, is an incredibly rare and monumental feat for a Korean author. It demonstrates a literary “Korean Wave” (Hallyu) that is spreading deep into Western society.
๐๏ธ Transcending Culture and Religion
What makes this achievement even more interesting is that the book was released in English with almost no adaptation from the original domestic version.
How did a book filled with unfamiliar Korean geographical names and contexts captivate American readers? The publisher noted that it reflects a deep, universal interest in the mind and self-reflection.
As the founder of Ma-eum Su-ryun explains, “Ma-eum Su-ryun is a practice method that transcends all religions and cultures, and it is carried out very truthfully without any lies or deception.”
๐ง The Global Thirst for Inner Peace
In an interview regarding the book’s explosive success, the author shared his thoughts on why it resonated so deeply: “I think it is because Westerners are also interested in ways to control the mind, which is needed in daily life.”
We live in a fast-paced, stressful world. Regardless of nationality, everyone is searching for a way to relieve anxiety, let go of the past, and find true happiness. This book offered readers around the globe a clear, practical method to achieve exactly that.
Born in Uiseong, North Gyeongsang Province, Woo Myung founded the Ma-eum Su-ryun Center in 1997. Since then, the method has expanded globally, with centers helping people subtract their minds and find peace all over the world, including right here in the United States.
