About the Lecture
"I am often asked, 'How can I write in a way that touches other people's hearts?'" Writing that empathizes with the wounded hearts of others and heals one’s own pain and sorrow has long been a central theme for Jeong Yeoul. Author of numerous books such as *The Road to Hesse*, *The Time Literature Is Needed*, *The Courage to Write to the End*, *Vincent My Vincent*, *Top 10 Europe I Loved*, and *Things I Wish I Had Known Back Then,* Jeong Yeoul has been exploring writing that fosters empathy and healing, satisfying both reason and emotion. In this lecture, we will delve into everything about writing, from the basics to the life of a writer, focusing on her books *The Courage to Write to the End* and *Sensitivity Class.*
