The Korean Book Importing Success Story of Diamond, a Japanese Publisher

The Korean Book Importing Success Story of Diamond, a Japanese Publisher   2021.07.05   Why Diamond acquired the publication rights of the book, I Almost Lived Too Hard   It was April 2019 when I heard about the book I Almost Lived Too Hard (Woongjin ThinkBig) (Japanese title: あやうく一生懸命生きるところだった).

Books related to emotional sicknesses such as depression and stress were trending in the Japanese publishing market around that time, and there was already the atmosphere among the public that the book’s topic of “not living to the fullest” might be accepted. As I also had a time when my mind was very distressed, I wanted to present this book to people with “exhausted minds.”Besides, it was around that time that another bestselling Korean book, I Decided to Live As Myself (Woods of Mind’s Books) (Japanese title: 私は私のままで生きることにした) began ...
