«I Want to Live at My Own Pace»
We live by rules built on traditional societal expectations, such as entering university, finding a good job, and starting a family. Ha Van asks who set these «rules» and whether one must follow them for life to be considered successful. Realizing he was chasing this ideal life, he decided to stop and rethink his path. He quit his job and began searching for answers to fundamental questions of life, starting a personal experiment that was risky but important for his inner growth.
In this book, Ha Van candidly and seriously shares his fears and thoughts, seasoning them with humor through ironic illustrations. He depicted himself as a character in underwear, symbolizing the desire to break free from societal expectations and find his own values. This combination of seriousness and humor helped him and may help you more easily accept reality and consider the possibility of finding your own path and moving along it at your own pace, rather than following well-trodden paths.
