I Want to Die but I Still Want to Eat Tteokbokki Summary

I Want to Die but I Still Want to Eat Tteokbokki: further conversations with my psychiatrist. Sequel to the Sunday Times and International bestselling Korean therapy memoir by Baek Sehee

The sequel to the Sunday Times and international-bestselling South Korean therapy memoir, translated by International Booker Prizeshortlisted Anton Hur When Baek Sehee started recording her sessions with her psychiatrist, her hope was to create a reference for herself. She never imagined she would reach so many people, especially young people, with her reflections. I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki became a runaway bestseller in South Korea, Indonesia, and the U.S., and reached a community of readers who appreciated depression and anxiety being discussed with such intimacy. Baeks struggle with dysthymia continues in I Want to Die but I Still Want to Eat Tteokbokki. And healing is a difficult process; the inner conflict she experiences in treatment becomes more complex, more challenging. With this second book, Baek Sehee reaches out to hold the hands of all those for whom grappling with everyday despair is part of a lifelong project, part of the journey.
