Description
I Want to Die But I Want to Eat Tteokbokki by Baek Sehee is a relatable and honest memoir that combines therapy sessions with the author’s personal thoughts. The book focuses on Baek Sehee’s struggles with mental health, mainly depression and anxiety, and her journey to understand herself better.
The title is eye-catching and perfectly captures the internal conflict many people face—wanting to enjoy life’s simple pleasures while dealing with darker feelings. Baek shares her experiences with her therapist in a series of conversations. Each session is followed by her reflections, giving readers a deep look into her thoughts and emotions. She talks about self-doubt, insecurity, and the pressure to be perfect. Her words are raw and genuine, making it easy for readers to connect with her struggles.
What makes this book unique is its conversational style. It’s not a typical self-help book; instead, it feels like reading someone’s personal diary. Baek’s questions and concerns are ones many people have asked themselves. The way she explores mental health is simple yet powerful. It doesn’t offer quick solutions or life-changing advice but instead focuses on understanding and accepting our feelings.
