Product Information

each chapter brought on new issues and we slightly pick up from the previous chapter but there is no overall character growth. In the end, my hope is for people to read this book and think, I wasn’t the only person who felt like this; or, I see now that people live with this. I finished reading this book tonight, and while it wasn't what I expected, there were things about it that I enjoyed. She hides her feelings well at work and with friends, performing the calmness her lifestyle demands. And if you find a therapist similar to the author’s psychiatrist - run away and find a more competent professional.

Korea is notorious for its blasé attitude toward mental health importance and its highly stressful work and social environments, a known factor in youth suicides. What she received was several pieces of advice on how to avoid dealing with the problem, which seemed to be random ideas of her psychiatrist, not a product of their experience, qualifications and knowledge.

Recording her dialogues with her psychiatrist over a 12-week period, Baek begins to disentangle the feedback loops, knee-jerk reactions and harmful behaviours that keep her locked in a cycle of self-abuse. In a small back alley in Tokyo, there is a café which has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years.Update: Forgot to put this in my review originally but one other thing I appreciated about this book is that the author is outspoken about her feelings about mental health and it's my understanding that a lot of Asian cultures tend to frown on this, so having such a visible figure doing this in an open way and receiving support is great. In ihrem Inneren ist Baek ängstlich, verzweifelt und niedergeschlagen und begibt sich daher in eine Therapie, denn es kostet sie viel Kraft diese Fassade aufrechtzuerhalten. Baek, understandably, finds these sessions to be enlightening as through them she gains self-knowledge and a more nuanced understanding of her mental health, I did not.

This is a hard book to review or rate because according to how it is being marketed it is supposed to be "part memoir" and "part self help", but then, it is neither. It’s hard, it’s a long game, and although probably life changing, it doesn’t feel like it at the time. Now, on the one hand, I appreciated reading these sessions as they lead to discussions on self-esteem, depression, anxiety, peer pressure, one’s desire to fit in and be liked, toxic relationships, etc. I also wanted to feel comfortable, to feel safe, to speak and laugh, but my words just crumbled in my mouth. But if you’re someone who thinks that Sarah Kane’s work is too ‘heavy’, maybe Baek is just right for you.And to conclude, this Freudian bale of hay ultimately validated my feelings (of not being the right reader for the book). At times it feels more like reading someone's diary than it does something that was written for consumption by the public.
