Candid exploration of depression and Korean cuisine.

If you've ever felt the dual pang of existential dread and comfort food cravings, Sehee's memoir could resonate deeply. It's a heartrendingly honest journey through mental health struggles, peppered with moments of relatable humor and a love of tteokbokki, a spicy Korean dish. The recommendation from BTS might intrigue you, but it's the raw storytelling and cultural insights that will likely linger long after you close the book.

Description

The South Korean runaway bestseller, debut author Baek Se-Hee’s intimate therapy memoir—think Crying in H Mart meets Maybe You Should Talk to Someone. Baek Sehee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her depression. She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgmental of others. She hides her feelings well at work and with friends; adept at performing the calmness, even ease, her lifestyle demands. The effort is exhausting, overwhelming, and keeps her from forming deep relationships. But if she's so hopeless, why can she always summon a yen for her favorite street food: the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Recording her dialogues with her psychiatrist over a 12-week period, Baek begins to disentangle the feedback loops, knee-jerk reactions, and harmful behaviors that keep her locked in a cycle of self-abuse. Part memoir, part self-help book, I Want to Die But I Want to Eat Tteokbokki is a book to keep close and to reach for in times of darkness. It will appeal to anyone who has ever felt alone or unjustified in their everyday despair.
