Do I have to go into detail?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBaek Sehee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her – what to call it? – depression? She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgemental 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. This can't be normal. But if she's so hopeless, why can she always summon a desire for her favourite street food, the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecording her conversations with her psychiatrist over 12 weeks, Baek begins to disentangle the feedback loops, knee-jerk reactions, and harmful behaviours 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki comes in three different colours; the colour you receive will be chosen at random.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 198 x 128 x 13 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781526648099\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baek Sehee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44324608344314,"sku":"9781526648099","price":8.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1688727276561_book.jpg?v=1688790297","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/i-want-to-die-but-i-want-to-eat-tteokbokki-the-bestselling-south-korean-therapy-memoir-9781526648099","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
