In a world where it can seem impossible to feel you are ever good enough, and where it’s easy to judge yourself by the unrealistic standards, I Decided to Live as Me offers guidance and encouragement for celebrating yourself and feeling comfortable in your own skin.
Kim Suhyun is a writer and illustrator based in Seoul. In her own life, she realized that her self-esteem was the biggest battle she was facing. Surrounded by friends, co-workers, and especially social media, she couldn’t stop herself from comparing her life to others and measuring her successes against them. Recognizing that this was a dilemma that many people were facing, she decided to write her book in the hopes that it can provide comfort and advice to anyone else who has ever felt the same.
With her charming illustrations and uplifting language, Kim has reached millions of readers who have found inspiration in her journey of self-love. I Decided to Live as Me teaches you that by freeing yourself from the pressure of other people's expectations, you can focus on what truly matters: living not for anyone else, but for yourself.
In this episode of Author Talks, Kim Suhyun is joined by Anton Hur, who translated I Decided to Live as Me, to discuss her English debut.
