A psychiatrist who has treated more than 200,000 patients for forty years Self-care psychology delivered to a daughter who wants to take control of her own life “Go on your way. That’s all you need. Don’t be swayed by work and the people just passing through your life.” Psychology Letter to My Daughter is a book with thirty-seven nuggets of wisdom from a psychiatrist who has soothed broken hearts for forty years to her loving daughter. When her daughter finds a job and tells her she is marrying her boyfriend in the US where she studies, the author realizes that over the years there had been many stories she had shared with her patients but not with her dearest daughter. In this book, the author lovingly puts together some chosen insights from her professional experience as a psychiatrist, lessons she had learned as a working mother for forty years, and the stories she wants to share with her daughter as a mother. The advice in this book does not stop at giving out lifeless advice based on book knowledge, nor does it rest on pure experience without analysis or solutions. Instead, the book presents a new perspective about work, love, and relationships that women have to go through by intersecting theory and reality. It speaks of the attitudes to the life one should hold to be independent and healthy with self-love, unswerving in the face of adversity: “Be a bad daughter,” “No one asks you to be a superwoman,” “What happens when you don’t look after yourself,” “Nietzsche’s questions you have to remember when you date a man,” “If you are anxious now, that proves you’re doing well,” “Take some time off for yourself, and many problems in your life will be solved,” “Live as a firm individualist, not a lame egoist.” This new edition is revised and enlarged from Psychology Letter to My Daughter, published in 2013, selling over 100,000 readers and becoming a #1 non-fiction bestseller in Korea.
