I Decided to Live as Me
Translated by Anton Hur
How to Stop Comparing Yourself to Others So You Can Learn to Love Yourself
The million-copy Korean phenomenon on how to find the strength to be yourself. As seen being read by BTS's Jungkook on Bon Voyage, the hit reality TV show following K-pop sensation BTS!
Don't be kind to those who aren't kind to you.
Remember that no one lives a perfect life.
Don't be swayed by what others say.
Don't try too hard to get along with everyone.
As soon as Kim Suhyun graduated into the adult world, she faced a harsh reality. Everywhere she looked people stepped on each other to get ahead, obsessed over money, and judged others based on the unrealistic standards they saw on social media. It seemed impossible not to compare herself to others and feel that she was ever good enough.
With words of comfort and charming illustrations throughout, Kim Suhyun will inspire you on your own journey of self-love, self-acceptance and self-compassion. Blending self-help and memoir, I Decided to Live as Me will help you free yourself from the pressures of living up to other people's expectations and focus on what truly matters- living not for anyone else, but for yourself.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
