John Kim

The author of I Used to Be a Miserable F*ck, The Angry Therapist, now teaches you how to prioritize your relationship with yourself and live a more meaningful life, whether you’re alone, dating, or with a partner. There’s more to life than loving someone. But being single can feel like a death sentence. Why does being alone = being lonely? And why do we stop working on ourselves when we’re in a relationship? After a painful divorce, “The Angry Therapist” John Kim realized he had never truly been on his own. He went on a journey to rebuild his relationship with himself, going from alone and disconnected to alone and fulfilled. Kim has gone on to help thousands of clients find their own unique way to break free of expectations and finally live their truth. With Single on Purpose, Kim takes his signature no-BS “self-help in a shot glass” approach as he shares his own singlehood story and shows readers how to own their shit, break their patterns, and find a grounded sense of self. Spending time to cultivate your relationship with yourself shouldn’t be something you only do when you hit rock bottom, go through a major loss, or have a quarter-life crisis. All of us, at some point, need to be single—on purpose.

Redefine Everything. Find Yourself First.

Single On Purpose

The Angry Therapist who has helped thousands of men find more happiness in their relationships and more purpose in their lives now shares his insights with everyone in this powerful guide—self-help in a shotglass—covering essential topics, from vulnerability and posturing to workouts and women. Deep in post-divorce soul searching, John Kim came to an astonishing realization: he was a miserable f*ck who might just be to blame for the problems in his life. Armed with this new insight, he began The Angry Therapist blog—an admission that, while he was a licensed therapist and life coach, he was no better than the people who sought his advice. In his first post, “My Fucking Feelings,” he wrote about the struggles and shortcomings that had led him to this point. As his work caught on, catapulting him into the role of unlikely and unconventional guide for thousands of people all over the world, Kim evolved from behaving like a boy to living like a man—and showed his clients how to do so as well. In I Used to Be a Miserable F*ck, Kim delivers the dos and don’ts for stepping up and into manhood, which he defines by transparency and strength of character, not six-pack abs or a corner office. With his signature no-nonsense approach that will make you laugh and think, Kim takes you on a rugged, rough and tumble road trip of self-exploration and discovery, sharing his wisdom and insights, such as why: Being nice is for boys, and being kind is for men Scheduling man dates could make you a better friend, lover, and human being Peeing in the shower is a sign of a larger problem Arguing, judging, and answering, “I dunno” are keeping you from a healthy relationship, a great career, and a happy life We are not born men. We are born boys. The transition from misery to meaning is an internal process that requires work: reflection, pain, courage, and sometimes, a rebirth. Kim knows because he’s been there. The truth is, men weren’t meant to just pay bills and die. With this book as your guide, you will love hard, walk tall, and find a life filled with purpose and passion.

A Guide to Finding Yourself

Single. on Purpose

A collection of dos and don'ts written by John Kim, a licensed marriage family therapist and blogger. It is a short, straight to the point list that every man should follow and every woman should seek in a man. "68" is a guide for men and a standard for women.

In his book debut, author John Kim introduces readers to his techniques and therapeutic philosophy. The book's "self help in a shot glass" system provides a clear, concise method for healthy personal growth, while achieving an enjoyable read. Breaking down traditional barriers, Kim explains how he developed his system through his clinic work, life coaching, and his experiences, sharing stories from his own life. Kim's writing style creates a highly relatable and practical system for the reader to follow, while providing laughs and smiles along the way.

Transparency

My Fucking Feelings

Tackling relationships, career, and family issues, John Kim, LMFT, thinks of himself as a life-styledesigner, not a therapist. His radical new approach, that he sometimes calls “self-help in a shot glass” is easy, real, and to the point. He helps people make changes to their lives so that personal growth happens organically, just by living. Let’s face it, therapy is a luxury. Few of us have the time or money to devote to going to an office every week. With anecdotes illustrating principles in action (in relatable and sometimes irreverent fashion) and stand-alone practices and exercises, Kim gives readers the tools and directions to focus on what's right with them instead of what's wrong. When John Kim was going through the end of a relationship, he began blogging as The Angry Therapist, documenting his personal journey post-divorce. Traditional therapists avoid transparency, but Kim preferred the language of "me too" as opposed to "you should." He blogged about his own shortcomings, revelations, views on relationships, and the world. He spoke a different therapeutic language —open, raw, and at times subversive — and people responded. The Angry Therapist blog, that inspired this book, has been featured in The Atlantic Monthly and on NPR.

When Emceeaye, a young man whose life is marked by alternating events of staggering beauty and anguished tragedy, is uprooted from his simple Laotian village to attend college in New York, everything that he believes to be true about life is suddenly opened up to doubt. His quick assimilation into Western life leaves him feeling confused and rudderless, but under the tutelage of a blind man with extraordinary perceptive abilities, Emceeaye learns to harness the power of the “three dominions”, hauntingly beautiful sensory experiences that blur the boundaries between reality and dreams, and sanity and insanity. Emceeaye’s obsession with the alluring beauty of the three dominions threatens to destroy the single most beautiful things in his life, a delicately layered and tenderly woven relationship with his girlfriend Melina. In a race to unravel the secrets behind the “three dominions”, Emceeaye must weigh his decisions carefully. Succeed, and he will re-discover the joy of a previous life. Fail, and he will forever lose Melina.
