About this listen

Tackling relationships, career, and family issues, John Kim, LMFT, thinks of himself as a life-style designer, 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 listeners 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.

Sound Guidance

As always there is alot of great wisdom and insight! I experienced a few "aha" moments and definitely intend upon re-listening to really absorb and practice some of the suggested exercises. For anyone struggling with "Who am I?" or "What is my purpose?" this book really helps. Thanks again and keep up the great writing!

Mindfulness guide or Put your fork down when chewing

Loved this cool. Exactly as advertised, NO BS, quick, striding to the point advice ok how to get your life on track (for some people), while for others, how to make it better.”I Try not to tie my worth or happiness to the external things anymore. But back then it was that whole image of success which is very commercialized. And because I didn’t have those things, I didn’t allow myself to be happy. So I would just grind, spend 13 hours a day at Starbucks trying to write clever dialogue and trying to sell the screenplay, hoping that that would make me happy and none of it did.”
