Assistant Professorial Fellow Kyung Min Bae and Senior Lecturer Ma. Kristina Carla S. Rico published their English translation of Seung-hwan Jeon’s “I’m Thankful to Myself” earlier this year. Below is the book summary of the publisher, Apop Books:
“I’m Thankful to Myself”
In “I’m Thankful to Myself,” author Jeon Seung-hwan poignantly addresses the universal struggle of comparing oneself to others. This common theme in self-reflection essays highlights how people often measure their lives against the success of others, leading to unnecessary dissatisfaction. Through a series of poetic essays and wistful photographs, the book delves into the power of being a good and “warm” person, revealing how this positivity can bring about good karma.
The English translation is now available for sale on Apop’s website.
