John Kim – författare

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:

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.

Una guía oportuna y poco convencional para encontrar la felicidad y tu propósito en la vida. Esclarece tus dudas sobre lo que debes o no debes hacer e invita a examinarte y a reevaluar tu definición de la masculinidad.

Suda a diario 

No orines en la ducha 

JOHN KIM, LMFT, («El terapeuta enojado») fue el pionero del movimiento de life coaching virtual que nació hace siete anos, fruto del divorcio que lo transformaría en quien es hoy en día. Acaparó una gran red de fans gracias a su honestidad y a la autenticidad de las ideas que empezó a publicar en sus redes sociales. Se quitó el velo y compartió su historia personal a pesar de que a los terapeutas se les enseñe a hacer lo contrario. Kim es conocido por ser un terapeuta inconformista e innovador, reuniéndose con sus pacientes en cafeterías, en caminatas y en gimnasios de CrossFit. Creó su propio equipo de life coaching y lanzó otra compañía llamada «JRNI», una nueva herramienta para cambiar nuestra percepción de la vida. Vive en Los Ángeles. 

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.

El autor de Yo era un cabr*n amargado, The Angry Therapist, ahora te enseña cómo priorizar tu relación contigo mismo y vivir una vida más significativa, ya sea que estés solo, saliendo o con una pareja. 

Hay más en la vida que amar a alguien. Pero estar sin pareja puede parecer una sentencia de muerte. ¿Por qué estar solo = estar solo? ¿Y por qué dejamos de trabajar en nosotros mismos cuando estamos en una relación? 

Después de un divorcio doloroso, "The Angry Therapist" John Kim se dio cuenta de que nunca había estado realmente solo. Se embarcó en un viaje para reconstruir su relación consigo mismo, pasando de estar solo y desconectado a estar solo y satisfecho. 

Kim ha continuado ayudando a miles de clientes a encontrar su propia manera única de liberarse de las expectativas y finalmente vivir su verdad. En el libro  Sin pareja a proposito, Kim adopta su enfoque característico de "autoayuda en un vaso de chupito" sin tonterías mientras comparte su propia historia de soltería y muestra a los lectores cómo ser dueños de su mierda, romper sus patrones y encontrar un sentido de sí mismo bien fundamentado. 

Dedicar tiempo a cultivar la relación contigo mismo no debería ser algo que solo hagas cuando tocas fondo, atraviesas una pérdida importante o tienes una crisis de un cuarto de vida. Todos, en algún momento, necesitamos ser solteros, a propósito.

Two therapists analyze their own relationship to help untangle the common and frustrating barriers many individuals face on the road to a happy, loving, rewarding partnership.

Many of the clients who end up in our respective therapist offices thought they were doing relationships right—avoiding the white picket fence, focusing on careers and experiences over babies and legally-binding documents, choosing someone after they “found themselves” first. However, like clockwork, around their early to mid-thirties, these clients show up at our door. Why? For the first time, they realize that they dislike their relationship and are frustrated by their partner but know that another break-up won’t fix things. They recognize a pattern of relationship misery that has them finally looking in the mirror asking, how do you make a relationship last?

It took us many relationships, our own inner self journey (which we’re still on), therapy, therapy school, and helping thousands of people with their relationships, to learn to have better ones ourselves.Vanessa woke up at 31, after ending an engagement and moving to Los Angeles. John thought he woke up at 35 after his divorce.But he didn’t truly wake up until he was pushing 40.

In It’s Not Me, It’s You, John and Vanessa dissect their own relationship to help readers figure out theirs: what their relationships were like in the past, what traumas they carried into the new relationship, and how they work on growing together to foster a healthy and long-term bond.

The surprising truth is falling in love is more about you than your partner. It’s more about challenge and growth than comfort and ease, and roots don’t grow from wishful thinking—they grow in the soil of communication, curiosity, patience, and understanding.

It’s Not Me, It’s You is for anyone looking for real advice on relationships that takes both sides into account and discusses relationships with the honesty and clarity we all need.
