I recommend "It's Good As It Is" to these people:

Pretend it's okay, pretend nothing's wrong
Are you enduring a tough day today?

Have you had a busy day today without getting anything done?
They say there are no set answers in life, but do you ever feel like you're missing out on something important?
Do you find it difficult to maintain self-centeredness in a confusing and dizzying world?
Do you want to be free from your tired appearance and stubborn habits?
When I see and hear something, I resolve to change in that moment, but when I turn around, am I once again in the dark about my problem?
On days when I'm so tired and miserable that I want to cry inside, only negative thoughts come to mind.
At that moment, there is just one thought that stops that thought.

The worries in the book "It's Okay Just the Way It Is"
Self-esteem, depression, success, happiness, love, family, work, relationships, anger, performance, etc.

What are you worried about right now?
Ask yourself:
Who am I and what am I doing now?
Where am I going now?

“I am wondering how to live the right way.”
“I keep getting sick and anxious because I keep pushing myself too hard to achieve my big dream.”
“I have a lot of fear of making mistakes and am very conscious of what other people think.”
“I feel depressed about life and have no dreams or passion.”
“How should I live to be more free and happy than I am now?”
“What does it mean to live well?”
“How do you control your greed?”
“I want to be independent, but my parents live for me so much that it feels like a burden.”
“I don’t want to be fawning over others and trying to look good to them.”
“I work in sales, but I find meeting people burdensome.”
“I am on leave.
“At first I was resting well, but now I’m starting to feel anxious and I don’t really have anything I want to do.”
“I am taking medication for depression.
How can I feel at ease?”
“I don’t have any friends with whom I can have a glass of soju without worry.
Some people are uncomfortable for some reason, some people are so opinionated that it gives me a headache, and even old friends aren't as comfortable as they used to be."
“I have supported my husband for 35 years since we got married, but now that I am sick, he doesn’t care about me.”
“I hate that I resemble my parents.”
