About the Book

Did we ask to be born?

And if we didn’t… why are we here?

This book takes on one of life’s most difficult questions—and offers an answer that can change how you see everything.

Based on the widely followed teachings of Rabbi Manis Friedman, I Didn’t Ask to Be Born explores the questions people actually struggle with:

Why do we get hurt so easily?

  •  Why do we get hurt so easily?
  • What happens after we die?
  • Why do relationships fall apart?
  • Why do we feel lost—even when things seem fine?
  • Why did G-d create the world?

Instead of clichés or surface-level comfort, this book delivers clear, grounded answers rooted in Chassidic wisdom—translated into language that feels relevant today.
